This thing looks pretty sharp!  It's only about 2 hours from me...

'74 L code (360 4bbl) w/4spd!! rare beast for a '74 .. less than 12k total Barracudas, and somewhere @ 400 360/4spd. and because it's a '74 you'll probably get it for a 'bargain' (relatively speaking). looks like the color is up your alley too.  :takemymoney:
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

Yea...that one looks pretty decent...a million things I would correct, but over all...... :bigthumb:

Most likely asking about $35K :alan2cents:

Something about the front fender/wheel-gap looks off to me.  Maybe just sitting too high?  I can't quite tell...

Every picture has the wheels turned, Looks to me like front tires are to short but maybe not, rear tires are pretty short too.... Lots of little flaws missing bits but if the price isn't to out of control nothing that can't be fixed... Personally I'd ditch the tires & wheels....

Yeah I'm not a big "factory wheels" kinda guy on Cudas, but I wasn't crazy about those either.  :)

I couldn't tell if the wheel arch on those fenders looked out of whack or not.

I'm watching the auction to see what it does.  It's not 100% what I want, so I'd have to find out where his reserve is (I hate reserve auctions - just list it for what the heck you want and let it go.)

I'd go look at it this weekend, but I've got a lot going on!

35K is way to much for that car!   :alan2cents:
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

I like Factory wheels, but I like plenty of aftermarket wheels too... I like 17's, not so much 20's....  I just really don't care for the wheels on this car....  But thats fine cause changing the wheels is part of making it your own...

It's only at 10.5 right now, but reserve isn't met.  I'll just keep an eye on it.  :)

That's a good one to watch.  Ask and see if they have any photos of the restoration?

Lower the front end, black out behind the grille, and put some undercoating in the wheel wells.... that will help the look of it a lot.  Under $25K is a great deal and over $35K is too much.   :alan2cents:

The rear wheel wells would bother me. to wide and no spotwelds, at least use A pencil eraser before the filler sets up to mimic the look of A spotweld.  :alan2cents:

It's apparently at some sort of dealer, though the pictures don't reflect that.  I'd highly doubt they have any information on the car, which is always the problem when buying these from a dealer.

This location in Indiana is in the middle of NOWHERE, between myself and Indianapolis, which is very close to me as it is.  I could probably get there in 90 minutes or so.

I dunno - maybe my daughter will be up for another road-trip this weekend...  :)

Might be worth the drive to look at it in person.  But maybe see if they have it on their main website or call and find out how much they are asking for it.

Nice.  You were right on with the $35k guess.   :clapping:
