Wait a minute, let me take that back. I do like the 68 barracuda. That sacrificed its v8 k-frame for my slant six seventy three duster, before I bought it....
This is how I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because there's nothing I have liked about the sixty seven through sixty nine barracuda...
Somebody get the tar and somebody get the feathers....

I emailed the guy days ago..Agreed. Posting only one picture is like requesting an invitation for every Tom, Dick, and Harry "tire kicker" to send an asinine email to you.
Wow... and now for something completely different..lolIf you have FB, or can otherwise read the description, you may find this one, uh...."interesting"!

Update: the auction didn't hit the reserve price. High bid was $5327. It is now "for sale". The asking price is $12075.Hemmings Auction, 1965 Valiant convertible: https://www.hemmings.com/auction/19...b4e1c01baffe9d1810057f589380822f8a548fc12323c
With that "custom" battery hold down, a black engine compartment, ratty interior, and a Scooby Doo floor mat...$12k seems like an awesome deal to me!Update: the auction didn't hit the reserve price. High bid was $5327. It is now "for sale". The asking price is $12075.View attachment 1716396367

I think i have the bungee cord "brake return spring " that goes with that tie downI've got that same battery hold down in my truck.

I'm 65. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the "values" of what not too long ago, I'd like to think, were $800 cars. In 2008, I bought my '74 Dart Sport. (pictured then and now). No options, no rust (the reason I bought it), 198, 3 on the tree (360, 727, 9" now). I paid $1500, and remember thinking it was too much. Glad I bought it then.i think the hemmings bid was a little soft, but not "lo-baller" status. 12 is a little rich considering the overall shabby nature and the bobo work that you can see-- because you know there's double what you can't.
the whole "the top goes goes down, the price goes up" does hold true, but i'd say value is closer to 5 than the 12 ask

same, same. i remember when these cars were *cheap* too!I'm 65. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the "values" of what not too long ago, I'd like to think, were $800 cars.

I often wonder who sprayed ugly brown over the ugly avocado gold.![]()
20 would be a good deal with a 340 in it. Now if it was a fastback it would be worth 30. If it all good.![]()

1967 plymouth barracuda for sale by owner - Bakersfield, CA - craigslist
Asking $30,000 but guessing it sells for closer to $20.........
I'm just thinking the car will get nit-picked, nothing bad but for $30,000 you better believe it'll get brought up (black engine bay, smashed headers/exhaust dumps, A/C firewall without A/C, no 8 3/4, etc...)20 would be a good deal with a 340 in it.

as a buyer you want 20 as a seller you want 30, i think this splits the baby.I'm just thinking the car will get nit-picked, nothing bad but for $30,000 you better believe it'll get brought up (black engine bay, smashed headers/exhaust dumps, A/C firewall without A/C, no 8 3/4, etc...)
the sum of the parts is worth that.
