: I understand the venerable DD occasionally
: resides here. I am less than a day away from
: taking possession of a car I believe he
: helped to create. It's a '67 barracuda
: notchback with a fairly well built /6. The
: engine build-up was a subject of a Car Craft
: article in November of 1999. The car has a
: bit of bondo but is in pretty good condition
: otherwise, and I love the idea of a /6,
: 4-speed, bench seat 'cuda coupe.
:
: Is there anything I should know about this car
: before I hand over my money? Or just some
: further history perhaps? Thanks a ton.

:
: Yup, this sure sounds like Matt King's old
: cuda.
: Is the 8 3/4, 3.91 rearend still in it?
: That car has some good parts with it but Matt
: did not spend the time to get everything
: working well.
: How much are they asking for this Cuda??
: DD

:
: Pleased to meet you sir. It is indeed Matt's
: old ride, and it does have the 3.91 8 3/4 in
: it. Also a Clifford intake and exhaust, and
: judging by the Car Craft article the seller
: sent me, a seriously worked head.
:
: The front and rear seats have been recovered,
: it has a new dash pad, and the seller has a
: new headliner in a box. The body *looks*
: straight, but has some bondo in the rear
: fenders and one of the front fender
: "nose" pieces. All the trim is
: there except for the lower trunk piece. (It
: seems ALL the '67's are missing this piece).
: The seller was asking $3000, I've agreed to
: $2400. S'right?
:
: Thanks for your interest,
:
: Mike
:
: It looks to me like the mods were done right.

: Hey, everyone else, feel free to comment,
: question, ridicule, etc. I only addressed
: the post to Mr. Dutra because the Car Craft
: article mentioned him as providing a bunch
: of expertise. I didn't mean to exclude the
: rest of the group.
:
: I'm pretty excited about picking up this car. I
: love the looks of the 2nd gen Barracuda
: coupe, and the slant/4-speed/bench seat
: combo is just too cool.
:
: Have a good weekend, Mike
