I'd like to start by saying thanks for such a great site and for keeping us so informed.
Attached are pictures of my 1969 Barracuda. Its nick named "Bad Habit", why? About 9 years ago it was in the upholstery shop for carpeting. Late one night, I stopped in to see how the job was going. The owner/installer asked me if I'd like a cigarette, I said "no thanks I quit" a few minutes later he asked if I'd like a beer "I said no thanks I quit that too". He looked at me very strangely and asked "how do you go day to day without any bad habits"? I told him he was working on the only bad habit I needed. The name has stuck ever since.
As for modifications it has a 10 point cage, highly modified 340, 727 trans with a 3800 stall and a narrowed and back braced 8 3/4 with 4:88.
I've just put a deal together for a 595 horse 440. The motor is being
purchased as a package deal from a guy that has it in 1970 Swinger. The
deal includes 440/727 trans fenderwell headers, 4" exhaust and elephant ears. Everything to allow this transplant to be a weekend job. I'll be cruising Brice Rd. this summer with the new combo.
Thanks
Keven Ellis
