Someone didn't pay the bill. There's another stripped project in the middle pic.

One of Bacca's projects, so only messing with the barn find part....though it almost feels like one because he's had very little time to do any work on it up to now. First time it's been uncovered and seen the light of day in a long time. I'm looking forward to helping him start putting it back together. Quite a bit of work required, though bodywork pretty much completed and almost all the parts ready to fit back. No way will be on the road this season but hopefully by next year.

Yes, yellow with a green interior originally. Interior now will be black.

He's gone down the originality path with his Charger 500...or as far as he reasonably can...but think he just wants to build this one how he wants it...plus he really didn't like the original colour.

Hi David, they're both a bit 'in yer face', that yellow and the green :shock: :lol:

Next time you see Bacca, tell him to get that 500 finished; him and Paul have been teasing us for donkeys years with tales of 69 500's tucked away somewhere or other ;) :lol:

I’m with Mr Bacca now and he’s corrected me about the GTX colour. Although it was restored and painted yellow in the 90’s, the car at that time had been painted black. However, black wasn’t the original colour either as it came off the production line in dark green metallic. As it has an original green interior with ivory white seats, white headliner and vinyl top it had to be green to keep it sane.
