It's amazing how many people want to buy my car.  I know they would just clone it to a 71 Hemi cuda convert. and make a killing on it.  I would have to kick my own ass if I sold it to make money.  I have more blood, sweat and tears in that car than anyone could ever have.  My kid's, kid's kid's will enjoy this car!  :thumbsup:

I sold two Barracuda convertibles,and that happened to me on both cars,and the guys who flipped them complained to me!!!!! I had a 71 Barracuda convert,it was a slant six car,I put a 71 HP  383 in the car,a shaker hood,rallye dash,15 inch rallyes,and dualexhaust,with the dual pan,and tips. A guy came to see a parts car I had,and when he saw my Cuda in the garage,he had to have it for his wife. My friend was with me,and when I told him it was not for sale,my friend said how much will you give him for it,and when the guy said nine grand ,my friend talked me into selling it.Two weeks later another guy told me he flipped the car,and made 6 grand on me,and told the guy what a dope I was! Nine grand seemed like a lot of money for a slant six car in 1996! The clones weren't bringing the cash they are today! He had the stones to call me,and I asked him how his wifes car was doing,and he complained about the car,and he said he dumped it! He was acting like he got beat on the car! I said hey buddy you made six grand on me,he said I got to go! He didn't think I knew he flipped it! The second Barracuda convert was a Basket case it need a lot of rust repair.It was a tripple black 318 car,that was missing most of its convertible parts. I had rounded up a lot of the missing parts,and had most of the parts to repair the rust. I sold the car to a guy in New York for $6,500,and delivered it 4 hours away to his door. He flipped it on E bay for $13,500,and called me up to see if I had anything else he could flip! I told him I saw the car on E bay,he started complaining about the car! I said you doubled your money how bad could it have been for you! He just went on complaining about the car! I told him I don't have anymore for sale,you made enough off me!
