Neglected MoPar

[SteveO]

Several years ago I noticed a barracuda sitting in front of a house about 4 blocks from where I live.
The car never moves from it's spot.
Looks like it's in nice condition, good body, four tires, faded paint, no broken windows. Perhaps a '68 model year.

Everytime I drive by, I always glace down the street to see If there is anyone out in the yard I could talk to.

Last month I finally spotted two guys outside near the car so flipped a U and drove up in front of the house struck up a conversation " Who owns the MoPar"? I asked.

I talked with the owner for a few minutes.  He told me his plans for getting it road worthy once again "someday". He said he just doesn't have the money now to do anything.

Then the lady of the house came out.
Do you want to buy this car? She yelled out.

I quickly found out who held the purse strings here.

I kind of felt sorry for the guy. She's ready to sell this car out from underneath him. No wonder there's  no money to do anything with it.

If you can find out any options and snap a pic or 2 of it... we could tell ya what year and what it might be worth... If it's got no side markers, it's a '67 or earlier, round side markers are a '68 and rectangle side markers are a '69...

Keep us updated!!

I use to have one of those
This on is a '69
Like LB said, the square side markers give it away but
from the back the large aluminum trim is also '69 only
I like the way '68s look better.
Had one of those too
and a '67
and a '70
and a '72
and 2 '73's
and 3 '74's
Like '74s the most

Yep... that's a '69 alright... personally, I like the notchback 'Cudas better...   any body have any idea why this thread was locked out last night? I was going to reply to it then...

notchbacks are cool too
I know where one is sitting right now
primer gray no rust
In the worst part of town and I would ask about it
but I don't speak spanish

[lemonboy69]

Honestly SteveO... I'd offer the guy $2500-3000 for the car, then you can sell me those Indy slots!!

360Cuda,  try this:  point to the car and say, "Cuantos dollares es este coche?"  Then just wait for some numbers like dos mil or tres mil....That means $2,000 and $3,000.      

[SteveO]

Snowy in Seattle.....

I'll find out more about the car next time I see the owner.

So you think it's worth $2000-3000.

Maybe If I negotiate with the owners wife, I may get it for $200 or 300 bucks!

She is eager to sell

There ya go!!!!  The women of the house "generally" want "those rust buckets" removed from their garages and backyards....Even though I'm not old enough to be married, my mother does a good job of telling me to get my car out of her garage space....O well.
