70 barnyard find barracuda.... exhumed the body today
« on: September 23, 2007 - 12:50:53 AM »
Hi guys and gals.

Been awhile since i was here but thought i should share my 70 barracuda with you today.  About 3 years ago i posted about this car... http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=7409.0  and now i finally made time to go get it. Here are the pictures from today.  A local Charger guy and i went to my home town and exhumed the body from its grave on an abandoned farm.

1970 barracuda, 318, floor shift auto.  Not much left but its a kick-ass color and i couldn't stand to see it sit anymore so i had to save it, or get it out for someone else to save.  Anyways, here are the pictures if you dont surf moparts..

Since it's green, I think you should nickname it "Frankenstein". Would be great to see you (or someone) bring it back to life.

WOW, that is a little ruff.  If you can save that one, you are a lot more determined than I would be.   :2thumbs:

Roll up your sleeves and start the welding on her.
Looks rough, but with $$ and patience it will be on the road again  :thumbsup:

I think it could be fixed, and its worth looking into. They make almost every piece of these cars now. Price every body panel that is out there, and all 4 frame ext. and see what it will cost. If you do the work yourself, you will save a ton.

Pretty rough but it`s a `70 in a cool color and with all the sheet metal and parts avaialbe it`s still do-able.If you decide to sell it let me know-I may be interested.
