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.
:welcome: There is something you don't hear everyday, someone looking for a /6. :bigthumb: Hope you find a nice one. :bravo:

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

sure wish I could find one of the bh mods with M46.
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.
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:

Hope you find one . Beauitful red on red 70 challenger on eBay last year I think it was $25 k slant 6 Lots of slant six valiants here in Australia. I must say they are an awesome engine with there long stroke they just keep on going good luck with your search :australia:

I read about this car at hotrod a year ago, i guess it has been sold long ago, and this is old listing.

guaranteed it's an original slant car, no one in their right mind would clone a v8 to a slant. but that price is nuts for a car that needs everything (the heavy newer paint in the trunk says 'I need replacement too')
Yep, but I'm sure it has been sold long ago........
How much Barracudas were produced with slant six?

Going to be tough....I've seen 1970 red challenger with slant six, on craigslist. Somewhere in Arizona, if I remember it right. Good one, need tlc, but nevertheless, price was around 15k usd.
I believe that there were more challengers with slant six than barracudas
There were more challengers produced than barracudas, something like eighty thousand verses thirty. :alan2cents:
Mygeeto, not many out there looking for a Slant6 E-body as a lot of the guys here have mentioned. My good friend and fellow Slant6 E-body owner EC_CO, has one he has had for quite a while now as I. He has a '70 Barracuda and I have a '70 Challenger and I've owned mine quite a while also. I purchased mine as a trade-in from a Dodge dealership in 1972. I'm sure if you keep beating the bushes you'll come up with what your looking for. A lot of those "C" code E-bodies have had a V8 identity change. Thanks, Al

Unrestored is preferable, but can consider restored too.
Unrestored? Meaning a full on project car with few parts? Or are you looking for a survivor unrestored? Running driving?

cuda hunter,I mean project car, even without engine, rusty, without pans, some interior maybe missing etc. But it must be matching numbers slant six.
Well, like I said, I have two 6cly Barracudas that I bought for parts years ago. I've been selling off some project cars in the last few years with good results. I just have not gotten around to these two yet. I'm in Texas so they are not rusty and very repairable as projects. I'll send you a Pm with my email and number. At least if you find a car without a k frame, I would have that for sure. Mark

NICE!!! now that is a rarity. 1 of @ 378 /6 verts for '70 and probably only a couple of those are left (the rest converted or no longer with us). also has a VERY early build date
Still looking)
I just saw a few posted on the e-body or Mopar Facebook page age. There was one in susanville California someone posted a screenshot of the craigslist add. I tried looking it up but no success. :dunno:
