1971 Plymouth Barracuda

Coupe

8 - Cyl.

Automatic

Gasoline

HELLO, UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1971 BARRACUDA. FIRST OFF PLEASE LET ME CLARIFY THAT IN THE TITLE IT SAYS 90% COMPLETE, THAT MEANS I HAVE 90% OF ALL THE PARTS. NOT THAT IT IS 90% COMPLETED. IT NEEDS TOTAL RESTORATION, I BOUGHT IT LIKE YOU SEE IT IN PRIMER. BODY WORK HAS BEEN STARTED BUT THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT TO DO. THERE ISN'T MUCH RUST AT ALL. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER THEIR ARE SOME GROUPINGS OF PEN HOLES THAT HAE EATEN THROUGH IN A COUPLE SPOTS. ON THE FLOOR BOARD THEIR ARE A COUPLE PLACES ABOUT THE SIZE OF QUARTERS THAT HAVE EATEN THROUGH. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S NOTHING BUT SURFACE RUST. WORST PARTS ABOUT THIS CAR IS THE VERY FRONT OF THE FENDERS HAVE BEEN DENTED AND THE LOWER QUARTER PANELS HAVE BEEN DENTED, THEN PULLED MOST OF THE WAY OUT WITH A DENT PULLER. A GUY WITH THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE COULD EASILY SMOOTH THEM OUT OR PUT PATCH PANELS ON. THERE IS A PLACE ON THE DRIVERS DOOR SOMEONE HAD PUT SOME BONDO ON IT AND NEVER SMOOTHED IT DOWN. THEIR ARE A LOT OF SMALL DENTS AROUND THE CAR THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION. BUT A GUY COULD SMOOTH THEM ALL OUT. IT ISN'T VERY OFTEN YOU FIND A 71 BARRACUDA THAT HAS SO LITTLE RUST, MOST OF THEM YOU FIND ARE EITHER DONE AND A GUY WANTS BETWEEN 50K AND 100K FOR IT OR THEY ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED TO NOTHING. I HAVE A SET OF RALLY GAUGES WITH THE TACH AND THE CLOCK TO GO WITH THE CAR AND A CUDA HOOD. YOU WILL ALSO GET A FLAT HOOD WITH IT, AND AN EXTRA FENDER THAT IS IN ROUGH CONDITION. I HAVE A SET OF 1970 TAIL LIGHTS THAT ARE IN DECENT CONDITION, ALSO I HAVE A SET OF 1971 TAIL LIGHTS BUT ONE OF THEM IS BUSTED AND IN ROUGH CONDITION THE OTHER IS FAIRLY NICE. I HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL SEATS BUT THEY WILL ALL NEED RECOVERED. THE CAR HAS A 400 IN IT WITH A 727 AUTO BEHIND IT. IT HAS A SLAPSTICK SHIFTER IN IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE REAR END IS ORIGINAL OR WHAT GEAR RATIO IT IS. IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE WIRING HARNESS IS STILL THERE AND RAN WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. ALSO I AM LETTING A 383 GO WITH THE CAR, BOTH THE 383 AND THE 400 WILL NEED REBUILT, I TRIED TURNING THE 383 OVER WITH A RATCHET ON THE CRANK BUT I COULD NOT DO IT SO I BELIEVE IT IS LOCKED UP, BUT IF A GUY PULLED THE PAN AND HEADS OFF AND LUBRICATED IT, IT SHOULD LOOSEN UP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CONDITION THE 400 IS IN. IT WAS ORIGINALLY A 318 CAR. YOU GET ALL OF THE INTERIOR TRIM PIECES AND PANELS, ALL OF THE PANELS HAVE BEEN PAINTED WHITE AND IT HAS CHIPPED OFF THROUGH THE YEARS AND THEY WILL EITHER NEED SANDED AND REPAINTED OR REPLACED. I BELIEVE ALL OF THE SEAT BELTS ARE THERE BUT THEY ARE ROUGH. THE GRILL IS IN FAIR CONDITION, IT IS COMPLETE WITH SOME CRACKS, A PLASTIC WELDER HAS BEEN USED ON IT FOR MOST OF THE CRACKS BUT HOW OFTEN DO YOU FIND A 71 BARRACUDA PROJECT THAT STILL HAS A GRILL? ALSO THEY DON'T REPRODUCE THEM SO THIS IS A BIG DEAL, IT IS A VERY NICE CANDIDATE TO HAVE REFURBISHED. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL DASH PAD FOR THE CAR BUT IT WILL MOST DEFINATELY NEED RECOVERED. IT WILL NEED ALL NEW GLASS. IT STILL HAS THE WIPERS AND WIPER ARMS AND WIPER MOTOR IN IT, I DON'T KNOW IF THE WIPER MOTOR IS ANY GOOD BUT IT IS THERE. ALSO IT HAS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ALSO THE FRONT BUMPER IS BENT THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL A/C CAR, ORIGINAL COLOR WAS B5 BLUE. DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE TO GET THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER YEAR OF THE CUDA THERE IS. THIS WAS THE ONLY YEAR THAT HAD THIS GRILL AND 2 HEADLIGHTS ON EACH SIDE, ALSO IT WAS THE ONLY YEAR TO HAVE GILLS IN THE FENDERS (THEY ONLY CAME ON THE 'CUDA MODELS BUT YOU CAN AD THEM FOR ABOUT $350.00) AND IT WAS THE ONLY YEAR TO HAVE THE TAILLIGHTS IT DOES. THIS IS A 1 YEAR CAR AND WOULD BE AN AMAZING INVESTMENT. THIS CAR COMPLETELY RESTORED COULD BRING ANYWHERE BETWEEN $40,000.00 AND $100,000.00 DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DO IT. THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT 'CUDA CLONE IT IS MOST OF THE WAY THERE, ALL IT REALLY NEEDS NOW TO BE A GOOD 'CUDA CLONE IS THE FENDER GILLS. I DO HAVE A CLEAR TITLE THE VIN NUMBER IS BH23G1B196901 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A CALL ANYTIME AT 918-918-0155 OR 918-859-6767.

On Jan-16-11 at 16:22:50 PST, seller added the following information: I have been told by a mechnic that the motor in the cuda is a 383 also so you get 2 383 and a 727 tranny also i must say my reserve is 8000,00 AND IT WONT GET ANY LOWER THANK YOU
