I've been trying like mad to get the tag detail on the 70 barracuda.
It has blacked out bottom, so I have some interest of course.

I'll let you all know if I get any info on any of the cars.
He has contacted me a few times and said he would be glad to work with me.

And I know, RRRRUUUUSSSSTTTTTYYYYYY crap

And I know, 80,000 into a car to have a 35,000 car,  I know, it's all crap.

The last one he has listed as a "gold 71 Cuda" is not a 71....I would guess 74 or 74.

Exactly, Bh codes. 
What I am after, only comes on a bh code 70.
I'm in even with that amount of rust if it has the right code.  Ridiculous, I know. 
But I really like yard art!

I will try to remember to take some pictures of my yard art. 
The next time I have a daylight hour will be Sunday, so maybe then.  :cheers:

What is the determining factor?  I can't tell the difference.
Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough.

Josh:  I don't think that the car is what you think it might be.  There would be three precast holes from the factory in the rear of each quarter panel for the aluminum trim, and there are not.  Also the black on the tail panel would extend up to where those trim pieces would be, and it doesn't.  There would also be three precast holes in the tail panel by the trunk lock for the script word, Barracuda.  Again there is not.

The pin stripe is also not present.
So, the blacked out bottom is not original. Or  at least repainted to cover the pin stripe?
Also the car has a hockey stripe.
I suppose that is possible on a barracuda, but haven't seen it.
Would be cool to have the hockey stick with a blacked out bottom.

If it was repainted once, the blackout's would be different most likely anyway. As well as  having the badges shaved.

I really don't think that it is what I am always looking for, but I have to pursue it anyway.
