Anyone have any good reference info on line for these cars? I see so far not many restoration parts appear to be available. Never done one of these but this fella is 87 now and wants to get his original ride back on the road. He bought this car brand new back in late 67.

Besides looking at the Classified ads here, I'd spend a little time searching around on Google to see what info you can find; you might come up with some good contacts or resources.

Indeed no aftermarket parts, you have to rely on parts cars and NOS parts. The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

It's black cloth insert with vinyl skirts. No rips or tears anywhere but the vinyl is pretty hard. Will not last long that's for sure. 1968 Barracuda Fastback 318-2BBL 904 2.76 Frost Blue Survivor 1970 Roadrunner 440+6 BBL 727 AT 4.10 SG Dana Blue Fire Metallic 1971 Cuda 340-4 BBL 4spd 3.91 SG Curious Yellow 1972 Barracuda 318-2 BBL 904 AT 3.23 1 Legger Tor Red/White Vinyl Top 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi AT Patriot Blue 2011 Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 Hemi 6spd 392 SG Triple Black 2014 Dodge Charger RT Max AWD 5.7 Hemi AT 305 Billet Silver
