What's under the hood?

A classic movie.... she was hot at that time...

I have a ton a pictures of this car including when it was pee-yellow when she owned it.

Here are some high level details of the car.

1 of 1,281 convertible 1969 Barracuda's made that year
Originally had a 318 engine / 904 trans
Now has a crate 360 (5.9L) / 727 trans (engine and trans painted same color as body of car)
Rear end is a Dana 60, 36 splined axle setup from Strang Engineering
3:54 gears
Purple Crazy Purple with metallic added
SSBB, 4 piston disc brakes all around
Completely stock interior including a very rare original AM/FM radio is perfect working order
Complete Hotchkis front tubular suspension
Hotchkis subframe connectors
Canvas (similar to Sunbrella) convertible top with glass window

I could go on for days.

The only picture from the week. I'm trying to get more.

The sides of the seat will have the 2 OEM stripes in the gray carbon fiber and deep red to match the fire red flake gel coat of the boat.

As ALWAYS, the projects you do aggressively redefine OCD and are always in the upper decile. From the Cuda to the Expedition and now this interior redo are always A++++

Looks Awesome, Tom! I can't wait to see the finish product. That boat will look better than new.

SteveO - I will take your comments as a compliment as I believe OCD is a gift. I tend to buy what I like and keep it for a long time. Some may say pumping all that money into an Expedition is stupid and from the outside looking in, it is. Anyone can go out and buy a completed car. How many can say they build a 400+ hp Expedition and not many people have this vehicle. Again, thanks for the support. I will one day add a 1969 SS/RS Camaro Convertible to the garage after the kids are out of college. Need to get them out of high school first.

And best yet, no boat payments. I'm hoping for more pictures early next week. It may be done at the end of next week. The shop said they made a lot of progress on it this past week.

I can't wait...

Tom, That looks awesome. Did you wax the fiberglass under the seats and panels when she was all apart?

I deliberately did not give the upholstery shop the nuts and bolts to reinstall the interior. I removed all the fasteners and kept them to save $$$ and so I could work at my own pace to reinstall the interior once I get the boat back. I do plan on completely detailing all the fiberglass behind the seats. I think I should get the boat back by the end of next week.
