[SOLD] 1964 Barracuda 4 Spd

[abuong01]

1964 Barracuda - 273 C.I. 4 speed on the floor. Complete restoration finished April 2017. Car is all original other than the interior which is brand new (purchased from Dante's Mopar) along with the paint which has a clear coat (not single stage as from the factory)
Purchased in 2013 with hopes of restoring and driving. Third shop repaired mistakes done by the first two including stripping paint to the bare metal to remove hidden rust and prior paint job.
Love the car but since 2013 have purchased 5 others cars and no room for this old timer. More photos and receipts available upon request. Car is located in Montgomery County PA (Telford) and can be seen and driven evenings or weekends.
Leland West assigned guaranteed insurance value of $21k -- asking $18k and for a good home.

Am I correct in reading that the VIN starts with V4 ?

Am I correct in reading that the VIN starts with V4 ?

Yes...V44... Numbers stamped on the owners manual and window/door tags are V44xxx

Is there a significance to this sequence?

The 4 I believe signifies the highest price class. V442 = V8, premium price class, 1964, hamtramck.

Yes...V44... Numbers stamped on the owners manual and window/door tags are V44xxx

Is there a significance to this sequence?

Yes the 4 means it started life as a /6

 

[abuong01]

Yes the 4 means it started life as a /6

The leading V stands for V8. A slant 6 would have a 1 before the 44

V442 is V8, 4 is valiant signet barracuda, next 4 is the year (64) and the 2 is Detroit (hamtramck) factory

This was B&W run a v8 and remains a V8

The first (V) is Valiant/Barracuda-v8. The second (4) is model (Barracuda). the 3rd. (4) is the year, and the 4th is (2) built in Hamtramck. The last 6 are the sequence numbers.

Thanks for verifying - made me nervous and question my knowledge on the car for a few minutes.

Pass along to anyone looking for a REALLY NICE 64 barracuda. Granddaddy of the pony cars
