After blowing donuts on the Head Selectman's lawn, the first thing I'd do with this sweet machine is crash a Mustang club meeting (smashed on Twin Fin wine), make snotty remarks about "johnny-come-latelys", and bore them all to shit with trivia about my "1964 1/3" Barracuda.
@TRLennon: It would ordinarily have had a 273. What it should have, though, is a Slant Six with a hot cam, a dual exhaust and a Hyper Pak 4bbl manifold.
There are many reasons to hate this car, and few of them have anything to do with the car itself.
A wild-eyed longhair with no sense of responsbility rear-ended my whole family in our tiny Opel Kadett many many moons ago. He hit and ran. He was eventually caught, but the Opel was never fixed. He drove a Barracuda.
I got knocked off my bike by a Barracuda. Actually, I think it was a mutual screwup between us, but the Barracuda was there.
Anything that reminds people of clothes-grafting fundie drill baby drill nutjob Sarah Palin is too much of a bad thing. No, no, no. Sure she's pretty. She's also a blotch on the already stained record of the Republican party.
So DIE 'CUDA DIE! But understand, it's nothing against you personally.
This is a beautiful car, lovely looking, very neat and very clean, definitely a nice price in my book.
However, this is another one of those cars men appreciate and the majority of women (our beloved Jalopchicks excepted, of course) see as a machine that ought to be in a junkyard or crushed.
Now if only they'd stop spending all that money on bags and shoes and we can fulfill our childhood fantasies (of the automotive type, I mean).
(I'm pretty sure they saying the opposite on Jezebel)
I will take it, drop in new trans maybe 5 speed with OD it become a good daily driver... I would $7000 getting this one road ready then $7000 on any new Chrysler product... now if someone were to give me a Viper or Challenger I would not refuse it.

This price is just too nice. I'd feel guilty.

I used to waterski there. Spent many a morning on that dock in the background.

"Baba Rara Cucu Dada?"
"Still...not right...."
"Well, it ain't Barracuda, man...but I think we got a hit record!"

*Cool vintage 60's off beat body style
*Calif OG black plate car
*Built V8
*4 speed with requisite Hurst shifter
*Sweet old skool "anti-dubs" slot mags, which are prolly worth a fortune
*Plenty of DIY work to be done, but nothing too expensive or PCHish
*Price is right in the Jalopnik wheel house
*Sold by a caring, passionate owner, just like most of us
What's not to like here? Peel off the decals and enjoy. Nice price, for sure
