Laying on the frame rails would have resulted in no frame rails left. Post it up for sale at a good price and let someone new have a chance to get into the hobby. Gene

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. Didn't you scrap a valiant? I sure did... If memory serves me correctly I offered it up for sale for what $400 with a fiberglass hood and narrowed 8 3/4. Car was missing windows, dash and all interior. No one wanted it and would not even make an offer on the entire car.. But I did offer it out there first in case someone may have wanted it.. No one did so it had to go.. So how is this the same? 2011 RAM3500 1967 Fastback Barracuda with some go fast goodies.

Around here it would have come out in 2 or 3 pieces... My vote is to get it running/roadworthy and drive as is! x2 That would be a cool daily driver - beat up trim and all!

You just haven't found the right source. FYI. There are a lot of '66-'67 B-bodies in Texas boneyards. I wouldn't mind having it but don't need anymore cars. You could always get it running and drive it as a survivor. Recover the seats first. '66 383 B-bodies were the roadrunners of their day

BUT - if you decide to part it out, PLEASE PM me, we are restoring a '66 Coronet 440 right now and could use some of that trim. Thanks and good luck! MOPARS ONLY!

Sorry for the all-caps yelling, but geez...I've wanted a '66-'67 Coronet since I was a little kid and never been able to make it happen, and the thought of a clean, straight 383-4bbl getting parted makes me crazy. If I had a place to put it (and could justify the expenditure) I'd PM you about buying it. Paul 68 Sport Fury ragtop 67 Fury III 4-dr HT 11 Charger Rallye 17 Challenger SXT Plus

Unfortunately even doing paint/bodywork/upholstery/mechanics your self you'd probably end with more than you could sell it for. It's going to have to go to someone who wants it for their own. I'd say take your needed parts & haul it to the swap meet next month.

That car has all kinds of neat ideas that could be done to it and once people see the before pictures they would understand why it was fixed any way it would be fixed.
