'72 barracuda project
« on: March 12, 2006 - 10:14:49 AM »
Ok, bought this car last year around this time.  I started by stripping everything off of it except the glass, and cut out all the rust, and put it on a rotisserie.  That is as far as I got.  I had to pull another project out of storage, and ended up starting on that.  Now the barracuda has to get out and I don't have time for it right now.

Anyway, the car needs a trunk pan, trunk extensions, quarter skins, outer edges of the outer wheelhouse, an easy patch to the lower lip of the tail panel, patches around the trunk lip, a drivers front inner fender, an extension peice between the tail panel and the quarter, and a patch around the hinge mount on the pass front inner fender.  Everything else, firewall, roof, floors, rockers, etc. looks extremely solid.

I have new replacement trunk pans, extensions, outer wheelhouses, quarter skins, that have been rough trimmed to fit, and the drivers front inner fender.  I also have pieces to fix the trunk edge from another car.

I have probably 95-98% of the rest of the parts to complete the car.  It was missing a couple small items, like the washer fluid bottle, and I mangled a few parts removing them, like the brake cables, mostly stuff you would replace anyway.  Also, the torsion bars are no longer.

It was a 318 auto car.  I have the stock auto, and a 360 out of a truck that will go with it.  It had a 318 out of a coronet in it when I bought it, and I had it completely rebuilt w/ a truck cam for a jeep, although it's still on it's stand.  I may consider selling the 318 with or seperate.  8-3/4 rear, not sure on gears.  Non power disks, with an SSBC non power disk kit.  Power steering, Non A/C.  Console and buckets.

It is a great car to restore/ do a restomod on, which was my plan.  When I bought it I thought I'd be able to drive it while I restored it, but my nature is to do it right all right away so that didn't happen and now I don't have the time anymore.

Here is what I have into it:  $5700 for the car, like $200 for the title service, about $800 for the replacement sheetmetal, and around $350 for the steel to build the rotisserie.

I don't know what it is worth in the condition it's in (at least you know it's exact condition, nothing is hidden), but I'll probably hang on to it if I can't get within a decent amount of what I have into it. 

If anyone is truly interested I can answer all questions as best I can, and get pictures.  Make an offer.

It is located in the U.P. of Michigan.  About 2hrs from green bay, wi and 2hrs from the mackinac bridge.

Shame you started cutting it up!  It's going to be hard selling a car that is already tore apart & hacked on.   :2cents: :pullinghair:

Ya I think so also. 5000.00 for a cut up car and needing a lot of sheetmetal work. IF u didn't cut it up then maybe. OR u could get more if u put the quarters on and do some of the patching. but now the way it sits. I don't know. It is an E-body though and they are needing cars.  Good luck on everything, hope it sells.
