Title: Cheap vert for sale in Colorado
Post by: cuda hunter on February 25, 2018, 06:37:11 AM
I would consider this car but I just don't know values enough on verts.  Is this a reasonable price for a vert needing a restoration as it has rust issues?
Opinions please.

this is a rare and hard to even find 1971 barracuda convertible!

this is a complete car and numbers matching!

If you'd like a vert in your collection I'd go look.....  Top down cruising in the Rockies would be awesome...  How much rust is there?  His rust versus the M46 cars you've dragged home might be nothing....

It's like the one from the Brady Bunch!

I agree: You would have to look at it. 71 Barriecudas carry a premium so the price might be in line. There's just no way to know value without an inspection.

Unless the bottom side is totally rusted away, this should have been sold by now.  :wowzers:  If it was just a wee bit closer, I would have been there by now! And you can take that to the bank,  :cheers:

Just talked to David.
He just bought it 2 days ago for 23k.
Selling now for 27k.
Left quarter needs replaced. Right quarter could use a patch or replace.
One rust hole in cowl left side near top.


No fender tag. But has build sheet.
B5 blue original with one repaint
Blue interior.
White top.
Hes calling me back as he is buying a scooped hood. For it.
Let you know what I find out.
Anyone got some more pricing advice for me?

I would have to say it is at least 4 times a better investment than the M46 Barracuda any day of the week. How many times have we seen total rust bucket ebodies go for 20k+ Unless there are some MAJOR issues not seen in the picture, this deserves a look. Maybe not the caliber of the one Finoke sold awhile back, but this has to be one of the best deals as far as I am concerned  in some time.  :alan2cents:

If in my area, it would be in my shop as we read about this.

He never called me back. 
I worked 11 hours today so I didn't get a chance to call him back in a reasonable hour.
Will try again tomorrow.

He said that he has had a TON of calls about the car.  Mostly out of staters.  I said I was interested and would come out to look but he had to take another call.  Missed opportunity. 

so what in everyones opinion would the value of this car be in the listed condition?

Post by: cuda hunter on February 25, 2018, 08:05:15 PM
Oh, and he said that the power top works.

As does the car, starts and drives. 

23K, some peoples luck. :Thud:

If you want it give him the $27k there's no time to try and beat him up. It's a great deal. He should've asked $33k and settled on $30k. It will be gone tomorrow.

:iagree:  And

A) I'm cheap

If you want a shot at it get in your car & be in his town early tomorrow.....

Not surprising.  He seemed overwhelmed when I talked to him about the car.
He appears to be a flipper from the beginning.  He picked it up from somewhere and offered it for sale for a few grand.  Got a hundred calls from all over the country and he figured out he could get more money for the car than 27K.

Anyone have a guess as to what this car will sell for?

P.S. and what the hell is with all the watchers on ebag.

I believe he is a car seller all around.  Just happens he found a 71 vert barracuda.  'Got so much attention he put it on ebay.

At least he found it and brought it to light.

@kathyscuda (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/kathyscuda_45) I can only see things on ebay that sold from a seller for the last 60 days.  Is there somewhere else on ebay I can look at past transactions for pricing?   Where is it?

Wow, that was a fair bit rougher than I thought from the earlier photos I saw of it. Still a pretty good project I suppose. :thinking:

A friend said he saw it at around $31,000 before it dissapeared.
