Potential 69 Barracuda Purchase :)

zhandfull said

I had bought my 68 Dart for $4,800 real nice chrome original not pitting, Paint original starting to rub off top surfaces rebuilt 273 otherwise orignal. Interior original needing to be redone. That was Three years ago, and yes I sold it for $11,000 after putting about $8,000 in to it. 360 crate 727, 8 3/4 new interior back to stock. Probably regret selling, bottom line still lost money even buying the car right, the guy I bought it from wanted $6,800 had to wait him out about four months. I think 68 year barracuda & Darts are worth maybe $500 to $1,000 more than 67,69 years but thats just my opinion.

I agree with the 68's going for or getting more buying interest than the 67 or 69. But 68 and 69's are pretty close. I think the 69 Barracudas would be the same if the grille and tail panels were so expensive and hard to find.

Jim, we saw your Dart at the Pomona Swap Meet maybe a year ago or early this year? My buddy wanted to build a Super Stock clone. All the good HiPo parts from yours would have to be sold off. Didn't pencil out right for his particular situation. The stock car you started with at $4800, he would have bought though. IRRC, that was a super straight 100% rust free virgin not messed with body.

$11K doesn't sound too bad actually. But I'm sure idiots have bought shiney red with black interior and stripes Darts in worse true shape for more money.

Things are getting tougher as time goes on though. I know someone else more recently with a 68 Barracuda fastback 330 hp crate Magnum 360 and new passon 4spd, 3.55 sure grip, disks, shiny paint ok interior was having a tough time at $9-10K But did sell. But it had rust repair issues with lower exterior body. Not bad, just not like the body on your Dart.
