Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
While I was working on that cross-member a guy from Columbus, Ne pulled up in a nice '69 Camaro. He'd noticed the cars here a long time ago and said he likes to drive by to see what's new in the driveway.
Despite the fact he's been a Chebby guy he's well aware of the value the old Chargers have and he bought one a few months ago himself. He showed me the pics on his phone. It's a '70 Charger 500 with a 383, column shift torqueflite. I guess the car was sitting inside for the last 20 years and is almost perfectly rust free and the interior is near perfect. The biggest flaw it had was that someone had run fenderwell headers and chopped up the engine bay for clearance.
- Get this. He only gave $2300 for the car! After seeing the pics I'd say he could easily quadruple his money and whoever he'd sell it to would still be getting a bargain. His plan is to keep and restore it. Maybe we've converted another one of them Chebby boys over to the dark side.
