May purchase 65 Barracuda

I've also been trying to assess the value. I was surprised to see from a few sources that they seem to be in the low/mid $20K range if pretty nice. I have no idea if they are in much demand.
I'm actually talking to the owner on a trade, mine is probably worth a little more but the Barracuda looks like a fun car with the 4 speed. I don't think I would be interested if it were auto.
He's been out of town and I'm going by pictures right now.

It would have to be better than "real nice" to fetch that. More like concours restoration, or low mileage excellent original. They can bring good money, but not "that good". That's more like unrealistic Barrett Jackson prices that are all probably a setup anyway.
