Hi guys,
May as well throw my hat in the ring with my request.
I have a budget of $16K
Looking for a ’70 – ’74 Cuda (Barracuda too) I’m actually partial to the ‘72+ tails.
I’m looking for a driver (weekends, etc.) not a project…
I am not a body guy, but can work on engines, electrical, general mechanical, etc. so I might be willing to take on a rolling body that only needs power. In that case I’d buy an engine and plug it in
I’m currently limited on garage space so engine rebuilds would be tough.
Prefer a 360 and up… but won’t turn down a solid 340.
Manual tranny preferred, but not required.
Cuda trim… Rally dash, etc. Not a show stopper.
Does not need to be numbers matching car… blah blah blah… this car is for fun and frolic.
Rally hood (etc.) with working insert/inlet (not sure how much it would cost to replace a straight hood… again if the price is right)
Needs no or very little body work. I’m all thumbs in this area.
Does not need to be painted… I can get that done…
I’m really just looking for something that runs and sounds like a cuda… something I’ll keep and eventually be buried in. heh!
I’m in So. California and willing to fly out to take a look if things look interesting.
There are a few cars in this range on eBay, but I’m a little uncomfortable with buying in that format. Would really like to have time to know what I’m buying.
Am I off the mark with that budget?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Alan
