Many are attempting to get max $ since they see Mecum and B-J E-Bodies getting higher sale prices this year. The auction sales I have seen were much more desirable models and were in much better condition. Example: Loaded red Challenger T/A with factory louvers (non-matching T/A engine) at...

Not my car. There are lots of photos on the provided link. It could be a northern rust bucket for all we know. These consignment places negotiate so it could be had for far less $. Most presentable Cudas can go for $60k plus so caveat emptor.

Not my car. Just posting for anyone interested in buying a 1970 Cuda 340 located in Ruskin, Florida at Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa. Ad says asking price is $90,000. LINK VIN BS23H0B171449 Sand Pebble Beige (BL1) with H6T5 - Tan interior with C16 - Console, D32 - Automatic, A62 - Rallye...

Show some pics of this "brown" interior. Are you changing a factory T7 - Tan interior to X9 - Black? I love the rare non-black interiors. Properly done, these are very desirable.

@Raycuda and I have a solid Mopar group of four cruisers who go to cruises and shows almost every weekend. Our radius is about 60 plus minutes (actual miles varies). Traffic is a factor so we use off-expressway routes where possible. We also have a loose-knit Mopar group that extends from the...

An EK2 Go Mango Challenger T/A (JH23J0B304120) sold at Mecum Kissimmee 2026 for $143,000 on Friday, January 16th, 2026. This was a very nicely restored T/A with Standard Instruments, C16 Console, G36 Dual Racing Mirrors, and D21 4-Speed with the optional for T/A D57 3.91 rear axle. The...

An FE5 Red Challenger T/A (JH23J0B296662) sold at Mecum Kissimmee 2026 for $143,000 on Friday, January 16th, 2026. This was a well-optioned T/A with the extremely, rare A44 Louvers & H5X9 Houndstooth Interior, A62 Rally Instruments, C16 Console, D21 4-Speed, G36 Dual Racing Mirrors, and R35...

There is a visceral experience driving a 4-Speed (or 5-Speed) E-Body with Hurst Pistol Grip. So much better with the close-ratio TKX 0.68 overdrive 5th gear and hydraulic clutch.

I just received the similar fuel cap today (1/9/26). It fits and will work. To the aftermarket: Find or make us a repro cap for a reasonable price!

Ray's car is a 1970 Cuda 340 Automatic with Standard Instrument Cluster. I agree with those who are checking electrical/charging system issues. Loss of Alternator/Battery power to the electrical system and ignition. The 1970 Barracuda full electrical diagram is helpful for troubleshooting.

I was looking at the Lost Muscle Cars Group on Facebook and happened upon this 1971 Cuda 340 Shaker 4-Speed (BS23H1B222437). About 11 years ago (~2014), a previous owner posted on this group saying he was looking for this Cuda so I responded with what I know about the car. I also found out via a...

That cap, while not visually correct, seems to be the right size (1-1/2" opening). I may consider getting that one. Here are some details on the 1970 filler neck opening dimensions for reference. There has got to be a more visually correct Stant, Gates, or MotoRad cap out there. The cap must be...

What is the Dash VIN? After a little enhancement (result below), removing the pixelation via blurring, the actual crisp imprints of each numeral reveal it is most likely as Cuda Hunter determined, 425482. EDIT: OP posted the other VINs (Dash, Door Decal, Fender Tag) are all 425492 so this is a...

I do not know about the Auto Custom Carpets fitment but the OER carpet kit ME600501 from Classic Industries fit perfectly in the area giving you problems. Even the rear section was a tight fit in that area before the front section was installed at the overlapped area.

For the original OP, a Broadcast Sheet is like a birth certificate and a fender tag is like a detailed ID card. Essentially, the bona fides for the car. Any E-Body is better with these items and the fender tag’s absence is detrimental no matter the model. Repro fender tags can be had for far...
