It makes 100+ days bearable, and heat is great when it's in the 30s...

Awesome! I moved here in '98 and never looked back! Best move of my life! Snow and ice are soooo pretty... on the Weather Channel!! :-) Hope to see you at a cruise when things get back to normal (whatever that is!).

Beautiful story. Thanx! And yes, I've considered buying another Barracuda and duplicating what I had. But it just wouldn't be the same. I had spent so much time working on that car that I knew every nut & bolt, every square inch and every cubic inch. I could go head to head with Mark Worman...

BTW, here's why I opted for the 383 in my TBucket... Bought my new '67 Barracuda when I got out of the Navy in June of '67 (Yeah I'm an old fart!!) 383, 4 speed, 4 BBL, Formula S package. Had the car for 29 years then sold it to my best friend's 14 year old daughter. Went to the crusher 6 months...

I have several videos - my favorite is my granddaughter driving it! - but the site doesn't seem to allow video uploads... But to answer your question - Yes, it is loud! Before the exhaust tips were welded in place, I took a step drill to the center baffle in the glass pack and enlarged the hole...

It (Vintage Air under-dash unit) blows enough cold air to survive 115+ temps. But I still pray for a tractor trailer at stop lights to get a little shade!! :-)

Great idea!! Will do on next overhaul! Thanx!

I just had a major scare. My '23 TBucket's big block Mopar 383 was running the best it had in a long time. My neighbor and I had taken it out around town for the evening, setting off a few car alarms in the process... When I started the car the next morning I was met by a horrifying 'rod...

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! To those who mentioned the Chevy guys confusion about the distributor location, I added the MOPAR logos to the valve covers to make sure everybody knew what it was. The 3 most asked questions: Is that a stroker? "No, idiot! Look at the logo!" A/C in a...

Thanx for letting me join! My first 'real' car (that actually ran, that is) was a hand-me-down 56 Chrysler New Yorker Station Wagon in 1963. A few Chryslers and Valiants later, mostly $75 clunkers, when I got out of the Navy in 67 I bought my Dream Car. 1967 Barracuda, Formula S, 383, 4 bbl, 4...
