1973 Barracuda

[Ragtex1962]

We have acquired a 1973 Barracuda, anyone want to buy it? A friend of mine told me to use the below ad:

You are looking at a beautiful 1973 Cuda. The heartbeat of this classic is an excellent running 340 with a nasty growl being pushed out the back through a new dual exhaust. The under carriage of this animal is all original metal, absolutely no rust on floor pans or frame. Entire car is all original metal without patch panels or body filler. The paint is driver quality, but shows signs of her age. The car sits on all new tires and rims (original rims come with the car). It sports an 8.75 rear end with 323 gears which makes it a nice cruiser. The car is pushed forward with an automatic 3-speed, manual body transmission. Brake lights, turn signals, and running lights work as they should; this is one solid piece of Detroit muscle that anyone would be proud to own.

Welcome to FABO, while it's true the Barracuda was built as an A Body from 1964 to 1969, they then were built on a new E Body platform in 1970 along with the introduction of the Dodge Challenger, both models ran until the end of the 1974 model year.

You might want to post this on the "For E Bodies Only" board.

E bodies pretty well sell themselves so the added cheese of “heartbeat of this classic, excellent running, nasty growl, new dual exhaust, animal, original rims, sports, nice cruiser, pushed forward, etc” really isn’t needed. It’s not like you’re selling a Plymouth Cricket. That sounds like a really desperate ad.

What’s an automatic 3 speed, manual body transmission?

What’s an automatic 3 speed, manual body transmission

The valve body was modified to be manually shifted from gear to gear, 1 is first gear, 2 is second gear and D, third gear. Automatic shifting in "D" is eliminated.

Now if it is called a "Reverse Manual" Valve Body, then D is 1st gear, 2 is second gear and 1 is third gear.
