WIW? 1969 Barracuda Fastback
I guess for me the questions
1) IS there a 340 in the car? what year and what heads. pure value standpoint as 340's are not cheap or plentiful.
2) Does it have an 8 3/4 rear?
3) It is black - look at it from different angles is it straight and worthy of black?Poor body work will really stand out?
They are doing repop grilles for 69 now so I think the pricing will adjust to somewhat-affordable and available in the future for drivers. If the body is good to excellent consider what it would cost you to duplicate if you can not do yourself. bodywork/ paint can run into the thousands between 3 to 10 probably on average depending on what your starting with. then factor in time 6 months to a year without a car.
most importantly are you buying to flip or finish and keep?
WIW - it is worth what your willing to pay for it. consider the factors, also look at fleabay etc and see what they are selling for....
