Forgotten 1968 Barracuda Resurrection - The Story of a 20 year old Abandoned Project- Will it start?

This is the story behind my 1968 Barracuda. This isn't a how to video, it is more of a recap of a video that also isn't a how to video. Sorry for the shaky camera work. Thanks for watching the video and be sure to check out @Duddie'sAdventure for the rest of the shenanigans.

what memories this brings back

[@michaellawrence5492]

Never will this model car be forgotten having one of the most beautiful designs brought together of balance between power and form enabling swift movement thru air staying upon ground.

[@txjeff2k8]

Good meeting you this morning! -Jeff with the yellow Barracuda

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Yessir thanks for watching see you a Card and coffee soon enough

[@BobMarley-dk9hn]

You had me at Mopar

[@2HacksGarage]

Great car!!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks! 67-69 Barracudas are awesome

[@1961Duane314]

Had a 68 cuda like that vinyl top. Had front end rust issues too. Upper control arm bracket cracked and separated from the frame. Wish I had it today though. Thanks for the memories.

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Awesome. I think a vast majority of these cars are long gone due to rust. Honestly mine probably should have been scrapped many many years ago. I am glad I saved it for sure

[@MyKARSShop]

I’m only seven minutes into this, and I’m already thoroughly enjoying it. It’s two different perspectives on the same story - Awesome

[@ronsre-creations5289]

Madmen the both of ya ! Great job on getting that old Buick going again. Thumbs Up !

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Very cool. Going to be awesome to see you pull it all apart and rebuild, fixing all the things you put off or passed up in your younger days. Good luck and take care ✌

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

thanks man. we definitely have our work cut out

[@OdySlim]

Hey Buddy, I can wait to see your upcoming videos of this car. Regards from Ody Slim

[@afastcuda1970]

I have a '72 'Cuda that has been sitting nearly 20 years. You may have inspired me to get to work.

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Hell yeah man get after it... Unfortunately they don't fix themselves lol

[@440phoenix]

Great back history, glad to see you got her rolling it's all about the journey 👍

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks for watching dude

[@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy]

I like this year cuda it looks like a mini dodge charger to me i would get one n fix it for a daily driver 👍

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Yeah the 67-69 notch back cudas are sweet

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Wait...Not a Camaro?! This explains everything! FYI this Barracuda does awesome burnouts when it doesn't get so much traction !

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Cheater Juice = BTP Snake Oil

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

yep not a camaro LOL

[@79tazman]

I can tell right away that this guy must know the taco king down there in Mexico or Texas? anyway this is awesome good thing Blake over at Bad Tree turned me on to this channel lol!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks for watching man... Tacos are important

[@MyKARSShop]

That thing sounds nasty and aggressive! Loving the burn out video at the end.

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks for watching Mike. Glad you enjoyed it

[@MyKARSShop]

@@TheDodgeWhisperer thanks for sharing. Watching is a privelege.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Awesome my friend!!! Probably had some rust to knock off the rear brake drums! I think the Barracuda is a solid contender for the Nacho Cuda!! How bout another drag race...

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Yeah I would imagine so... maybe the brake fluid that is more than likely leaking from the wheel cylinders helped towards the end lol

[@MyKARSShop]

I absolutely freaking love this video! Real world, real honesty… The reality of what the car world is for most of us. Thank you so much for sharing. “Makin our way- the only way we know how....”

[@jacobelson5715]

Hell yes!!! Love it! Reminds me of my old Chevy C10 I drove in high school and had apart 3 times. 😂 Just recently got it resurrected too. Funny seeing the shit you did to yourself back when you were a teenager.🤣 Great video! 🇺🇸🤘

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks man. You will have to stop by and hear it in person

[@PeckerwoodKustoms]

Really cool vid man, and it works great back to back with the vid on Duddies page...Quite the history for the old girl too...20 years, looks like it was full steam ahead when you first bought it... The list of things that need attention is up there but its nothing really bad to be honest. Would you consider dropping the K farme and box out the bottom together in order to make better access to the floor section? Just a thought and its now my favourite way to get the running gear out...obviously box has to come off the motor too... Might be time for a stall converter while youre there :) Love this car... I have the 68 Fastback in black if you want to see what it looks like in that colour...Hahaha...Those tyres you threw on seem to have some grip in the wet too...good advertisement for them... Looking forward to seeing whats next mate...

[@DuddiesAdventure]

I think he has some big plans for this thing now. This Not Nacho needs to take on The Nacho in a Race!!!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

I will probably leave the k member in so it can roll around a bit as necessary. Yes it definitely needs a stall converter... the one in it is speced for a 6000 pound truck lol. I am thinking maybe 2800-3000 rpm stall would work pretty well

[@georgepatricks8580]

One of my favorite cars ever. However this guys is 9 kinds of crazy 😝. To much talk and not enough work being seen. Don’t care who’s doing the work but the enjoyment of seeing it fixed or built is what makes it cool 😎. But again this guy is nuts 🥜 lol 😝

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks for watching man. Check out Duddie's Adventure for the work side of the resurrection.

[@BigfootsnMopars]

Cool back story. Love the stance. Sounds SWEET! I think cat will forgive you once you take it along for a rip down the road.

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Thanks man. More to come this year

[@garyjohnson801]

You should always remember this primers have pors just like your skin so Water can get through it

[@Mechanickirk]

Build it for Autocross!!!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

that was the plan 20 years ago... probably going to do some drag racing now

[@JonnyMopar]

I still can’t believe it’s not a Camaro.

[@DuddiesAdventure]

I'm just as surprised as you are!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

I know right? ... even I was convinced

[@JonnyMopar]

@@DuddiesAdventure Lol. I think a photoshopped I can’t believe it’s not butter over laid with a Barracuda with a bow tie car cover is in order Duddie.

[@DuddiesAdventure]

@@JonnyMopar HAHAHAHAHA Perfect!!!!

[@gunjiweber42]

Dam what an awesome burnout session

[@garyjohnson801]

If you remove the clamp straps off the rear springs that car will hookup better for your race

[@twowheelrodeo]

From one Walleye owner to another alignment techs usually destroy suspensions. One indicator is they mimic their own humor. Ah.. Best solution is doing ones own shop manual adjustments. 💀

[@MuscleCityMadness]

Kick A%$!...I love Happy Endings! Build em up and BURN EM DOWN BABY!

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Good job on the brakes!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

LOL thanks man!

[@garyjohnson801]

I'm confused how is that a 380 crate motor. Did you mean a 360/380 horse ?

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

yes it is a Mopar 380HP crate motor from back in the day

[@PoorBoysGarageUSMC]

Sounds nasty!

[@TheDodgeWhisperer]

Yeah the Magnum 380 crate motor has a nasty cam for sure. Thanks for watching!
