1972 Barracuda Athens,Georgia

[Cuda Cody]

That is a perfect car to clean and enjoy.  Go through all the wiring and make a reliable driver.  I bet you get more people looking at you if you go to a car show then if you restored it.  Some cars need to be restored, that car would look super cool cleaned up and driven.  You don't find them that clean very often.

Welcome to the forum SCF100! Congrats on the new purchase! What are your plans for her?

Looks like you are about 30 miles from me...I'm in Loganville. My son lives in Athens...UGA grad.

Rev, met you in 2006 at a car show.....when I had my 70 Challenger....

I don't get the whole "I drive a car that looks like a piece of crap" craze

We have similar cars.  Basin street blue.  Not subtle. As for the round tail lights, come on, it's like an American Ferrari. Your car though obviously do what you want.

Good find!

Some neat totals for 1972 Barracuda colors.  B3 was a popular color for a good reason.  It looks GREAT!

Looks like PETTY BLUE to me!

I think you should clean it and get it road worthy, then drive it until you finish your other projects. Then in a couple of years you can decide if you want to keep the patina or restore.

that sounds like a great plan!

next to finish is this 1970 2WD Blazer with a 454 stroked to a 496.....PO dropped in the engine and never hooked up as had wrong motor mounts and headers....

Is that your garage?  Looks like you have a huge space!
