SWEET!!  :twothumbsup:

per GG's "white book":

1974 Barracuda BH23
85 - 360 auto
40 - 360 4-speed
5 - 360 3-speed

1974 'cuda BS23
761 - 360 auto
398 - 360 4-speed
31 - 360 3-speed

So your car is a Barracuda not a Cuda? 1 of 5? Wow that's awesome!   :woohoo:

Welcome, nice project.  What are your plans?
I plan on restoring this thing to original condition. All numbers matching and only a few small parts missing, my only choice.

Thank you all for the greetings. JIMYNICK, I am open all suggestions with this car. I just want to do what is right for the car. When I found it, my first thought was 440. Then I found out here that it is kinda rare. The last thing I want to do is damage or devalue it. I'm thinking now about just rebuilding the drivetrain and suspension, and some interior work, then drive it for a while before doing anything to the body. So you are right, there is always more than one choice. Any opinions on what should be done are welcome.

Another choice would be to sell me the car 😊. I need another project!
