New from West Coast BC

got the mopar bug and I am really drawn to the 1970-74 coda/barracuda. Think I may have found a contender but its about a days drive away so trying to do my research before I take time of to go look at it.

its a 1974 Barracuda and was told it was originally a 6 cylinder car and has had a 440 put into it ( not sure of the donor car) with a semi automatic with shift kit (not sure what it is) and cannot remember what he said the rear end was.

he was an older gentleman and sounds like he has just finished putting car together as it has not been on the road in a few years but said when he bought it had drag bars on in that he removed when doing the work.

Any remendations on what I should be looking for would be greatly appreciated Thanks

The best thing would be to take a lot of photos and post them on here.  There's a TON of guys on here that know more about Mopars than you can ever imagine.  And they are all super ready to help with tips and advice from years of experience.

Question for the Canadian members. I have notice that most running cars that are older restorations are usually going for 30k plus abs that is for non matching number car. Is this the normal or just people asking too much?

   from Chilliwack B.C. I hate to say it but these cars are expensive..... keep your eye out for a deal. Good luck to you!

[anlauto]

Yup, certainly not a cheap hobby anymore and usually the Mopars are more expensive then the Fords or Chevs.

  I don't believe they put /6 engines in E-body's in 1974!
