jpar... i guess you didn't read the noted Barracuda ad very closely. the ad says the car "runs and drives." tell you what - why don't you keep a list of all the 68-69 Barracudas you run across for sale for $8500 that ALSO run and drive and only need a few items to bring them back to about 80% stock. when you get multiple cars on this list, send it to me here on FABO because i will probably buy one or more of those cars. it's fine that 68-69 Barracudas are not your thing. however, if those particular cars were "your thing", you would know that $8500 for the car i listed in the condition that the car is in with the parts that come with the car IS "a good deal."
