69 383 Formula S 4 speed

[Shane Kelley]

Building this for a customer. Going on year three on this one but heading down the home stretch. Original X9 black 383 Formula S 4 speed car. Not a factory original build but intended to drive and enjoy. Some things like the scoop were requested by the customer.  Some things like the 496 stroker motor are my influence. 

Stay tuned for more pics and info on the build.

Front fenders and header panel had been changed but everything else is still original paint. Overall a pretty solid car.

First thing was clean it up and and do a major photo shoot on all gaps and part fitment.  Then install the scoop before disassembly.

I will go ahead and give a little spoiler pic. for now.

Gotta love A-body Barracuda custom builds!!!  Stroker and 4 spd.   

But I'm just a little biased.......

Nice looking car...     Going to be a fun build to follow.

Probably gonna sell the Beast this Spring....  Looking for a more modern ride that has A/C, cupholders, power windows and creature comforts like that..   Sadly, I am getting old.....

Someone is going to get a super cool ride if they end up with your car.  Good luck and hope you find the next car of your dreams.

 Definitely a nice teaser.
Scoop does distract from car.   
Snapped this pic and posted fb just yesterday.

Nothing at all wrong with that scoop if you stuff enough engine under it......

Scoop looks at home on that car & I wouldn't mind it on a Super Stock or a /6-318 turned hot rod... But a factory 383 car I'd prefer to leave more or less stock...  But it's not my car & he can do as he pleases.. Hopefully he was wise enough to have a second hood (stock) painted at the same time...

The Super Stock hoods look great when you can see Beast lurking underneath it...  But I am biased....  LoL...
