Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

I have a buddy down in Arizona that is thinking about buying a '73 Challenger. It's a one owner 318 slapstick car with around 70,000 miles on it. The lady that owns it told him that she wants to get the money for it that she paid when she bought it new. $3500. He said the interior is baked and there's some rust started next to the rear window where the vinyl top is.

I never liked the grill design on the '73s but still... It may not be the holy grail but that's got to be a heck of a good price. Those deals are still out there but they're hard to find. I need another project like a hole in the head but I'd have a hard time passing up that first gen Challenger.

Now and then I'll still see a classic Mopar musclecar being sent off to be destroyed. Usually it's someone cleaning out an acreage that had a bunch of cars parked in the trees. As a lot of the small farms are bought up by the big farmers they'll clear everything off the property that had remained. 20 years ago there was a heck of a lot more vintage tin lurking in those old homesteads.
