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
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

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

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.?
