    Great car and song, sorry but every time I see one my mind goes straight to Heart.

    P.S. I know the song has nothing to do with the car but does it really matter.

    While I personally prefer the post-facelift 67 to 69 Cudas, this Lil Fishy is working some serious mojo.

    *sigh* It's like a breath of fresh air. 66 really was the best year for the early Barracudas, and this car is built up more or less what I would do to one, given the opportunity. Those dual Offy intakes are too cool. Makes my six's single quad Offy look like a cop-out intake. :P

    @armyofchuckness: Cop intake? Coming right up. :)

    1966 is my favorite Barracuda, and I have nothing but respect for anybody who hops up a slant rather than doing a V8 swap. Just needs metallic green paint, rallye wheels, and a pushbutton Torqueflite.

    I have a question - do all these spare parts fall under the $500 rule? I mean, having whole spare engines seems more like traditional racing to me (ie. big budget), which doesn't really fall under the heading of LeMons, in my opinion.

    @Jeremy Wilson: Not when you buy parts cars for scrap value (or less; I bought a scrap volvo amazon for 1 cent once, on eBay). We're not talking new, fresh, replacements. We're talking "barely better than the crap we just took out" spares.

    @Jeremy Wilson: ...until you realize it's 5 guys of mediocre skill trying to do major overhauls while rolling in the dirt with 2/3rds of the proper tools.

    When it gets that major, you're really out of the competitive running anyway. It's mostly for glory/bragging rights/masochism.

    The interior is being invaded by consecutively larger green Tribbles. I hope they don't eat the upholstery.

    Very nice car. I love the idea of a hot rodded slant six. You can get all kinds of neat goodies for these from Clifford Research. I can't tell if this car has headers or not, but you can get those as well.

    Yeah, I always liked these Barracudas. Another car I like from the same era is the Rambler Marlin, which has the huge back glass as well.

    And don't forget the 1st-gen Charger. The quirkiness of the early muscle car-era mopars is just great.

    Oh man oh man oh man: I really, really, really, really, really love the back ends of these early Barracudas (as well as many of the other ridiculously long sloping rear ends of the era, like the early Chargers).

    You can't kill an old Volvo, even with fire!

    Getting the cranky Italian rebuilt and back on the road..mama-mia, that's amazing.

    A very kind Corolla FX16 team gave us their whole bag of old brake hoses, and luckily, with minimal modification, one of their spares fit the mustang caliper we're using.

    Go heroic fixers! Is that a stencil of a head gasket on the Milano's left flank? Hilarious.
