To answer your question...time/money/storage space. Running/driving cars like this one don't sell for $3500 and this car needs to be brought back from the dead. I'd hate to do it but really don't need a ninth (or is that tenth) car to insure/garage/drive. It's a neat car I like the column shift for some reason.

I love 66-7 B bodies and that one looks very complete. -Reggie tobnHisglory2000@aol.com Former Mopars: 73 Charger - 440/727, 68 D200 Camper Special 383/727, 67 Satellite, 71 Superbee, 73 RoadRunner,2009 Ram Quad Cab Hemi 4x4 Current Mopars: 2005 Ram Quad Cab Hemi 4x4, 73 Cuda FE5 318 manual

Once you scrap it, it will be one left in the world... I say save it... Or hook someone up who wants to get into the hobby and it looks to make a great starter car. 2011 RAM3500 1967 Fastback Barracuda with some go fast goodies.

It is a 383 4 barrel B body, hottest thing in 66 besides a Hemi car from MoPar. Don't part it, sell it. Less time and work, the parts aren't worth that much, and you'll make someone happy. In addition it looks complete and has the fender tag and certicard, and I'd bet a build sheet. Is the engine stuck? Last edited by GTX MATT; 02/28/13 02:25 PM. Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street
