67 Barracuda

Another project i picked up.
Been sitting for several years.
Wasn’t planning on doing much with it until i got more done on the Corvette, but got a bug to see if i could get it to run.
Last weekend i threw a battery in it and gave it a shot. Starter was weak, and the carb leaked. But she tried.
Quick carb rebuild, and a new starter.
Electric fuel pump to a gas can and she fired right up!

So making it an LO23 car then?

good luck!

Definitely going for a retro build! But can’t afford to do a Hemi! But I do have a 440/727.
Thinking old school tunnel ram.

Of course it fired right up, it’s a Mopar! What engine does it have now?

Currently a mid 70's 318. the car originally was a 225, stick car. but so much has been changed. it had a 383 in it at 1 time, then a 340. de-tuned and became a daily driver! but has been sitting for 10 years!
this is my first personal Mopar. have worked on many though.

It wasn’t what I was looking for. Originally looking for a Dart..
but the guy I got from has 2 darts…
But gave me a screaming deal! So I couldn’t pass!!!
It really is growing on me!

When I was in HS, that would have been a 10 year old hand me down car. Always wanted one.

67 was a great year across all the big 3. I love it.

Had both cars running over the weekend. Did an oil change, repaired a transmission line. Got it running pretty well, fires right up. But currently running off of a gas can. need to drop the tank, get it cleaned. And replace all the fuel hoses.

My first car in High school was a 67 Camaro! In 1977!
I can relate!!

Had it running fairly decently!
