-- X2 - They could be worth from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand, each. -- ALSO -- After purchase - moving them to wherever, will be very costly, unless the buyer is able to move it/them by himself.
A member at church's husband recently deceased that was in his late-eighties, and left behind literally twelve 66-72' Mopars (2-70' 340 Dusters, 2-big block 66/67' Chargers, 6-67/68' Barracudas, 1- mid-70's Magnum). The wife of forty years doesn't know much about them, and just wants them gone. She literally talked about calling the junkyard to pick them up.. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up
I'm not an expert on A-Bodies, but the condition of most are very good for sitting 15-20 years under tarps and tree's. Meaning, literally, very few visible rust areas, no bondo, and they're 100% factory original (none look to have ever been painted, so you're getting exactly what you see). Now, I'm not saying that they're 'driver ready', but they are what you'd expect from an original, unrestored car. This is the holy grail of Mopar 'barn' finds in Florida, I rarely EVER see any in this condition to start restorations. Most have been sitting for 10-15 years. One of the Barracudas is a Formula S Fastback with a 273 and factory A/C; it was covered with 1/2" of dust under his garage, surrounded by 8 3/4 rear ends and other misc. car parts. He has another one inside the garage, we didn't see, but who knows, could be a factory big block car for it to be taking up his only garage space!?
She just wants them out of her back yard, and sorry I don't have pictures, we just went two evenings ago at 1900H and it got dark around 1930H, we didn't even get a chance to really look over any of them or for me to copy VIN #'s. Some are manuals, others auto, like I said, I didn't have time to copy any information down. My conscious wouldn't allow me to 'take her' on these cars, she has absolutely no idea what they are or the value. I would be purchasing them, keeping two out of the 12 (giving her cash up front), and also the proceeds of whatever I can sell the rest for. The only thing I told her I was interested in was her 71' D100 Adventurer Sport with nearly no rust, as it would be a great G3 Hemi swap candidate to go with my power wagon.
Any idea the value of a lot of 67-69 barracudas, un-restored or molested, nearly all 100% factory and most with A/C?
The lower the price I can get these cars for, the better it will be for those that purchase them from me. If I were to let her on that these cars are worth $1,000-$1,500 each (to the right buyer), then why would she sell them to me for anything below that?
to those individuals that post these sort of drastically inflated values. I could see a 70-71' Cuda' going for $5,000 in the same condition, but these are a totally different animal. Even after putting $30,000 into this model of Barracuda, you'd be lucky to get $20,000 out of it.
