1970 Barracuda GC project

[kmiller]

i thought i would add my project to the forum.

Brief overview:

I bought this car from a guy that pulled it out of a junkyard about 30 years ago and had hopes to restore it. His "I'm going to restore it someday" story neve came , health issues forced the sale.

its Grand Coup 383/4speed car, told the wife that it would be a three year project and i over shot the time frame by 3 months, partly due to COVID , selling a house and moving to a much bigger space.! Car came with a lot of parts. another whole truck worth.
All work was completed by me.  I'll try and keep the pics on order.

Nice! Those neighborhoods almost look like you live in B.C. That was a factory blue car correct? I am looking for a factory orange, 4 speed, 383 GC sold new in B.C.

Wow!  Thanks for sharing!  That is such an amazing thing to see the process.  That is very impressive work sir!  More pics please!

thanks, yes it was a factory blue car with the blue interior.  i must be drawn to blue cars, my challenger is B5 and my R/T Scat pack is B5 so i decided not to have another blue one. here are a few more pics

I added the shaker as i've always wanted one. but an original shaker hood is nearly impossible to source in Alaska so i made my own.
