Opinions on this '68 Barracuda

My 2 cents- 68 body with 67 parts, Dart seats, bought recently and not driven much= do not commit until you climb all over it. Just because someone said the 360 was rebuilt means nothing without reciepts. If I wanted a notch and this was a possible based on the limited info you've posted $5k with no documentation of what's been done, $6500 if it's all true. There will be other 68's coming along. Buy with your head not your heart. I have a dead 84 rampage in the driveway because I trusted the pr!ck in Montana's word. Once it's yours, it's yours. Hope it works out for you.

I agree. That thing is a hodge podge of parts.

So this guy buys it as is and how long has he had it. I'd interject random questions about how long he has had it and why he is selling it. See if his story stays straight. Bringing a friend to listen and observe is helpful.

It seems like a car tossed together. I hope you are real familar with A-bodies and the parts. Do not assume the engine is rebuilt (it 2nd hand info now anyways). Or if it was rebuilt correctly or rebuilt and messed up.

I'd look it as a bunch of parts roughly bolted together. You need to and be capable of going through the whole car to detox it: goofy wiring, bad tune, parts barely hanging on, parts installed incorrectly....

$4K to $6K car.

IMO No way for $7500! The car is way too much of a mix-match for me. Then there's the former race car history. Race cars get abused & pushed to the limits. Most get built for less than the abuse they take. Former "racecars" (oops I spelled that backwards again) don't make good street cars. It looks like a single stage paint job on it & the hood is blue. Given the fact that the current owner seems to know (or devulge) very little about it & hasn't owned it very long I smell a flipper! Save your $$ & keep looking! As moparbob71.2 already advised, "Buy with your head not your heart!"

Or car is a mess and he is over his head.
