I bought one! - 71' Base 318 auto
« on: November 07, 2016 - 07:19:13 PM »
I bought a 1971 Barracuda this past weekend. Finally, a life achievement met! Base model 318 auto vanilla, humble beginnings.  Has paperwork incl. dealership installed A/C. B7 Blue, Bench Seat, I didn't know a 318 can still break loose the rubber with ease, just doesn't have top end overtaking power. Welcome to the fam baby, you're home forever.

Very nice!!!  GB7 is a rare color in 1971, as are the bench seats H4B5.  One cool combo!!

Only 464 of total Barracuda production for 1971 were painted GB7.....very rare indeed  :dogpile:

great combo. looks like a great driver while you restore/refresh it. the interior panels you can now get in molded blue and they are stellar (mine looked a little worse than yours). love the GB7/B5 combo

Good looking car! I would do something different with it and leave it stock.

Welcome!!  Nice looking ride!  My 71 318 is still going strong at 250,000 miles.  No plans to change it.  Have fun!
