70 BARRACUDA/ CUDA CLONE
VERT FOR SALE
$83,000 OBO/ PARTIAL MOPAR TRADES
CONSIDERED.
OK, here is what I have for sale. This car is not a perfect
rotisserie or correct car because I did it my way, but it is a beautiful car.
Most things are complete but there are some small items to finish, very small
nick nacks and such.
Here is what I have for sale.
Originally a 70 Barracuda 318 Grand coupe convertible.
Now a 70 440-6 CUDA clone, recreation, what ever you want
to call it.
Car now has the following items
Real, NOT reproduction Shaker hood, shaker six pack
base plate and adapter ring, Repop bubble and real shaker vents. No fresh air
cable set up yet.
New rebuilt 72 440, forged crank with a brand new 6 pack set up, new rebuilt
727, new 8 ¾ Sure grip with 323 gears for cruising. It is a very nice driver
and has approx 10 miles on the rebuild. New TTI exhaust 2 ½ with beautiful TTI
polished exhaust tips. Console auto with slapstick, and a 71 or later console in
red. Car has new wiring harnesses in engine bay and I still need to install the
new tranny harness.
Car has rally gauges that I would rebuild. They look nice
but I was getting ready to take them out and send them off. I was actually going
to take them out and go newer style gauges.
Car has brand new paint, ( VIPER RED/ALSO NOT CORRECT COLOR FOR ERA) and is
STANDOX, a very fine German paint that I had painted over the PPG which was nice
but not as nice as this paint, which is expensive. This is a beautiful paint
job!
The car is not a correct car due to various changes and has had the driver side
quarter panel replaced with a quarter panel from an AAR Cuda, thus the antenna
hole is in the rear quarter panel, which I love and thus why I did it. The trunk
was replaced and I never drilled the body plug holes because I don’t intend on
having it out in the rain. So its not correct looking in this regard and wont
win any of the trophies shows like it is in an original category. I did this car
my way.
Car has brand new legendary interior in two tone black with red, new black
carpet and new door panels. I used a dash cap, As I absolutely refused to pay
the price for a new dash, so that would need to be completed if you want it
correct. Car comes with the A.M 8 track E body stereo, ( also an expensive item)
but I need the dash piece for the 8 track as I don’t have it and the current
dash piece covers the 8 track portion up. The 8 track also needs to be serviced
but that’s a cheap item for belt and such.
The car needs a new top as I have not done that yet. New top installed is a
cheap item. The power top hoses have been replaced and it works perfect. For the
asking price, I will replace the top!
This car has the correct 70-71 Go-wing deck lid and a go-wing, hockey stick,
Cuda gills on the rockers, ect. 15x8 date coded 70-71 Rally wheels.
This car has undergone a restoration for 10 plus years and runs, nice. It is no
trailer queen and has simply just sat in my shop since finished for the past
year or so. I am planning on retiring in two years and am selling it to start a
new home elsewhere, so I am in no hurry to sell it.
I would suggest that anyone who is interested in a car as expensive as this to
come look at it. The car’s dash VIN is missing. However, I have sanded off the
area around the cowl, so the VIN on the cowl can be seen, which matches the VIN
in the clear Nevada title. The dash had obviously been switched out when I
bought it almost 12 years ago. I will repaint the cowl area and install the
black wiper/cowl grates where this is after the seller is satisfied. The dashes
were routinely changed in these cars because they cracked.
There are obviously lots of little small things one could do to it if they were
so inclined to do so, but the big stuff is done. If your looking for a show
winner that’s correct in every way like color and all, then don’t look any
further. If you want something to drive and use, and make your own then this is
a beautiful and nice car. Come and check it out. It needs lots of little things
that I may do if I get the chance such as the overflow bottle and other small
items. None of these are difficult and as I get some time, can be done but are
easy little things.
If you wanted to, you could put a HEMI into it and make some money on it. I
don’t have the time/ energy to do so.
I really like the car, but am into the cars I can thrash around a bit more and
race and these converts have become too valuable to do that type of activity
with. I have babied this car and it really deserves to used more and I wont as I
am not a show type of person.
I am more of an old school guy and am getting into the Max Wedge era cars and
may consider a partial small trade of a 64 Polara vert or 64 Sport Fury/ fury
vert as a consideration. I may also consider a HEMI engine partial trade as I
have other cars to use a HEMI in or may consider other cars, 71 Cuda or
barracuda, ect as partial trade. These cars are very rare as I am sure you know
if you are looking for one. I may negotiate the price a bit if you do not want
the original shaker hood as they are very expensive and I could use it on my
other Cuda H.T
I have posted it here because I want a local buyer who can come and look at it
in person! Ebay involves too many questions and long distance buyers who cant
get here in a couple of hours. I am approx 2 ½ to three hours from the Bay area
and 7 hours North of Los Angeles.
The car is located in Smith Valley/ Wellington ,Nevada,
89444, zip and is an hour and a half South of Reno Nevada.
Please fell free to call me with any questions at 775-720-7574.
Thanks for looking. Dave
More pics coming, my camera just failed me.
