Dear All,
I'm new here. Owned Cuda 73 six pack some times ago. It was too much for me, sold long ago. Now I'm nostalgic about good old times with Cuda.

Looking for a E body Barracuda or Challenger with 6 cylinder engine. (C, B code). I know that B code is quite rare, but C code arises sometimes.
Unrestored is preferable, but can consider restored too.
Please DM me, or leave here a message with the car you own, know, found or just came across and I'll contact you.

I'll be the first to say kudos on searching out a slanty e-body. most folks want the big power. not many of the slanties left as most were converted to V8s, now they are pretty rare and a lot of folks have never seen a slanted E. there are a few of us on the forum though and happy to have another join. good luck on the hunt, they do pop up unrestored once in a while, but I can't recall seeing one restored for sale in the last 10 years.

:welcome:

Thank you! That was quite obvious, but I didn't think of that.
Just in case - I already have 225 slant ready to go, put out from my dart.
I can also consider cuda/challenger with V8, that was originally with slant 6, according to the plate)

Welcome to the site from Panama & good luck in the search

Welcome from Colorado!  That's a difficult car to find.  C's are difficult and B's are almost unheard of.
I've got a 71 C that needs a full resto.  Since I received that car I've been looking at other C's and there aren't many to find.
Once in a while they pop up but usually with the motor conversion already.  Keep looking, you'll get lucky.

might be easier to find a converted one and put it back. sell the v8 and k-member to buy the k and motor you want. you'll need a slant engine harness though ... they are not reproduced yet, but I have M&H wiring working on repro'ing my '70 only slant harness and there are a few folks waiting to order one too. here are a couple I found on fleabay

I've had two 70 C engine code Barracudas for 30 years as parts cars. Both were 3 speed on the floor. I bought both of them with no motor or trans. One still had the shifter in the trunk.

Finding an E body /6 K might be tougher than finding a /6 E body....  I had one for years but eventually scrapped it cause nobody was interested.....

That's the truth there.  That k member is like hens teeth.  As well as that wiring harness.

7E-Bodies

Don't give up. They're out there. I saw one on eBay not a year ago that was a beautiful survivor with nice paint and low miles. I owned one as well. Keep watching eBay and people here post Craigslist ads from all over when they see them.

Anyone eager to sell?)

Wow guys, thank you for being so supportive!
I saw a post here, about selling one of these at fb marketplace in march, but missed it, in march i bought buick gn  :-[
And was thinking only about it....
Harness is not a problem, i've got an electrician, who has already fully restored harness in my cars.
The k-member might be an issue. But guess, I'll worry about this after finding the car)

I ran across this one with a /6. No VIN posted in the ad so can't verify it's a true C code car.   :dunno:
