Update:  guess what guys and gals?  i'm gonna get this car afterall.  My Dad was able to get a hold of the lady that owns the car and she said to make her an offer and come get it outta here! 

It should be dry enough to go get it in about a month so i'll get pictures of it up on the lift for everyone whos curious. 

Now i get to be a real member and actually have cuda, instead of being just a B body guy from D-C.com. 

PT

PS anyone got two good fenders and a grill?   :newsad:


Hey PT,

Cool that you'll get it, & even if it's worse off than you expect, it's probably still worth it if only as a parts car. About those fenders? Goodmark is supposed to come out with Barracuda stuff next. They did the Challenger quarters already, & the fenders are supposed to be later this year. That's one of the reasons I bought my Barracuda when I did. I figured I had better get one while it was something I could still afford & save it for later to work on after I gather the missing or damaged stuff on it. It's going on a shelf in the garage right next to the kids bicylce.

BTW, you're still a B-Body guy from D-C.com like myself.  :laughing:  I've had mostly B-Bodies all my life & never any E's until recently.

That sure is great news PT.  I hope the month waiting period flies by for you.  I can't wait to see the pics when you finally get it!

That's awesome news, Pocket_Thunder!!!  Congrats!
I almost forgot to say that I was the other way around.  I was a member at D-C.com with a rusted out '69 Charger and a restorable '73.

WOW thats great news!!  WOOOO HOOOO  :grinyes:   :grinyes:   Yep get some pics up as soon as you get ahold of it!   I got a couple fiberglass fenders you could get pretty reasonable!!

that was my plan since real steel fenders were gonna cost me thousands of dollars.  So maybe i'll take you up on that.  not anytime soon though.  i've gotta finish my 68 Charger first, then the '69 500, then its the cuda's turn.  so in all reality the cuda might be 2 years out, we'll see i guess.

So, you're gonna restore her, instead of parting her out?

I'm leaning towards that now.  we'll see what it looks like once i get it in the shop and up on the lift..  It would be easy to part it out but i just love that color so much and i keep visualizing it all finished sitting in my garage....   :drool:

That's awesome that you plan on restoring it!!!  Props off to you PT!!!! :patriot:  I know I had the vision of my car all built up to my likings even before I bought it.  Now that vision is finally becoming real....slowly, but it's getting done. :thumbs:
