I've always liked the 1970 barracuda, body style and I'm rather familiar with working on them from past experience, because, my B.I.L. used to own one that was plum crazy purple with a white vinyl roof with a 383 and a manual transmission at one time.
this particular car was listed in the local paper and it was missing the trunk floor, trunk lid, 100% of the dash and interior, the hood, front fenders ,all the wiring,all the gauges,the differential, bumpers,and the rest of the front sheet metal, the drive train, the door panels, seats,head liner,and it had some evedence it had a past engine fire, the vin codes showed it had originally had a 318 ,auto trans,
yet the guy selling it still wanted $11K for the car and made a big point out of saying the rest was "RUST FREE" of course all the parts that were missing could be replaced or repaired, but the add in the papers stated......
"great project car, 1970 barracuda , needs a few repairs but good basic car"
the basic car was re-buildable, but it looked like the owner had parted it out to the point it was no longer profitable and it was in his opinion just taking up space, so he wanted to unload it at a significant profit to some one with big dreams and less than experienced hands at what it would take to do a full restoration.
Ive seen much more complete cars for under $20K , so this would have required a much larger investment in time and cash and skills the potential owner did not have.
thats a shame as it could have been a good project if the base car was a more realistic starting point< think I would have enjoyed installing a 440 wedge engine and a decent dana 60 and a manual trans into the car if it was a project that could realistically be accomplished on a reasonable budget.
