I'M SELLING THIS CAR FOR A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR SEND ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND I WILL PASS ALONG THE INFO. UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS 1973 BH23H CODE PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA. OVER 6000 BS CODE BARRACUDAS WERE BUILT, BUT ONLY 457 BH CODES WERE BUILT. THE FENDER TAG READS AS FOLLOWS. V5X-VINYL BODY SIDE MOLDINGS J54- SPORT HOOD W/SCOOPS M21-DRIP RAIL MLDGS. N41-DUAL EXHAUST N42-BRIGHT EXHAUST TIPS N95-EMISSION SYSTEM (CALIF CAR) R11-AM RADIO V1W-WHITE VINYL TOP U-BUILT FOR USA B41-POWER DISC BRAKES C56-BUCKET SEATS G35-LFT OUTSIDE CHROME MIRROR H51-AC W/HEATER JF8- FORREST GREEN METALLIC A6F6- GREEN INTERIOR A25-INTERIOR CONVENIENCE GROUP E55-340 4BBL D34-727 AUTO TRANS THE MOTOR, FENDER TAG, AND DASH PLATE ARE ALL NUMBERS MATCHING AND THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE AS WELL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN ON JACKSTANDS IN THE DRY CALIFORNIA DESERT FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. THEREFORE THE CAR IS DRY, DRY, DRY! IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THE FAMILY OF AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN WHO PASSED AWAY. THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC 340 W/727 AUTO TRANS, AND 8 3/4 DROPOUT REAREND WITH 3.23 GEARS NON POSI. IT HAS FRONT AND REAR SWAY BARS, POWER DISC BRAKES, DUAL EXHAUST REAR VALANCE, CUDA RALLY HOOD, ROAD WHEELS, POWER STEERING, AC, BUCKET SEATS, COLUMN SHIFT, AND BUCKET SEATS. THE ORIGINAL COLOR IS JF8 FORREST GREEN METALLIC WITH WHITE VINYL TOP AND GREEN INTERIOR. THIS CAR LOOKS LIKE A CUDA. INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IT LOOKS TO BE VERY ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE. EVERY LITTLE HOSE, WIRE , BRACKET, ETC, SEEMS TO BE IN PLACE. THE ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER, CARB, INTAKE, EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, BATTERY TRAY, RADIATOR, WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID RESERVOIR, FAN CLUTCH, FENDER TAG, ARE ALL THERE, EVEN THE UNBROKEN PLASTIC COWL VENT COVERS. THE MOTOR TURNS OVER. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO START IT. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES, THE BODY AND UNDERCARRIAGE ARE VERY SOLID. ALL FRAME RAILS, FIREWALL AND FLOORPANS ARE SOLID. THE TRUNK HAS SOME SURFACE RUST, BUT VERY SOLID. THE VINYL TOP WAS REMOVED AND PRIMERED (NOW WEARING OFF) MILD SURFACE RUST ONLY. ALL DOORS, HOOD, TRUNK, AND FENDERS LINE UP AND FIT NICELY. THERE IS ONE SMALL RUST HOLE VERY LOW IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THERE IS SOME BONDO IN FRONT OF THE WHEELWELL ON THE RIGHT REAR QTR, BODY LINE (DENT). THE FRONT VALANCE IS DENTED (BIG SURPRISE) AND THERE IS A DENT IN THE FRONT FASCIA ABOVE THE GRILL (BOTH ARE BOLT ONS). OTHERWISE THE REST OF THE CAR HAS IT'S ORIGINAL PAINT AND PATINA THE INTERIOR IS DEFINATELY IN NEED OF A MAKEOVER (DESERT STORAGE). THE SEATS, DASH PAD, AND CARPET AS WELL AS THE DOOR PANELS AND SIDE PANELS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. MOST IF NOT ALL OF T HE TRIM PIECES (INTERIOR AND VINYL TOP) ARE LAYING IN THE CAR. THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALL OTHER GLASS LOOKS OK. ALL-IN-ALL THIS RARE (1-457) AUTHENTIC NUMBERS MATCHING 340 BARRACUDA WILL BE A FAIRLY EASY RESTORATION. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND A DESIREABLE E BODY THAT HAS NOT BEEN MOLESTED AND IS AS COMPLETE AND SOLID AS THIS BARRACUDA. YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE USUAL INTERIOR MAKEOVER, BUT YOU WON'T HAVE TO SEARCH ALL OVER FOR MISSING PIECES, OR REPAIR MOLESTED AREAS, OR REPAIR RUST DAMAGE...AND THAT SAYS A LOT ! SHE IS A VERY SOLID SOUTHER CALIF, POSSIBLY A 1 OWNER CAR, THAT MANY PEOPLE, AND ESPECIALLY EASTERN RESIDENTS, DREAM ABOUT. HAPPY BIDDING. THE MAGNUM WHEELS DO GO WITH IT. A $500.00 DEPOSIT IS DUE AT THE CLOSE OF AUCTION. THE BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAY. NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THE CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY, THEREFORE I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.
