Found a 74 Barracuda
« on: February 10, 2022 - 03:38:24 PM »
I found a 74 Barracuda that a friend of a friend of a friend kind of deal offered to me. Man, not much out there to compare to. What's a 74' project car worth? I am supposed to go look at it this weekend. Story goes. Now has mild built 383 with 284/484 cam, has built trans, runs and drives but has been sitting for many years and many extra parts. It was parked next to a house that caught on fire. The car was not in the fire, but the heat off of the house has cooked and melted everything plastic related on the driver side.

Wow, that's a project car all right! It's kinda like how far is up? So, it's got the wrong engine, has been sitting for years and has one side roast/melted eh? It really depends on what condition the rest of it is in in my opinion. Finished, original #'s cars of that vintage I've seen in the 30's done and looking good, but every car is different. Do the math as to what it'd cost to restore the thing and deduct that from the price of a "done" car. Without seeing it, a wild a$$ guess would be $3-5000?

I can't really argue with the man. As you said, the pickin's are thin, but your wallet or abilities need to be up to the challenge should you go for it.  :cheers:
