Barracuda

 Up for your consideration today is this 1970 Barracuda. It is a factory vitamin c with white interior car. This car still has its original drivetrain in it. Yes it is a 225 slant six with automatic trans. From what I can find this is one of less than 200 built cudas with that engine/trans combo. I have had this car for about 1 1/2 years and don't see myself getting it done anytime soon. So with a bit of hesitation I have decided to sell it. Ok now for the car. The paint on it is 44 years old. Yes that's right it has the original paint from the factory. Some shade tree body man put some thin filler over the paint on the driver door and front of qtr panel but that is it. NO patches. ondo filler. rashed. eplaced or hidden damage to panels. Does the car need some body work? Yes it will need the rear window area fixed as there are a few holes around the pinch weld area. As for the front it will need the same as well as the upper cowl area by the wiper motor. It will also need a trunk pan and RH extension. Now for the good. There is NO rust through on the fenders. oors. prons. ore support. tr panels. eck lid. r rockers. The floor pans are excellent with only about 8-10 small pin holes in the drivers front floor. Rear pans are perfect. The subframe and rear rails are perfect as well. The car has a 8 1/4 rearend behind the 6 cyl. The grill is near perfect. I do not see ANY cracks or missing pieces. It will need repainted and one or two small stone dings fixed on the stainless trim. The stainless trim for the front windshield has been polished to show condition and a brand new windshield will go with the car. Also there is a NOS windshield reservoir tank as well. Seat belts are there as well as most all the interior and trim. The seats will need recovered as well as carpet. eadliner and obviously a new dashpad installed. There is NO jack or spare tire/rim and NO drivers door glass. The fender data tag is also mia and the broadcast sheet was rotted away. Odometer shows 33000 which is over I'm sure. It has the standard cluster in it. Shifter is on the column. No AC or power options. This car came from northern California. The title I have was issued in 1980. It shows the original owner bought it in Feb of 1971. It was sold in 1991 and that buyer never transferred it. I do not know how many hands it has been through but I know that the second to last owner supossedly got it from the 2nd owner. So I will say 4 or so owners. I have taken many pictures of the car. You decide what the car is worth. As with all my auctions it will be NO RESERVE! In the past I have gotten non paying bidders from far away or ones with no feedback. If that happens with this auction I WILL be sending a second chance offer. My terms are 500. 00 deposit within 48 hrs and the rest within 10 days. I expect pickup in a timely maner. But I will store inside my shed for a few days if needed. Contact me first before bidding concerning this. The car is sold AS IS. I will help in shipping a little but you are responsible for trasnsport. I encourage all interested parties to come look at the car. I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time for whatever reason that need be. Thanks for looking and good luck.

The rallye wheels on it are 14 inch not 15 inch. However the center domes are near perfect. I'd say NOS or excellent originals. I have the park light housings but the lenses are missing. I had them at one time. I will search for them. ut  for now you are buying without lenses. The rubber pad for the brake pedal and e brake are not with the car. They were not useable. The title is the original from 1971. It is signed on the back so it is full. In those days there were no reassignments. It is a California title. Two of the previous owners were from close by in Kerrville Tx. I have their contact info. The front seat is the bench/bucket. It is complete but will need foam and covers. Same goes for the rear seats. Bows for the headliner are with the car. Dash panel. cluster" is in good shape and still has the original radio in it. Nothing has been cut up in the dash. There are several extra side markers and lights. I have already been asked for a buy now price to end the auction early. In trying to be far to all I am going to let it run if at all possible. Thanks for all the interest and questions. I have way more pics of the car than I could put on. So if there is something else you want to see let me know.

 I seem to be getting asked the same question over and over again. For some reason people think there is some magic or secret price I want for the car. The car is already selling and I am not putting a buy it now price on it. I am not a Mopar dealer knowing what every car in every condition is worth. To me what it is worth is what somebody is willing to pay. This is a great car to start a build on and those who know e body cars are aware of that. This car was received by me in trade for my AAR. I was going with a hemi clone but I have other business that requires my attention. In other words I do not need it. Now for a couple more things about the car. It does not show up well in the picture but there is a soft dent across the top of the RH qtr. It is not deep and very workable. There is also one on the left fender just in front of the marker light. Again it is on the side and very workable. To sweeten up the deal I am throwing in a brand new AAR fiberglass lift off hood. Thats right free to the buyer. It cost me about 350. 00. Thats all for now. Thanks again for all the interest. I am trying to be as honest about the description as possible.
