$50k will buy you a really nice Cuda these days. In fact you could get a very nice U code or even a V code. Don't pay any where near $50k for a BH code barracuda. Pm me if you help or have questions.

Here's a candidate with No Reserve.  You can ask anyone who lives near this car's location (Eastern WA.) to inspect it.  Looks like a slight crease on the right qtr panel but everything else looks ok.  Another restomod with several videos.

I saw that one, looks nice in the ad. What's some opinions here?

BH is a Barracuda and a BS is a Cuda, and BP is a Gran Coupe? Not familiar with a Gran Coupe, what is the difference?

With all that they put into the car and the ad they say "needs fine tuning, hasnt been run in awhile". You'd think they would tune it before advertising it? 

If anyone lives near that car and has looked at it just out of curiosity, please PM me, it's what I'm looking for but I hate buying something sight unseen.   

Thanks, Mark

The Gran Coupe is the step up luxury version of the "BH" model.  According to my 1970 sales brochure, its "Our luxury/sports/personal car."  Has leather seats, roof mounted consolette, and wire wheel covers.  So it does not matter if you get a BS, BH, or BP, the body is the same.  The consolette had Low fuel, Seat belt, and door ajar warning lights.  Kind of like the Challenger SE model.  You can email or call the seller for more info.  At least this vin is clear in the Registry.  I see the Liberty lake location is a small town and hope you find someone to look at it. 
Or I used this service (link below) when I looked at a Challenger in Georgia.  The inspector they sent took a lot of photos and wrote up a good report with good and bad things.  I was going to buy this Challenger but the seller sold it to someone else.  It is worth it for the money, cannot remember what I paid, but somewhere around $300.  See the sample report. If you can get this under your budget, you can tune it very easily (whatever tune means to this seller).  He lists a ph#, vin, videos, looks good.  If for some reason you bid and win, ask the seller if you can inspect before pickup.  If inspection is satisfactory to you, you will buy, if not sell to second highest bidder.  You can also read his feedback.  Keep us posted.

Here is one source for production #s.  Gran Coupes were much smaller in #s compared to other coupes.
