Description of 1969 Plymouth Barracuda

1969 Barracuda convertible with a 340/727/8 ¾. Car was originally a 318/904/8 ¼ car. It has PS, B, M radio (not working), lock (not working) and bucket seats with headrests. It was an original A/C car so I installed the compressor unit on the 340 to maintain somewhat of a factory appearance, ut it does not work. The 1970 standard bore 10:1 compression engine was rebuilt including heads with a 3-angle valve job and stainless valves, Comp hydraulic 480/280 cam and lifters were installed. It is balanced and has standard main and .010 rod bearings. It has a Holley 750 CFM single pump carburetor and Edelbrock Street Dominator intake. Transmission was rebuilt with firm shift and a 2400 stall torque converter. A factory A-body 8 ¾ rear housing was fitted with a 3.91 posi 489 center section, ew axles, rakes, ylinders and drums. '74 Dart front disc brakes and a new pair of Hemi type leaf springs were also installed. It has new BF Goodrich 225/70R/14 radial T/As on 6"ralley wheels up front and new BF Goodrich 275/60R/15 tires on 7"ralley wheels on the back. Headman ceramic headers flow through 3"exhaust with turbo mufflers and factory tips. A driveshaft loop was also installed for safety. The car has about 30 miles on it since the rebuild and transformation, o it still needs some fine tuning and adjustment...I guess. One thing is I can't seem to get the kick-down linkage set right yet, ut I manual shift it with absolutely no problems. The other things I can think of right now are the speedometer jumps like there's a kink in the cable, nd the Sun tachometer doesn't want to read consistently above 2,000 RPM, robably aconnection issue somewhere. I haven't done an all-out ¼ mile blast in it, ut it will chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd at about 4,000 RPM. The body is far from perfect with a few dings and scratches in it. There is a playing card size hole in the spare tire wheel well but the rest of the body is decent. The power convertible top with a glass rear window is also decent with a few patch panels on the top, ut who buys a convertible to drive with the top up. It is just for that rainy emergency. The fender tag doesn't match the car so at least the left inner fender could have been replaced at one time in its 46 years, ut I'm not selling it as a museum piece at a museum price and, could have just taken it off and said it was missing. It's a car that will turn heads and bring smiles to many, ncluding its occupants. I just have too many projects between mine and my wife's and I want someone to enjoy this Mopar.
