70 Cuda

[YYZ]

Cowl of the Barracuda before stripping...

Poopy, tarred, full of holes and a crummy prior repair

[YYZ]

Same area on the Challenger before stripping...

Original paint, no obvious holes/repairs etc.

And a comparison of the driver's side door pillars on the Barracuda vs. Challenger

Even before stripping, the Barracuda one is cracked and collapsing on itself.  The Challenger one, while pinholed, is still in better shape after stripping.  At least there'd be something to weld a patch to.

Ultimately, the Barracuda will need as much, if not more metal replaced than the Challenger.

Six in one, half dozen in the other...

[YYZ]

Yep.

$15K is awfully expensive for a set of 318 'vert tags and only part of the convertible specific stuff to re-skin a hardtop.....

[anlauto]

Yea, but when you throw enough money at it....

[YYZ]

True, but that yellow tub ain't a #s matching, 340 4-speed shaker car either....

That's the only reason the yellow one is still sitting there. Whoever buys it is guaranteed to lose at least $20k on it in the end. This one will eventually go to someone desperate for a convertible that doesn't know any better.

Alan, did Max do the tin work on that Swiss cheese? Ian

No Max does not do any metal work. All the metal work was performed by Keith Sim. Max didn't have anything to do with this particular car.
