[FOR SALE] 68 Barracuda

[newmexguy]

1968 Plymouth Barracuda.
Currently being parted out in East El Paso U Pull IT yard. Arrived about a month ago, discovered it last week.

Able to cut off major panels for any serious party willing to purchase and have shipped.

Have contact in downtown El Paso who has a truck dock for drop off - pick up of large items.

This yard is 65 plus miles from my house in southern NM and a 135 mile round trip so I cannot simply shoot down for a small part, on a single trip, it has to be a major section.

Good Partial Quarter panels, Wheel houses, Roof, Cowl and Firewall, and inner front fenders and front stub. (lower rear quarters w drop offs, and a section on each side of tail pan appear to have been cut off by a previous visitor in yard)

Sections $100 each and up.

Any idea what sort of shape the floor pans are in behind the front seat?

The car (Barracuda) is full of trash, and parts. I did not sweep it out while taking these pics. Unfortunately, it is also 65 plus miles from my place of residence. I can get you floor sections out of a clean 68 Valiant hulk that is still in the local yard near my house, if you are interested in those. The Valiant hulk is a four door, btw.

There are no good rubber, plastic, or vinyl parts on this car. Time, heat, sun, and ozone destroy them. Have you tried Wildcat in Oregon?? There was an individual on this site who seemed to have an inside track on some fairly rare and or desirable parts located within that yard.

I want the pinto in the back lol

 

[newmexguy]

"they" recently crushed a pair of Gremlins - one had disc brakes, and the other was a 304 car!! Both went to crusher essentially as seen here.

 

[QuintinMotorCompany]

NOOOOOOO!!!!! haha, let me know if they get anymore in

 

[newmexguy]

was sickening to see them all smashed on the flat bed leaving yard, but the parts are simply too odd ball, and too far from individuals that may want them. One could spend hundreds accumulating inventory that might then sit for years, if not decades. Have quite a bit of that already, lol.

Does that barracuda have an 8&3/4 rear? Id be interested in the rear end .

I used a 74 dart 4 door floor pan in my 67 cuda. It all fits,the same , except the dart floir is,longer at the back so i had to make,1 non stock seam at the back. Otherwise it fit right in.

It looks like a 7 1/4. There is a hole just to the left of the center.

I believe it is a slant six car. there is a 904 core trans in the trunk area, that "appears" to have the "slanted" bellhousing pattern. But I am not an expert on this either. There is a loose early LA exhaust manifold in it, too. Is the removable K member have any value, if it is not V-8?? Am going to guess - no.

 

[acpat]

how much per section for the valiant floors ? I need the rear pans from front seat bolt holes back

 

[newmexguy]

Swept out car yesterday. Floors with exception of passenger foot well are junk or pinholed. Car may have sat under a tree near the river (rio grande) for decades possibly. Exterior panels are good. Roof, remaining Quarter metal, wheel houses, Cowl, Firewall and inner front fenders and front frame stub.

Previous owner appears to have hacked off lower quarters, along with trunk drop offs, and in doing, also hacked lower rear corners of tail pan and rear spring shackles. Rest of rear frame rails and trunk floor surrounding spare tire well appear solid. Bottom of well is pinholed.

Anyone ID this K member - slant six or small (LA) V-8?? Not an expert on Mopar vehicles beyond basic knowledge. The center link (appears to be a non wear item - similar to 88 - 99 Chev truck) is that desirable?

Matt from TX - no glove box door or bucket seat tracks sorry.
Gary - I did check the 10 in drum it seemed to be the type you were looking for but it was thin, doubtful on turning it, so I left it at the counter - they wanted too much for it and it had a core too.
