This one is in the Sunroof Registry already - here is the tag data and pics of it in its unrestored state. Pretty good looking car now!

By looking at the fender tag we may conclude that the Barracuda has been restored to factory specs! Cool!

Wow...finally....I wanted so bad to buy this car when it was a project, but just couldn't justify the price for a 318 car....I really didn't understand the rarity of the 72 sunroof at that time either, then it disappeared. So glad to see it got a proper restoration.
@bpsmopar this would look great with your white 71 Charger :drooling:

Looks like the N85, A62, tachometer, Rallye cluster was added to the car. Not on the fender tag readout.  :no:

Shouldn't the tail light area be black on 72 cuda?

Too bad it didn't have the V21 option.

It's NOT a "Cuda" it's a Barracuda  :alan2cents:

The picture of the tag that I have is a little tough to read. I went back and double checked the codes and what I thought was M88 is actually N85 for the tach. The A62 code for the Rallye Dash was discontinued for 1972. So if you wanted it, you would order J97 Rallye Instrument Panel - which unfortunately does not show up on the tag - but is on this car's buildsheet. With the Rallye Instrument Panel in 1972 - you got the Tach, Clock, Variable speed wipers, Oil pressure guage, Trip odometer, and the 150 speedo. You could only order the Rallye Instrument Panel on V8 cars - no Slantys allowed. So it looks like the tag and build sheet check out. Hope this helps!
