Re: Project to restore car turns into a family classic

The car I learned to drive in was a 67 barracuda convertible, It has been in my mothers name since day one. My father decided to restore the car and has been buying parts for it over a series of decades now but has never worked on it. The restoration is prolly gonna be left to me sometime in the future so wish me luck. It has a lot of similaritys of what will be needed to do the job up in the 440 challenger r/t restoration above. The baby was burgundy with a white top and white interior and factory air had a 273 V8
which has so much ridge ring in the cylinder walls it would have to be punched and even then might leave the walls to weak. Will prolly put a low compression 340 in it that we have and maybe hunt around for a 273 if we ever decide to make it completely original in terms of engine. I would like to upgrade the automatic to a 727 torqueflight over that 904 that was in it and switch the rearend to a 8 3/4 prolly and find a sway bar k frame for her. So I will have my hand s full whenever I decide to launch into this project thats for sure!!!!
