Yeah I checked my 72 Barracuda 318 Coupe and all the stamped numbers everywhere matched the paperwork. Although I plan on a tribute, we used to call them clones, or better yet restyled I heard on B.J. 1970 440 'Cuda look a like. I can't win the lottery to buy the real deal numbers car. LOL Not...

I always make sure I verify what I'm buying! If she ain't got a title and matching tags/stampings then walk... Graveyard cars did a rare "cuda and had local police inspect the car then they do the replacement work and have it inspected when finished. Properly I believe it would be issued a...

I know car companies put v.i.n. numbers in various places throughout the body sheet metal. You can always compare tags if suspect. Unless of course you have replaced about every single piece of sheet metal I've watched shops or people do. For instance a 1970-74 E body v.i.n. tag is attached to...

Most definitely is a felony in the eyes of our elected officials. These days such is the way things are.

I was always told by friends and relatives I should charge more. Hearing this for 35 years and now getting worn out finally thinking I was crazy for doing work at prices I thought were fair. Should have been greedy, I would have been much better off than I am now. Prices I see and hear people...

I find the shows on television funny sometimes. Especially the ones out of California and Texas. What they consider bad. LOL

Looks like new to us up here in the rust belt. We are forced most times to work with real rusty cars. This is easy money..

Sold yet? I'm 30 minutes away from you..

If you're good with plastic repair this is a steal!

What size tires do you have on yours?

Thank you very much. What size did you go with, I want to use as big as I can. How's the revs at high speeds(60-75) with your 14's Of couarse I know it matters what axle ration and trans. I plan on 440 and 727 with like 3:36?-3:42?

I have 2 wheels stamped 3699331 and one stamped 3580065 They all are 14 x 6" I'd like to know if back spacing is the same on all 14 x 6 road wheels. I'm trying to locate a fourth wheel to make a set but I don't want to buy a fourth that doesn't match the other three. I've found two for sale...
