I have a 71 Plymouth Barracuda that I purchased 30+ years ago, the car was a 383 2 barrel non running and not together. I've spent too much money and too many years assembling the car and I'm giving up so the car (project) is for sale. The engine is a stroked 440 (512 CI) with a stroker kit purchased from 440 Source, stealth aluminum heads, 1.6 roller rockers, a fluid damper, MSD ignition, a CH4B intake, and Holley 870 4 barrel carb. The engine produced 540 HP and 600 ft lbs. of torque at 4000 RPM. The transmission was rebuilt by an experienced transmission shop and is connected to a 3000 RPM stall converter. The power steering was rebuilt by Lahrs in Princeton MN and the pump is as are the hoses all from Classic Industries. The seat frames were blasted and powder coated with new foam and leather upholstery (front seats have leather inserts per Legendary Upholstery) and installed by a reputable Upholstery shop. Front torsion bars, rear springs, and all components are from PST with Urethane bushings and 1 1/4 inch sway bar. Rear Sway bar is a 7/8 Hell-wig unit that bolts under a rebuilt Dana 60 (4.10 ratio) for clearance required by TTI full 3 inch exhaust. The car has a Gear Vendors overdrive that makes the final drive 3.23. The car has all new wiring harnesses, a new package tray with insulation, new headliner (installed), new sun visors and rear view mirror. All new weatherstripping, a new 100 amp alternator, a new High Torque mini starter, a slap stick on the floor, new carpet, hush matt installed on the floor and inside of the roof. New master cylinder, brake booster, proportioning valve, brake lines, rotors (all 4 wheels drilled and slotted), rebuilt calipers (new Dr Diff units on the rear axle), new fuel lines, fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel filter. The car is painted Plum Crazy, has gilled front fenders and a shaker hood new from AMD and Classic Industries. The car has factory driving lights, straightened and re-chromed bumpers, a 26 inch wide aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, new Daytona 500 wheels (15 x 7 front, 15 x 8 rear), new BF Goodrich TA radials (235 x 60 x 15 front, 255 x 60 x 16 rear). Interior needs assembly, car needs dash pad, windshield, rear window installed, wiring finished, steering column installed, hood installed, front alignment. The car was purchased in Nevada 30+ years ago in pieces, I should have brought the car to a frame shop t have it checked before doing any work to it but I did not (the passenger door opening is too tight, the inner door panel hits the rear inner door pane when you try and close the door and it looks like the door is forward already). The trunk lid also sits high on the passenger side once the weather strip is installed. I'm tired of this project, $40,000 gets a new owner and I'll throw in a 16 foot Skeeter Bass boat, with 115 HP Evinrude, and Easy Load trailer. Have titles for everything. If interested I can provide pictures and receipts...
