1972 Cuda, how to build, poll

I had

70 Grand Coupe Barracuda 383 auto AC & PW

71 383 auto Cuda Convertible

And

72 318 auto Barracuda

If it were mine it would go back petty blue find a nice small block, use the 72 stripe and forget the black out hood

But it is your car, do what you want

Just think a factory restoration with some minor upgrades will make a pleasant car to own & drive

Once you change the tail panel & grill you will need to change side marker lights to make it look right.

The AAR stripe on the 72 do not look right to me, but the stock stripe you hardly ever see because everyone puts AAR or Hockey stick stripes on them. So that is why the stock stripe is best.

When you get done and go to sell it will be worth more original than butchered, original engine TRANS or not.

My opinion
