I saw that listed as well. It seems like a decent price for a 71 project, but it's really hard to tell what you're buying as far as quality of the repair work that has already been done. If you've never taken on a project of this magnitude it could become a little daunting with missing or incorrect parts etc...etc...etc...

If the $18k is CDN and the body work doesn't have to be redone it is a good deal IMO. I wouldn't buy it without looking at it carefully in person. I expect it had quarter skins put on it, if it was full quarters, much better IMO.

Welcome @EBODYBEAR Ya what sheldon said was correct. Look closely at the under side!  :cheers:

It is very hard to acquire a 71 Barracuda for less money. The only sucky think is it's probably missing a ton of stuff which can get pricey to replace but if it is rust free and straight, I don't see better deals very often.

Is it just the shadows making the body line on the left rear quarter different along its length? Hard for me to tell. Hopefully, most of the parts are there.

 :iagree:It looks like the front as well as the rear wonders and flattens out! has to be seen in person. @EBODYBEAR  find out the VIN, if a Fender tag and build sheet exists. does it have front sheet metal. If the VIN tag, vent cowl, rad support and door sticker are present and match.  :bigthumb:

Looks like its missing and/or needs a TON of new parts and that is going to cost a fortune.  71's are hard to find for a fair price so you might be onto something.
