That looks really good! I prefer the rallye wheels myself, I think the yellow with black roof and M46 package is a killer combo, is that what your car is coded for?   :droolingbounce:

Yes that is all of the codes for my car for sure.  The only things I am changing is the hockey strip and Rallye hood and some chrome for a Cuda and wheel lip moldings.  Other wise it is coded M46 and the Black top.   I love the way it looks and withe te changes that I am adding is what my dream car I want it to be.    :woohoo:    :2thumbs:

I talked to the guy some last night.  He is going to send me more info on it.  His name is Lee Pickett and his numbers are 432-631-1941 or 512-757-3888.  I do not have pictures or anything but he was asking 30K for it and said it was in good shape.   That is all the info I have right now.  He said he would send me more info also about it.  Gordon

I looked at the link and that is basically what I told the guy for sure.  Just wanted to put it out there if someone had that big of a dream.  It was not for me.   Would like to find another one or something simular to do another car after I get back also.

That's great info.  I sure like to see a list compiled like that.
Puts some validity to some of the claims out there and destroys some of the opinions out there also.
Did you include the one that is a goner on the list or do you only include cars that are together?

Do you include ones that are out there for sale like the one on ebay just recently?

That list includes every M46 Barracuda I have ever heard of.

At least four of those are gone for good.  :walkaway:

Al, I have not checked each one for transmission style.

Kenny,
If I could go back & order one, I would get a A93 M46 198 /6 car with a three speed on the floor. Colors would be a tough choice, Two tone? Mod top? Gator top? So many choices....
