I had two rust bucket 67 barracudas that I was going to combine into one. Well I ran across a deal on a straight body that needs no metal work and little interior work,just an engine so I traded my jeep for it. He wanted 4500.00 and I traded even . The jeep was a 95 that got 16MPG and I never drove it because of that..
I ended up with a 69 barracuda .The engine runs but has low oil pressure .I have a good running 340 to put in it. Now I just need time. I have sold every muscle car that I have ever bought due to money and this time I am going to finish one as a good driver.
Cars sold 70 charger,two 73 challengers ,66 coronet,two 67 barracudas. I still have one 67 barracuda that I am robbing stuff off of here and there and I need to pull the engine before I sell it.
I just found out I am going back overseas for 6 months so here we go again with the putting a project on hold but this time I have a place to keep the car so I hope by next spring to be cruising the hwy. :coffee2:

I just did some horse trading for an engine hoist so I plan on getting the engine swapped in the next couple of months. After that and a front brake job .. I should have my barracuda on the road. I am replacing the 318 with no oil pressure with a good running 340.I will the have my 67 parts car to sell and some spare money for another toyafter the swap. :coffee2:
 

Engine swap complete,now exhaust work and I should be driving her.
