1969 Barracuda 440 M-Code Project Car

Re: My M-Code Car

I had no idea of the controversy I would create by putting up for sale one of Ma Mopar's finest examples of a true muscle car. I am simply amazed at the low level FABO has sunk to by allowing the gentleman known as 1968FormulaS340 to drop the F Bomb without an official strong reprimand from one of the moderators. I do not have a history and have not had dealings with him in past.

I believe strongly that it is our right as Americans to freely express our opinions. However the use of foul language as in being told to Go F*** Yourself is not an opinion, it is a personal attack that is unexcusable and unwarranted. If this kind of posting is allowed to continue, FABO will soon sink to a level where it is useless to those of us who love our A-Body cars.

As to the price of the car: This car is not your average A-Body that has a basic market value based on recent known sales figures. I struggled somewhat when coming up with an asking price based on the rarity of the car and its future potential. I have restored enough cars to have a very clear idea of the cost involved to restore it properly. The car is meant for someone with far deeper pockets than my own and is willing to spend as much or more than the car will be worth when finished because that is most likely what it is going to happen.

Is the car worth $14,500.00? Probably not. As with any sale, I am open to genuine offers, however 8K to 10K is not going to get you the car. I am not trying to price gouge anyone, but rather to simply get the maximum market value as do the rest of the FABO members when they sell items here

Title Issue: Apparently I am missing the big deal here. I have gone through the process of getting a title before, as have many members I am sure. This kind of thing will happen with cars of this age and that's why there are companies making a profit from handling this kind of situation. The car is not stolen, the previous owner last registered it in 1988 and had lost the paper work over the years. Up here in the frozen tundra where I live, their is swift and sure frontier style justice for those who sell cars they don't own.

Lastly, I apologize if I have offended anyone for any reason.
