Please post a pic of the 66 Barracuda. I have had a 66 Formula S for 30+ years. I bought a nice body for a project, sadly it is still sitting in the same place with nothing ever being done to it.

Will do! Just woke to find a few inches of snow. I was hoping to get her out for a few pics. I've had it since 1993, found in a barn. I thought at 1st glance it was an S-code, but was not. Came with many extras, including a new back window, and a new exhaust set, still boxed. It is a sky blue, with gold pinstripe and goldline tires. Will get some pics up asap.


Any plans to get your 66 going?

Had several different plans to get it going over the last 30 years. Even purchased an old 315 CI Hemi that was all rebuilt to put in it, engine now sits along the wall of the garage and has for 20 years.

Always loved that body style just life and more important hobbies have always got in the way.

Get that beauty going, small steps. Even if it takes a few years, that goes by really fast. Mine has the 283 commando.I want to get a hemi in it eventually. Ive looked around last few years, and there are very few here in upstate NY,that would fit and are f$.

Here are some sad looking pics I took today. My Dad owned a salvage yard back in the 60's-70's. I got the car as a real young kid for doing work on another car. It has set in this exact spot for 30+ years.

It is covered in snow but the Red Ram Hemi pictured has an automatic transmission with the adapter plate to but a 727 small block tranny to the old Hemi engines. It is sad to see these sit outside and decay. Wish I cared enough to do something about it.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a Barracuda on the road :eek:

My FIRST car was a '66 Valiant :D
