Unless you really like that particular car, 72 with a 318, I would pass. I don't know how much about the work that needs to be done, but think of the time and $$$ invested into it. Then think what you might be able to buy with that money that may not ned as much work. It's true the E-bodies are going up in value but you might want to look around a little more just to get some more info on other Barracudas out there before you plunk down the $$$. Who knows, the seller might have an overinflated idea of the value of his car and it might not be reasonable for that price.
