68 Barracuda 383 4 spd for sale

Are you sure? Ok I'll be honest, here goes...


What turned me off:

(1) I would have to repaint it right away, so what you claim as a selling point is actually a detractor for me. The more unique and crazy you get with the paint and graphics, the more people you alienate.

(2) 12.80 from a built 383 seems a bit slow, or is it a low compression stock engine? Either way...I could throw a completely stock 383 hp shortblock in and be running 12.50s. But there are some nice pieces there that are worth money...so I don't know. I feel like I would have to replace the engine right away.

(3) $15k is a bit high considering what else you can get for that much these days. You mentioned asking $25k if it was a 383-S car...theres a '69 383 4 speed car advertised here for $6.5k, very nice body but needs drivetrain. Look on racingjunk.com - tons of clean, good running 11 and 10 second cars for around $10-12k.

451Cuda,

thanks for the honesty,


1) the paint is blue on white. The graphics are vinyl and are removable.

2) the engine is 8.0 to 1 compression, it has a mild cam and TTI 2" headers, the heads are just a mild port job, nothing fancy. a set of 915's would help boost compression. It has a Team G intake and holley 750. ARP bolts on the bottom end but the rest is stock. The cam is one just below the 509, I believe it is around 480
12.8 is not bad considering it is basically stock.


3)as for price I am open to offers. the fact that I can deliver it, depending on location has to be considered in the price. Send me an offer and we have a starting point.

thanks for the input
