everyone has their own opinion as to what 67-69 barracudas "are worth" these days. and naturally, if you're trying to sell one, you want to get as much money as possible. the following link is to Sonefs collector car sales in denver colorada. it's owned by jeff sonef and i've talked to him a couple of times on the phone. he specializes in mopars. right now he has some very good prices on barracudas. i'm not trying to promote his business, but i do look at his web site often just to check "market values." i would urge you to look at the cars and his prices right now. he has a 69 340 fastback right now that he's asking $12k for - and it is a VERY decent driver that could be made very correct with not too much money.

like i said, i don't have any "dog in the fight" with sonefs - but they do sell barracudas pretty close to market values.

so what the hell does that mean? sounds like a polished turd to me..

have you seen this car in person? i hardly consider what a dealer says or advertises for (especially me not seeing the car in person) as a bar for what certain cars are worth today..
 
Did the Formula S package in '69 come with a front sway bar? I like the car, there looks to be a big rust spot painted over on the driver's rocker below the cowl side. No panel alignment, and looks like some chipping on that recent paint job. So I've got reservations there. But otherwise it looks like a driver car. I wouldn't pay the asking though.
 
The market on any classic car we as consumers buy is completely up to us as buyers. If we the buyer thinks the price for any car is fair and is willing to pay said price for it then that's the market. But also if we think the price is to high and they won't negotiate the price down then walk away from it that also is the market for them. Not everyone is a zillionaire and can stupid money for cars so you have your own judgement in buying anything. Everyone has they're own opinion on this subject and most agree that they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them!
 
Bring one of those flimsy flexible refridgerator magnets when looking at "rust free" cars. It won't stick to the slightest bit of bondo and they can mold to the contours of panels and they don't scratch.
 
Must be tough to try to make a living building and selling those cars. Buyers willing to part with $20K for a car like that are gone like democrats hopes and dreams--------------------
 
it's like the gold market, supply and demand set the tone. The market is not set by asking prices, it's set by selling prices. You can sanitize a piece of poop, but it doesn't mean it's clean. And, different parts of the country bring different prices also. Remember, car availability is different from area's of the country. And the amount of average income is different all across the country.

Agreed, but this guy has quite an unsold inventory-----------------Just sayin in todays economy with the shift in wealth away from the working man and to the top, that kind of disposable income is hard to come by. The high-income boomers have it though and they can afford the cars but everyone wants a camero or a mustang--------------------eh-------------------:)
 
The faded seats with the bright red outlines of the seat belts along with the cracked dash pad and cracked steering wheel attest to the vehicle sitting outside for a very long time. I would suspect any upholstery threads are very weak due to heat and sun damage. The rattle can rebuild of the suspension was not done to exacting specifications (sarcasm).

Shouldn't the Formula S have rocker moldings? If it's clean... my cheap *** would give 8000

That doesn't really tell you much. Every nice car is going to have some body filler in it, in one form or another.
 
True,but if there is only bondo in one sport but sticks all the way around it you know what your looking at

Sold my 2002 BMW 540i to get the car I have been after for a quarter century.

Drove up to Oregon, bought it and drove it back.

I paid $5055 for my driver '68 fastback. Plus gas from Napa CA to Eugene OR, mini-market snacks, dinner, hotel, breakfast, gas for the barracuda, more gas for the girlfriend's lawnmower... Uh I mean honda. A new battery, registration in Commiefornia, more gas, snacks, a quart of oil, beer, ice cream in Hotter-than-the-hinges-of-HELL Redding, and some more gas.

Figure $5700 +/- including the mini-vacation for a good condition driver with a 126,000 mile 318/a904, 7 1/4 2.73 car. ;)

Give me a few minutes and I'll find some pics.
