I went to buy it yesterday and walked away.
I think this thread takes the “most cryptic thread” title today!
Talk about fishing for info without providing any context on much. It’s a bit like saying “I’ve spent a few hours trying but I’m catching nothing. What am I doing wrong?”
Hmmm, well first how about telling us if you’re even tossing your lure in a body of water? Fresh or salt water? From a boat or shore? Is there ice on the lake?
well, barracuda are a salt water fish, so that answers one of your questions
I looked at all the pictures read the add rust free arizona car $7500. And we went with the cash to buy it. What a joke that was . The ony nice pane wat the declid. The car was totally stripped. Then a whole bunch of parts were thrown in the car from other cars just like the broken 68 tail lights. .
The drip rails? The seam sealer was gone and its been sitting in the rain.
The passenger side floor was totally gone extended into the rocker, door pillar,and the cowl. Hidden by the cheap rusty $50 floor setting on top. With parts piled on the floor now. So we had to lift the parts and floor out to see it.
The heater box was out as was the vent box. I had Todd reach up in and feel the water dams in the cowl , They were rotted. This car was sitting outside with a roof seam leak for a long time. The water rotted the dams then the cowl and floors and into the hinge post. The water also ran into the rockers at the bottoms of the quarters for a long time.
Then the Colorado sticker from 81 after the man just got finished telling todd it was an Arizona car its whole life. No pictures of the bad areas were posted and they were not brought to light how bad they were. The only way we saw it was because I pulled the floor patch out
The man was non sociable and misrepresented the car. Not a good buy for resto or parts all the parts have been taken . The car would be good for a chassis race car- Quarters and roof? We Walked away after a 3 1/2 hr ride. At least a got a free Chicken sandwich from Todd.

i think he was trying to protect the guiltywhy are you asking others who the owner is? You spent some time with him and was able to read he wasn’t all that truthful. Do you need others to confirm that? And if it wasn’t the owner, why wouldn’t you be dealing with the owner if you actually were going to buy it (assuming it wasn’t misrepresented)?
i think he was trying to protect the guilty
Ah yes, the guilty need to be protected! Who cares about the victims, it’s the guilty/criminals that need protection.
Well that protection only lasted a few hours.
Ahhhhh, there’s some detail finally!
You’ve been around the block so I’m surprised your surprised you saw a used car that was misrepresented? What’s the surprise?
Was the non sociable man the owner of the car? If so, why are you asking others who the owner is? You spent some time with him and was able to read he wasn’t all that truthful. Do you need others to confirm that? And if it wasn’t the owner, why wouldn’t you be dealing with the owner if you actually were going to buy it (assuming it wasn’t misrepresented)?
If that in our neck of the woods...That looks like a 2-2500 car to me.
Does not look terrible as far as rust is concerned. But for $7500 I would expect rust free. $7500 for a bare roller is ridiculous. Barracudas are one of the few cars you can actually find for a reasonable price still.
Although 15 years ago when I was looking for one I couldnt find one anywhere around here. I had to "settle" for an E body Barracuda.
Nice deck lid though'
