well like I've said before my dads got a lot of the stuff this doesn't have, such as roof, hood, trunk, parts of the floor, engine and trans, so really its not that bad. Plus it needs it man, u really wanna see the car goto the scapper? Cause I'm sure it will happen, that cuda just needs somebody to care for it. I understand its gonna take time and money but at the end of it it will be worth it.

It will be a project for sure, but you'll learn alot along the way and have quality time with your dad and family.  My dad died very young....we never had a chance to connect.  I understand the money thing, so go for it.
At one time it was a nice car, and it can be again.  Farmboy looks like he replaced most of the sheetmetal on his car, and the finished result is fantastic.  I recommend looking over his resto post:  "just another 318 challenger".

kotakid,

update your profile, atleast tell us what State you live in, someone, close to you might have a part or two they would be willing to help you out with ... donations always help, and we are a pretty close knit group.

So how are you going to restore this?  You and the car and the parts are roughly 6 hours from each other, unless my math is really bad.  That'll put a damper on the weekends.

Looks like a pretty good deal.  wish it was the floors and trunk pan and maybe even a little cheaper for him. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
