Hello and thanks for clicking on my '68 Barracuda!A great looking car that is on consignmentto my dealershipby itsowner, who had it built a few years ago.
This Barracuda was purchased by the owner out of the state of Texas and was in nearly rust free condition at that time. It was then taken down to bare metal for a repaint in Chrysler Deep Ocean Blue and it looks fantastic on the car! A Mopar 360 V-8engine was secured and sent out toa Mopar expert for a build which included a bore to .30 over, I beam rods, KB 10.7 to 1 pistons, Edelbrock aluminum heads, General Kinetic A6H-264-S camand a SCAT forged 4340 crank. She breathes through an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, headers with Flowmaster mufflers and out through 3" polished stainless exhaust extensions. All that power is directed through a console shifted, rebuilt904 automatic transmision with shift kitand cooled by a Griffin 4 core aluminum radiator with thermostatically controlled electric fan.
She also features power steering and power disc brakes, Cragar mags with radial tires, Grant GT wood steering wheel, bucket seats & consoleand modern sound system with amp & speaker box in the trunk.
She starts, runs &drives without any funny noises, smoke or other issues.The carstops straight without fading, pulsingor pulling, completely drama-free.She handles well too, with the oversized wheel & tire package: Firestone Indy 500 Firehawk tires with P275/60R15/1070S on the rear and P215/65R15/95S on the front.
Thisis an originalAC car. The guts of the system were removed to save weight and complexity. The ductwork & vents remain for anyone that would like to reinstall the system. The interior was redone well but lacks a few details that are easily sourced.
Of course,detailsare notneeded to have fun driving this greatcar, and that is what it was built for. This Barracuda was built to befast, loud and tons of fun, and it is. Sit down and hang on, because this fish will fly!
A few minor things I have noted since the car has been in my care: If she sits for a couple of weeks, the battery gets low, there are a couple of cracks in the paint on the hood only & she drips a few drops of this and that on the floor, not much but it should be noted.
Much of the trim on the car is original and shows the mild patina of age that you would expect from a 48 year old car.
I see no reason why the new owner couldn't fly-in and drive home in this sweet Barracuda!
Please notethat since this car is on consignment, I cannot take any trades. I have reduced the price of this classic Mopar muscle car to a fraction of what it cost to build. The owner says sell, so ithas beenpriced accordingly. DO NOT miss this opportunity to own a fun piece of Mopar history at a great price!
Contact me with any questions, photo requests, or to schedule a test drive. Thanks Again for looking and Good Luck!
