    Power top conversion..

    No, I have not.. and thanks for that information. I did not know that, but should have guessed it, as the frame is pretty heavy to move around, when not mounted on the car. I have been so fortunate to get power tops, on both the two convertibles I purchased previously... and both of them, are...

    Power top conversion..

    Thank you very much...! I do have access to a power top frame from a barracuda, so I could have a look at that.. but I had somewhat hoped, that there was some crafty ppl somewhere, producing & selling a complete (and affordable) "retrofit setup"! To be honest, if unobtanium (original vert) parts...

    Power top conversion..

    I agree completely, but it was late in the day, and as I was uanble to spell... "Hydraullification" at time... 😅, I picked the easy way out.. and even though I agree completely, I always sort of thought "electricity" first, when I heard ppl say "Power top".... 😇

    Power top conversion..

    Hi E-Buddies I am considering buying a Banana 70 Challenger Convertible, with a manual top.. and was wondering, if there is any complete "P37" pw top conversion kit´s available anywhere, or if I have to go chase them "unobtainium parts"... if I get lazy, and decide to "electrify" the top? Does...

    Barracuda front wheel (disc brake) bearing sizes... ?

    After a quick front end "spring check-up/service", it turns out that my beloved 1970 Barracuda with disc brakes, needs at least one new outher bearing! I thought of doing the whole front bearing wise, in one go.. (inner / outer, and seals).. BUT, it would be a tremendous advantage, to "order...

    To be honest.. I only had time to clear enough free floor space, to roll in the 70' and jack it up on a floor jack, but will definitely check the trans when I get the lift free.. but I did get pictures.. will post ASAP.. :-)

    Barracuda - Odd engine stamp - Not matching # / Original.. or?

    Finally got the garage cleared, and got the Barracuda in the air, scraped of some flaky paint that was camouflaging the stamp, and was thrilled to confirm, that the car still have it´s original engine..! Thanks again, to all of you nice E-Buddy people! 🥰

    Barracuda - Odd engine stamp - Not matching # / Original.. or?

    Thank you Lee.. Interesting with the blue tag.. Is anything stamped on those riveted tags? I don't recall seeing any, but might very well havd looked in the wrong spot on the block..! I work so much, that I forget a lot of things, but will get pictures when it stops raining every day, all day...

    Barracuda - Odd engine stamp - Not matching # / Original.. or?

    Thank you very much... After reading a few more half hours, I realize, that I might have been looking in a slightly wrong location.. so I will arrange a trip to the garage and get the Barracuda up on the lift, armed with "light, camera, action" (and brake cleaner).. I remember asking my friend...

    Barracuda - Odd engine stamp - Not matching # / Original.. or?

    Hello E-Buddies! I hope to hear some advise, as to what I can truthfully inform potential buyers of my 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupé, regarding the originality of the engine! I really hate to sell it, as it is such a beautiful (and healthy) car, which has given me SO much driving pleasure the last...
