I am tempted at buying, but working one currently. Good spot to start. B2 blue is a great color on these cars. 12k

I seen this one too. Its a good start forsure. The exchange and shipping would kill me. It would end up costing me 20,000 with shipping and exchange.... ouch

an intact '71 C code is a pretty rare car at this point since most were converted to v8s. I think @ 1700 total made (between the 198 cu.in and 225 cu.in slants) ... probably less than a dozen left
The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came .... now in 4spd flavor

Did they install a 198ci in the E-Bodies?   :dunno:

Yes they did.  It's a B code.

I've been trying to find a B0B to buy for years.  Far less common than a C0B.   

I have a C1B.  you can tell it was never beat on.

I thought I recall they were only made in Belgium.

That's what somebody wrote here from overseas.
I've never seen one.

Yes, pretty certain they were only available in the coupe/deputy models...the most basic of basic when it comes to E Bodies.

I've been trying to find the rubber floor cover since I purchased the car many years ago.

I can't even find a picture of the rubber flooring.  There was not even a piece left in the car when I got it.  So I don't even have anything to go by.  The floor isn't rotted out like I would expect from a rubber floor.

I don't think an E-body rubber floor exists - all had carpet

BH23 w/A93 ONLY:
1970 198s ~461
1971 198s ~96

I've only ever come across one A93 Barracuda and it still had original carpet flooring :dunno:

So, did B bodies have the rubber flooring?  Second item on the code description has rubber flooring. 
And it specifically says E and B bodies.  What am I missing or mis-interpreting?  I get that no one has ever seen one apparently but why is it in the code then?

what is the source of this E-body "rubber flooring"?  Chrysler Corp.?
