Barracuda Exterior
1970 Barracuda
These are the last pictures I took before selling in 2014 (owned since 1990)
Short History:
I found this car in the classifieds in mid-1990
One owner (former military...if I remember correctly) lady bought it in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Originally a 2-BBL 318 car/single exhaust...see "As Bought" tab
I did a lot of work to it from 1990 thru 1992 (paint job, engine, 6-BBL setup, new wheels, new tires, new hood, new windshield, rear spoiler, radiator rebuild, headers, dual exhaust, electronic ignition, new stereo and some minor maintenance).
From late 1992 thru 2011 I did almost nothing (life got in the way) to the car. In 21 years I only put 12,000 miles (avg. 580 per year) on the car. In all those years I only replaced the brakes, rear brake lines and tires.
In late November 2012 I decided to finally refurbish the Barracuda. Stage one was the interior, trunk and vinyl top. Stage two was the engine compartment (stages 1 & 2 were completed early May 2013). Stage 3 will be finishing the trunk lid area, stage four will be replacing factory a/c (completed 8/2013), stage five will be blacking out the rear panel...and finally, stage six will be new fuel tank. (UPDATE) All phases now complete...see subheading tabs...finished 5/2014
