Well, i don't want to do this, but, I believe its time I part ways with the project I'll never get to. I have a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda convertible, gold with black interior and a black top. It currently has the original 318 in it with 904 trans and a 7.25 rear.

It is an all out project and needs everything, but, its a good car and comes with a lot of parts. It needs floor boards, which brand new ones are included, along with a brand new gas tank and many other misc parts. Also, it comes with a set of spindles/disc brakes off of a early 70s Duster to convert the front to big bolt pattern (5x4.5) and to give it disc brakes.

The car currently needs quarters and a passenger's fender definitley, and theres two spots on the driver's side frame that are a little weak. The passenger's side looks perfect, though, not sure what happened there. The driver's side fender could be patched as its not too terrible. The trunk is solid as is the trunk lid, hood, and doors. I also have all the pieces to convert it to a 4 speed minus the transmission and crossmember. But, I have the pedals, floor shift column (stock one is on the column), clutch linkage, and the z-bar.

The top motors function perfectly and it goes up and down just fine, and the dash and all convertible specific interior pieces are in very good condition. All the stainless convertible only trim is also in place and in good condition.

I won't lie, it needs a lot, but, its a very rare car that my dad bought for a project for us when I was 6 years old and I've been collecting parts ever since. But, like many things, it was simply put on the back burner and never completed. I don't have a title for it currently, but, you can go through one of the companies such as titles unlimited to get one for about $200.

I don't want to move on the price as it is what it would take for me to part with the car. If I can't get that, than it will just sit and I'll get to it one of these days, but, it is definitley worth it, and, after going to Carlisle this year, I believe my price is more than fair.

So, if you are interested or have any questions, please PM me

I only have one picture of it that I took about 2 years ago, and, I'll be honest, the picture hides a lot...lol

But, I had a guy look at it the other day, and even he said, its gone enough to realize its a project, but, its complete enough to realize its a good car to start with. He told me he actually wished it was worse off that way it would be easier to pass up...lol

But...let me know. I tried to list everything I could think of because I don't want any surprises for anyone as I hate that when I look at a car. So, if any questions, just ask.

The main reason for my wanting to get rid of it is that I'm starting college in January, and, some extra money for that would be very helpful.

I am looking for one but more than what I want to spend for a project.

Throw me an offer. Worse I can say is no :) May consider trades. Once again, just let me know what you have. I'm in need of something 4WD.

And...I would get a title, its just, I don't have the money to be spending on something like that right now. As I said, I'm 18 and about to go to college. I'm poor...lol

And, I will get more pictures, haven't had a chance yet.
 

The only problem is if you look around a couple grand more you can buy a nice driver. That's a year 2000 price
