Boy ,that won't last long ! Great deal if it is rust free!

[moparclown]

It looks to be an M46 car?

[dutch]

  wonder if it had scoops from factory.   

[miketyler]

yup, thats what I thought. Actually, he has it listed twice under "barracuda" also.  This listing has more pics. Underhood and inside look very straight to me. Dash pad looks perfect.

That's a steal at that price. Almost worth buying to resell in a few years! If that was a 71 I'd really be in the "dog house"

[Moparal]

Wish he would post the fender tag.  He does know something about M46 cars the way he words it.  I wonder if that 22 inch radiator is original, and the road wheel. 

Biggest question is original color and what color pin stripe .  It has the quarter trim chrome, gray grill. But the car has been built his way to.

[miketyler]

wouldnt the 22" be correct for non AC 318". Looks like a few things are changed the breather or at least the lid was for a 340.

[Moparal]

Yeah, there's a lot changed on the car. I did copy the pic of the fender tag, but it is blurry when I zoom in on it.  The rad isnt original. No numbers on it and the lower hose is looped around to the other side

[brads70]

Buy it Alan!!
You could clean it up and double your money in a couple of years! Better return than the stock market!

[Moparal]

I dont have the money to buy it     Notice the breather for the 4 barrel turned backward?  I wonder if that is to try to get air from the windshield. The hood is painted black underneath isnt it?

I would sure like to get the read out on the fender tag.   I think someone will chime in knowing something about this car.

[miketyler]

Yes, didnt notice it til you mentioned the breather being turned around, Maybe becuase valve covers got swapped and breather port is on drivers side?

I emailed him when it first appeared. There is a 68 fastback mustang in the background I was curious about. he was quick to respond. I can look at this car for anyone interested. It looks to be parked in downtown Dallas near where I work

I like the seat covers! 

[4Cruizn]

Whats wrong with the drivers side door handle??  Looks like some of it is missing?? 

[Moparal]

Yeah I saw the broken handle to. The car sits high up front. No swaybar in front either. Still looks like a nice driver to restore or drive as is.
