    I finally landed a "fish" - Updated with pictures, page 1

     :bananasmi  :jumping:  :bananasmi  :jumping:  :bananasmi  :cheers:

    A 1970 Barracuda to be exact, I am going to pick her (yes, a her, the current owner calls her Cleo) up tomorrow.
    She's very complete and is all numbers matching, 318, consol automatic, K2 (Vitamin C Orange) with one repaint, white interior, and manual brakes.  She has some rust in the passenger side quarter panel (minor), front and rear window frames (minor), rear Dutchman panel (has the most rust) as she had a vinyl top, and some rust in the trunk.  She has been “somewhat” taken apart for restoration, mostly interior removed and the rear tail lights and some trim parts.


    I know! I know!

     :useless:

    I will post some tomorrow, once I get her home.

    I am SOOOOOOOO Excited right now!  :crazy:  :crazy:
     
    How the He77 am I going to sleep tonight.  :dunno:

    Congratulations....It's always a great day when you buy an e-body. We have seven and we're still looking for more.

    We have a big family and they all want to inherit a Cuda when we die.  :dogpile:

    Good job but it sounds like someone had been holding out on us  :grinyes:

    Is this something you have been working on getting or was it just a quick Ebay or Craigslist find??

    $$?

    Yes, it was quick.

    Saw it on Craigslist Friday, went and saw it on Saturday and picked it up today.

    Someone in Canada really wanted it and even offered her more $$$ for it.  However, the owner really wanted me to have her.

    Loading it on he trailer resulted in a minor mishap.  Got it to close to the trailer fender and put a dent in it.  :bricks1:
