A 68 Cuda big-block fastback for $8500 - this is the best buy yet

I think Jim has a few of these. I bet he can vouch for it's authenticity.


yes, i have 7 of these cars now. however, as the ad notes, this car does not have a fender tag which is too bad. but this is still a car worth serious consideration at the price listed. the pictures clearly show that the car has no apparent rust to be repaired. naturally, the underneath of the car could present rust problems but from the portions of the body that can be seen, it is unlikely the chassis has major rust problems. rust tends to be visible on these cars on several common areas. this car does not show rust in those areas that can be seen. a "400 big block" is not the correct motor for the car as ALL 67-69 Barracuda's came with the older 383. the 400 was not released by Chrysler till the 1972 model year. this block replaced the older 383. but both engines look almost exactly alike so few people would know this car has a 400 instead of the 383. but the owner says the car "runs and drives" and has a 727 Torqueflite and a 3:91 rear gear. that is a VERY popular drive train. i like 4 speeds and they are still worth more than automatics in these cars (especially the 383 cars) - but you are already starting out with a great drive train here. the interior in this car looks good and the stuff that needs to be changed back to stock can be done easily. finally, these big block fastbacks look very nice in that dark green. i have a friend in Pittsburgh who is just finishing an A-57 green fastback and it looks beautiful. this car could easily be turned into a "Cuda 383" with minimum work. just an FYI: the 383 fastbacks are bringing $30-$40k when completely restored. you could buy this car for $8500, put $10k in the car and end up with a "Cuda" that was worth AT LEAST $28k. this car could actually be a "flip" car for profit - but i don't really like the guys who are doing that.
