If a U code prefer 1970 but am open to 1971.

I have been to look at 4 cars recently and all were reported to have limited to no rust and all were rusty. No rusty cars. Original, one repaint is fine. No trailer queens. I like to drive my cars. Original drive train and docs are preferred.
I just restored my 69 Charger RT and don't have time to do another resto.

Thank you

Good luck finding the right car.  How about some 69 charger photos?   I heard that year costs a fortune to restore.

good luck with your search, ..... but there are no U-code E-bodies for 1971

They offered a 440+6 but not a 440--I wonder what the reasoning was behind that--poor sales ?

From the Plymouth Barracuda Wikipedia...

The 1971 Barracuda engine options would remain the same as that of the 1970 model, except that the 340 6-Bbl was gone, and the four-barrel carbureted 440 V8 engine was no longer on the option list, but could be had via a special order and perhaps a dozen cars were built with it installed; otherwise the 440-powered Barracudas had a six-barrel carburetor setup instead.

In 1971 the big-block power options offered to the customer were:

275 hp (205 kW) SAE Gross in the 383-2V
300 hp (224 kW) SAE Gross in the 383-4V
385 hp (287 kW) SAE Gross in the 440-6V
425 hp (317 kW) SAE Gross in the 426-8V

They did the same thing in 1970 with the Road Runners. 383--440+6 or Hemi. If you find a U code 70 Road Runner buy it because it is really a Superbird..

More pics of my Charger.
I have known the car since I was 16 my neighbor owned the car. Local Charlotte car no rust, slight accident damage prior to resto. All original drive train, 3 build sheets.

I have the original 14" road wheels, but like the repro 15" 68 style wheels. Carb, starter, VR, alternator etc. all born with. I know some guys don't care about that stuff but that is my interest. Just a great driving honest car. Was fun to restore but a lot of work. I replaced the seat covers, carpet, and headliner. The balance original, door panels, dash, door weather striping, console gauges etc. all original. Literally, my neighbor who owned the car was a little white headed lady her husband owned a machine shop and this was her car.

You're not interested in the 70 U code 4 sped Cuda? Sounds like a cool Cuda.

 :iagree:  If you are shopping for a U-code specifically the one your friend has sounds like a great candidate!
