Interesting Cuda. Not mine

This 1971 Plymouth Barracuda is a rolling project that is believed to have been first delivered as a body in white and commissioned by Rick Holladay, Jr.. Dubbed "Hemi-Cuda", Holladay ran the car in Pro 225 with a 426 Hemi, and it was purchased by the seller in 1973. It sat outside for some time before spending the last two decades in long-term storage. The body retains the remnants of its Hemi-Cuda race livery, and additional equipment includes a quick-release high-rise hood, a hood scoop, full glass, alloy wheels, and ladder-bar rear suspension. The interior features a Barracuda wood-rimmed steering wheel, fixed-back bucket seats, and a roll cage. Spare parts and wheels are included, though there is no drivetrain that goes with the car. This Barracuda drag car project is now offered in Virginia at no reserve on a bill of sale.

Cool car, mostly useless verbage in ad.

Yikes, looks like it was stored at the bottom of a salt mine! Not much original will be saved off this one?

What can you really do with it?  It's super cool, but oh man it's in tough shape. 

[RUNCHARGER]

Yes: And no VIN on a body in white to start with. So, yes I can't see anything happening with it, unless this Holladay fellow was well known somewhere. I've never heard of him myself.
