Thanks for looking, listing this my friend.HE does not want anything to trade, NO TRADES, cash only. For sale is a RED 1970 Plymouth Barracuda convertible. The yellow 1971 barracuda is not for sale, it's just the red one. If you have ever wanted a drop top mopar, this may be the car for you. Most of these cars for sale have been converted to hemi's and selling for $100k-$140k, which most folks can't afford and built a way most folks may not want done. Even the project cars are going for over huge coin, which limits This one is all there and ready for your summer cruising. This is a fly in and drive home car and is fully registered and insured. Tom is the 3rd owner of this car and bought it from the second owner that had owned it from 1972-2003. BODY: Nice body, very straight, good 5ft paint job that was done in the 1970's. Driver quality with minor nicks, scratches and a few small dings. Paint has held up nicely though, probably from all the years it was garage stored. Something about a low mileage car like this is how it drives. Since it was barely driven, this car does not have that flexy, soft, sagging in the body that happens to convertibles. Feels good down the road, really nice solid, firm ride and most restored cars with tons of panel replacment won;t have compared to original factory panels. There is a mild amount of minor peppering surface rust starting on the passenger side lower quarter panel, probably won't need a patch panel, probably just a clean up and color paint. Trunkpan on passenger side has gotten some rust through, but can be patched easily (rubber trunkmat held in a water and rusted it) and will not need a full trunk replacement, just a small patch as the rest is very solid. Rest of the car looks superb with no rust in the floors, fenders, doors, hood, trunklid, framerails or any other part of the car. I took the time to post all the usual problem ereas that are common to rust on these cars, and as you can see in the pics, this car is nearly rustfree and perfect! Yes, hard to believe a 1970 Barracuda with almost NO rust and in excllent condition, that is a very hard car to find! Grill is very nice original piece, has 1971 mirrors installed, Duel exaust rear valnce with NOS tips. Top looks original with a small rip over the lower rear passenger side, factory chrome in in very nice condition and still pretty shiny for it's age. Bumpers are straight and chrome is driver quality. INTERIOR:Car has a very nice interior with console, clean seats, good panels and set backs, pretty nice dahspad (there is an alarm light in the speaker grill so the speaker cover is pushed up alittle). Converted to floorshift a few years ago, gauges work really nice. Has stock am radio in it and factory seat belts. DRIVETRAIN: Radiator was upgraded to a 22in and rebuilt by Glen Ray Radiators, has the 7 blade 246 fan and fan shrould. 318 is original to the car. Crank kit with new crank, rod and main bearings installed along with high volume oil pump with mopat Performance 268 cam installed. Unleaded police 1985 cylinder heads were installed with hipo 340 exaust manifolds, Demon 580cfm carburetor on LD340 intake with aftermarket air cleaner and upgraded to electronic ignition. Frontend has power steering, upgraded to disc brakes, Upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends, idler arm all replaced. Car has 15x7 Rally chrome wheels and nice BFG tires. A replacment 904 transmission was installed and has 1000 miles on it, original transmission case comes with the car. Overall car is very nice driver and would make a great summer cruiser with needing a little tlc from all the years it was garaged stored, Though the car is very nice, just a little bit of tlc is needed to make it even better.
