Hello from JJspeedshop. We bought a rusty 70 Barracuda

[JJspeedshop]

Hi, I just drug home this beast. 318 auto and needs torsion bar mount replaced. This was an emotional purchase as I traded a decent 71 GTX foir it. Thanks for letting me join.

Why is it when you said it was an emotional purchase, the Rolling Stones song "Emotional Rescue" popped into mind. The phrase where Mick says, "we can ride across the desert on a fine Arab Charger", I was thinking, "I can drive across the desert in a fine Barracuda"?

Howdy and welcome from Colorado.

Rusty looking fish.
What are the original options? Fender tag? Or build sheet?

I see your a speed shop, so do you have specific plans for the car?

Looks like a BH car from the three holes in the tail panel.
Is that a non split bench up front? H1X9 ?
Looks like a painted top car in EW1 originally.
I see no sign of V5X on the car.
Does appear to have had a black cover up of the ew1 once and they left chevy stripes in the original white.
Can't wait to see a write up about the car!

@JJspeedshop

no fender tag, I think originally white

No fender tag or build sheet/ broadcast sheet does make a perfect slate for a restomod!

Just get the sheetmetal clean and throw a 383 in it
