General Description
Bought this 1973 Barracuda fall of 2018. Pretty solid car for the most part. Originally Forest Green car but now In-Violet. Person I bought it from got it about 8 years prior, from what I can tell it went thru a "flip" restoration back then. Not very good. Definitely not done by someone who knew Mopars.
Wanted to do a full restoration but with 3 in college you know how that goes. So instead I did a little extensive refresh. Mainly focusing on the interior & engine bay to make it presentable for cruise nights. Ended up doing much more than I anticipated. Pulled the engine and trans, stripped down the engine bay and painted. Rebuilt the dash, added new Dakota Digital gauges. Rebuilt the steering column, rewired the entire vehicle using M&H harnesses. Trans needed a rebuild. Added Sniper efi along with new fuel tank and lines. New brake lines all around. Wanted to make it reliable driver. The full resto will come once the kids are out of school.
