Hi,
I'm looking for an early Barracuda project with a 273 V8 and a manual 'box. I thought I'd found one so I hired a car and drove four hours to look at it yesterday after being told it's a manual, but it turned out to be an auto.
Budget is $2000-$2500. I've spent the last few months watching what these sell for in reasonable project condition. Craigslist in the west of the country is awash with early Barracuda's that aren't selling. Sadly for me they're all either rusted wrecks, automatics or Slant-6's.
This guy sold two of them (a V8 and a Slant-6) for $2785: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161159323046?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
This is the one I went to look at yesterday (he dropped the price to $1800, then put it back up after my initial phone call): http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/4234096806.html
There's one for sale here in Las Vegas but it has no gearbox, there appear to be other missing pieces and the only engine is a special built 318 (not in the car) that cost $4000 to build. After months it remains unsold.
Finally, this one sounds like exactly what I'm after (barring the auto 'box) and it was up for $1500: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=242359
In short, I'm basing my budget on what I'm seeing them selling for.
I'm cool with knackered paint/interior or non-running cars. I'll give honest consideration to anything. I'm looking for something with the idea of taking it wherever I go in the world.
All responses to PM please.
