Remember this Barracuda?

Can you remember that dark red 68 Barracuda that belonged to Brad but caught fire big time in the engine bay?

It also got a lot of bodywork damage by being moved around with a fork lift truck?

Well it has polished up a treat.

You may remember I re-built the six pack on it?

I have just been giving it a basic tune to get it running half decent. It needs more initial timing and a higher stall convertor though. Not sure the mixture is perfect either but I did what I could given the time and circumstances.

What a great save Dave!

I must admit, when it was sent to the salvage yard, I thought it was curtains for that car.

Great colour, and I'm glad someone saved it. It's a wheel change away from being a stunner IMO.

OK so it was a very VERY dark red that just happened to look like black.

You expect me to remember details like that with my brain?

Looks amazing now, so much better than the dark red (midnight dark

) that it was before, I imagine we'll be seeing that out and about soon
