65-69( a body ) barracuda's are built on a different platform than 70-74 models (e body).
If you love the 71, you can get yourself into a 72-74 much easier and cheaper than a 71.
72-74 have the same body as a 70-71, just different grills, lights, exterior trim,etc.
I held money for 6 or 7 years looking for a decently priced 71 and finally went ahead and purchased a 73. Loved the car.
Eventually I found a 71. But I spent all that eventually driving the exact same car with a different grill.
My first cuda in 2005.
