1970 cuda or barracuda?
« on: February 23, 2008 - 10:42:47 PM »
We are looking at a 1970 Barracuda we believe... it has a 440 and rallye hood, but barracuda script emblems, and black tape stripe. We do not think it is a Cuda. The car is said to be rust free and has been in storage for 20 years. lets say the car is not original and needs a freshening up.... what do you all think she could bring?

Is it a bs vin or a bh vin code?  Rust free it's worth quite a bit either way :2thumbs:

As Spock would say "Insufficient data!"  :roflsmiley:

Is it a big block car, or was the 440 put in? IF it is a big block car, is it numbers matching? What options does it have? You could be looking at a pretty wide swing in value depending on just these couple of things alone.

this thread interests me,

I recently found out a co-worker's neighbor has a 1970 - 71 Challenger with a 440 in it.

my guess is numbers are matching since the guy bought it new when he worked at the local Chrysler plant back in the 70s.

Doesn't run, sitting in a backyard in the city rusting away.
