Year one just sent out the seat buns so only hold up is the seat covers :( I'll have to order my wiring harnesses, I've decided to replace all of them

I'm rebuilding the number matching 318 with the original 904 behind it. it will never be my daily driver again
Year One has free shipping going on right now.

That is so cool that you finally see your car in it's original color and I love the fact that you are keeping the original 318. You don't see many restored 318 cars that still have the 318. If I had my original engine I would do the same thing but it is long gone.

I agree putting it back together is going to be a process. i'm still waiting on interior :( Year one finally got the dash non rally in. the hood, rear valance and truck lid got its first coat too.

I got lucky to still have the original engine, transmission and rear end :)

I dont want to be a Debbie Downer, but I ordered my seat covers in August, checked the status Friday last week and they are saying May now.
Well great news, received my seat covers today from Legendary just as they promised. Long wait but they look amazing

Beautiful!

Keep up the progress and keep posting pictures.

I also bought my '71 Barracuda vert in 1983 if I recall correctly. I am the 2nd owner. 383-2bl automatic, power top, air, power drum brakes. My project is long stalled.
