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

really j par? have you been living on another planet for the last 10 years? i am seeing Barracudas that are COMPLETE JUNK selling for $3500 - $5000. one of these cars that is a complete car and is "running and driving" has an "average" selling price of around $14,000. i have a feeling you have NO-ZERO actual experience in the background and current market value of 67-69 Barracudas. and as to this car not having the "Cuda" package, you are correct. however, you could add that option to this car which would increase its value substantially. there are lots of guys in the marketplace for these cars that do not care if everything on the car is completely "factory correct" so long as the car looks and runs nice. i'll bet you're one of those guys who would go up to a guy at a car cruise who has a for sale sign on his very nice "driver" 69 Formula S Barracuda saying "asking $26,000" and ask the guy if he would take $15k. and then YOU would probably start nit-picking all the minor things wrong with the guy's car. i've done a complete restoration on a 68 Barracuda and am finishing two 69's that i have right now. i KNOW what these cars are worth and i KNOW how much it costs to bring one of these cars back to "decent" driver condition. and that number IS NOT the $30,000 you think it is.
LOL... You sure seem to feel that you have me pegged... And freely putting words in my mouth saying I would do this and do that LOL....
First prices of cars on the East coast are different than the West coast...
Second it's been repeated here millions of times that a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it...
Let me say it for myself instead of you putting words in my mouth... I would never walk up to anybody at a car show and offer them money for their car.. especially if it didn't have a for sale sign in it.. and if they were asking $26, 000 for a what I would deem as a $15,000 car I would be able to see we were light years away and not insult the person with an offer like that... I'm not a fan of the 68-69 barracuda so that would be off the table to begin with... If I ever spend that kind of money it's not going to be on an a body... If people are spending that that kind of money "on complete junk" I would say there's an *** for every seat or a fool and his money are soon parted...
