Title: What do you think of this 1970 Barracuda
Post by: Mopsquad on June 19, 2018, 05:53:29 PM
I just find the simplicity so attractive.  A cruiser with a 318 and A/C.  The green/green paint/interior just screams 70's.  I'm sure many of you have seen this for sale.  What are your thoughts?

I think its a pretty neat car.  Nice options.  I would love to get a set of the seat emblems this cars has.  Just a nice touch on nicely designed seat covers.

These guys usually have their cars priced high, and often will have them for a while.  I did try to buy a Challenger from them a few years back.  Priced at $69, I offered 62K.  It sat in the showroom for an additional 2 years before it may have sold.

I dig the flat hood and clean lines.  Price is high for what it is, but I would love to own that car and drive it everywhere!  :banana:

Pictures don't show everything but it looks pretty damn good in the pic. If it is as good as it looks I don't think you'd find a 70 for less in that condition even if it is just a 318

I like the color and black steelies with caps!  Gateway consigns everything, so I think you have some negotiation room.

A clean, no rust '70 BH 318 car is just a few thousand off that. IMHO low $30's is fair.

Looks like it's gone.  Probably soon to be a resto mod or HEMI clone.

What do I think? That is the most boring barracuda I have ever seen. Mid to high 20's. IMO.

 Well... It is a Gran Coupe. So it's not just a 318 barracuda. Still too expensive.
  But then i think food is too expensive...  :D

Good looking car with some wrong parts on it if he's going for the big bux. Overall I like it though.

I'm not convinced the mileage isn't 112K, it's had a bunch of restoration work & parts missing - anyone ever seen a woodgrain AM radio like that?  What's it from?  Where'd the 8-track & fender tag go?

It's really hard to tell,you don't see many cars that have rolled over on the speedometer and look that clean. But if you look closely the kick panels show there age . Also the hinge covers are missing from the seats. Why? if only 12,900 on the car why would you be taking the seats apart. Otherwise its a really nice driver as is. The Hemi's and big blocks have gone up so high there's lots of room for the small blocks to creep up as well.

Looking at their website last night, it doesn't pull up.  Possibly sold?

Post by: RUNCHARGER on June 20, 2018, 08:24:01 AM
Ironically, it seems like when a car like this sells it is to someone who is going to throw most of the stuff away and put a new Hemi into it. They look for a good condition car that doesn't need a career of metal work put into it so they can start cutting right away.

Ha, ha: Doesn't matter, US$30k will buy me a lot more than a beat up Barracuda needing a ton of work. It always seems to go this way before the big slide though in my experience.
