I believe this car has been for sale for a little while. If it is the same one, his asking price was $90k. Looks like a good one.

Here's an almost identical one I found except it's a 383 RT instead of a 440 RT that sold in the last 6 months. The comments below from the dealer say they sold it for $89,995.

After looking at the pictures, this car is super nice and pleasing to the eye also, for a reasonably quick flick (economy providing) stick with the $80K i first quoted, but at the ecenomic rates at the moment i would say it is a $100K car the way it sits, and would be a good car to put away for investment sake. :2thumbs:

He is thinking about what he's going to do with it. I've considered buying it myself but it probably won't happen. It will be for sale soon I believe. If you're interested pm me and we can discuss and I can get you in touch with him. I'd rather not post a price until I speak with him more about it.

I noticed it had air conditioning which a lot of big engines didn't have because they burned up under hard driving.  There appears to be a power top and a very nice vintage radio.  I am surprised they didn't have the power windows with the other power options.  Most people added everything or left it off to save on weight.  Nice looking vert from the pictures but it would be nice to have pictures of the rust areas to see how well the cars aged.

The first thing I would do is put a white stripe on! The black just doesn't contrast well enough with the burnt orange IMO. Now this really does it for me!

The car was restored there are no rust areas.

The pictures i have seen of this car speaks volumes, this car is immaculate and a real investment grade vehicle. I would love to own this one myself. :2thumbs:

Hey crocha617 any new information on the car. Is your friend going to sell it and what is he asking for it?  Just curious.

He will be asking around $69k which I think is very reasonable for the car.  It should sell fast at that price & I have been going back and forth on this one but I think I'm going to hold onto my Barracuda Vert and continue working on it. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM and I will get you in touch with him. The car is sitting 1 mile from me so if anyone needs any assistance making the deal or help with the shipping arrangements etc.. I am very close to the car & I know the seller very well.
