Here you have a very solid 1970 Barracuda. I bought this car in 2009, from a collector here in Dallas area. It had been barn/garage kept for yrs prior to his acquiring it. I bought this for a reason that no longer applies in my life, and honestly dont love E-body like most mopar guys do. Anyway, Im never going to restore it or drive it, since i have my dream car now.
I really havent done anything to this car since I bought it except move it from storage to storage, where I probably put on 50 miles maybe. so car is sold as is where is, and shipping is yours to arrange - however I'll help if i can.
What I have done since buying it:
Bought a correct original twin scoop hood, complete with original hood pins and brackets (its on the car now, but have the original hood still)
bought a convertible top boot in white
bought a spare luggage rack, so i could get the missing rail
had the front and back seats refoam and recovered and bought new seat back panels for the front seats. The seats are not installed - but stored in closets to avoid cats scratching them lol
the car came with a new carpet, which is still in the box - I assume its good.
bought a used am/fm radio i was told for e bodies (given the price - i hope it is)
i moved it, i moved it i moved it
Condition:
LOOK AT THE PICS:
for some reason there is a rust piece below rear license plate - never seen that before
trunk floor has two through spots, I believe from water .
SPEEDOMETER states 40k, whether thats 140 or 40 I have noo idea - numbers line up nice though. I AM NOT CERTIFYING the mileage
Other than that - its a very very sold car - dallas car its whole life I was told.
It ran, but last time i started it it would only idle at like 2,000 or not at all - so dirt in carb or vacuum leak maybe
Dash is cracked - like all of them
A/C - all there it seems but doesnt work (it did but someone leaned on the line and cracked it so it all leaked out
car now has a 4 barrel carb and ran strong when i used it - seems to be better than a stock 318
one qtr glass is missing now (from moving around I have NO IDEA where I put it.
a few weeks ago someone put a green convertible on here with all sorts of serious rust and it went for $21,600 - look it up.
I will be losing a LOT of money on this car, since I think i bought it a day before the bubble burst.
It has 14s on front and 15s on back and they are dried out tires
IT NEEDS A CONVERTIBLE TOP - frame is there and its power and still works.
Rocker trim - is different on this car than what Ive seen on them typically.
I would recommend trailering in, since like i said they are old weak brakes and it really should be tuned due to how it idles now. - why wreck it for a few hrs work.
This car is a great find and very rare in this condition - look and decide for yourself. But if you win - it is to BUY AND TAKE it - NOT to come and look at it.
Frame is great, quarters, fenders, doors, firewall, floors etc are great - this is a SOLID car - I bet with a tune up and say put the interior in it and tires and brakes - the basics you should be able to run it as is.
AS IS - WHERE IS - come look at it - you decide,
thanks

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
