It was a nice cool day for a 570 mile cruise. Took the truck up to Dallas to see Ryan about a motor yesterday. It's a 91 TBI 318 with all accessories, wiring harness and computer. Ryan even through in some magnum exhaust manifolds and a host of other goodies. This motor will replace the V6 and turn this lil gem into a tow rig for the 76 RC someday. Probably looking at January since it will be a slow period at work after Christmas. In the meantime it will be clean and prep for the swap. Thanks again Ryan!!!
Interesting side note. On the way home, I came speeding up behind a very clean 67 Barracuda notchback on a trailer. Later on we pulled off to eat some BBQ but with all the construction going on we couldn't get to the other side of the freeway and got back on the freeway and continued on. We pulled off to fill up and lo and behold there was this Barracuda at the gas station. I had Yolanda snap a few pics and I went to talk with him. A real nice guy and come to find out this was his first Mopar and he was just coming home from picking it up in Iowa. It was as beautiful inside as out with only 44K original miles on the odometer. It was a slant six but in a small bodied coupe it should be a screamer. Here's a few pics. Unfortunately, it was just getting dark but you can see it was real nice.
