Welcome to my page. My new 390 is installed including add ons such as Edelbrock performer RPM head intake, and 650cm carb. I had to Seal uo the old gas tank due to the unavoiadable rust.

While the engine was out I have done some bodywork in my spare time. You see I have already painted it a metalic candy-apple red, with some yellow scallops. (which I personally don't how they turned out). The engine is in the car and running but it wasn't getting very good oil pressure. it was missing some plugs, so the manifold had to be torn out to get to it. Well today it is FINALLY running, and I hope it stays the same.

I will try and get a decent sound system in, because I do have a lot of space in the trunk to play with. I have allready put in two-12" subs but are just in stock cases. plus I am putting in a little lighting in my car, such as some red neon in my trunk, and grill, and aome blue neon inb my interior.

If anyone knows where I can get some parts for a 1968 barracuda fastback that would be cool. I've found one but it needs some work on the front. It mainly needs a front clip. It got hit from a semi trailer (ouch).

The turn signals are factoy by the way 4 those who didn't know.

 

Pretty cool sequential turn signals for the 60's

I took out my old factory radio because it rarely works, and am replacing the old one with this sony. The thing is it doesnt fit, so I am putting it in my arm rest where the ashtray goes. I will have to cut out some of the orignal interior I hate to say.

Fresh sub boxes made by me  First time making one so it isn't the best when you look close enough,  but it thumps great! plan on doing one more enclosure on the left an installing a custom amp enlosure as well.

I purchased this car 9/3/04

I bought it from a town cop. It has been used as a patrol car, or so I've heard. I'm fourtnate enough to get this car because he wouldn't sell it to anyone else. He trusts me enough (ya right). He hasn't been worked on, or taken care of, so it my turn.
It has a 390 with a Holly 4-barrel carb. unfourtantly the carb needs to be rebuilt. I found an edlebrock 600cm performer carb to replace the holly.
The car runs and drives, except the 2ft+ flame backfireing out of the rusted off dual exaust, which leads me to buy a new exaust system.

The car is in good condition. Except for a dent in the front bumper( could be pounded out easily). There is minimal surface rust and very few dents. I will get a new paint job once I get the engine back. I plan on painting it red with a few gold strips; a lowrider look.
The interior is in great shape for what it has been through, laying under a tree and behind a shed slowly rotting away.
