Hey guys, I've been a Mopar guy all my life, but just recently bought my first E body. I raced B bodies from 1989-2011 (oval track).So I want to restore this one, not destroy it on the track lol. It's a 1974 Barracuda. 99% complete and all original. 360 auto with a lot of options. Engine and trans were out, so a few pieces are missing. Right side exhaust manifold, flex plate, and alternator weren't there. I look forward to making this thing look new. Just have to finish the wifes Mustang first :).

 Welcome to the site. Looks like you have a good project to start with. Practicing on the Mustang first helps. :wave: :)

I was hoping that someone here might have some idea how many Barracudas came with a 360. i found a breakdown for 'Cudas, but not Barracuda.
