Hello everyone, here's my #s matching '70 Barracuda 383 2BBL/727

Been snooping around for quite a while, thought I'd join in finally!

aboard.

Sweet looking ride! Love the stance.
I see it has a black grill. Any chance of checking out the fender tag?
Is it originally an L code car? BHLoB?

 

[Rapidfire]

Welcome aboard Winston! Great looking 70! Nice to see another Nebraskan on FEBO! What part of the state are you from?

 

[WinstonWolfe]

@Cuda Hunter yup it's an L code car. L0E. Here's the tag:

Pretty cool options and color combo on it.

@Rapidfire From Arlington.. about 30 minutes northwest of Omaha. How about you?

Welcome to the site from Arkansas!
Glad you’re here. Can’t miss that black grille!

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Sweet Cuda!

 

[Rapidfire]

About 60 minutes south of North Platte.

These comments about the black grille have me wondering...
It's supposed to be argent silver, right? The only ones with a black one were AARs, correct or no?

 

[fasjac]

I think yours came with argent. Not sure but, they look good black. 383 2bbl right?

Kind of correct. AAR's came with the black grills for sure. Well, most did when the black grills were actually available at the factory.
However, the M46 that had a black out on the entire bottom of the car and on the tail panel would have also came with the black grill.
Now, I can't find any actual written information about the black grill on the m46, but I've seen a few that have had them. And it makes sense.
Search M46 on this site if you are wondering what that is. Lots of different features on that option. I'm always looking for them.

Those are some cool options for sure. The red and white interior is a very difficult interior to find on a car. Not a very common color combo but definitely one of my top favorite color combos. And to add to all that it came with the V5W! White protective moldings with white pin stripes around the moulding.
That is one slick looking car for sure. I think the only thing I would change would be a white vinyl top instead of a black.
So you still have the original motor and transmission? Makes that car even better!
Super cool car !!

 

[WinstonWolfe]

@Cuda Hunter kinda weird it has a black vinyl top, right? What were they thinking??

I even still have the mouldings... Those are probably pretty hard to find I'm guessing haha

Yup, completely original. Runs and drives perfect, too. In fact, I drove it from Nebraska to Maryland and back without any problems besides really small normal stuff.

Winston to FEBO from New Jersey
Nice L code Cuda!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Wow! 1400 miles is a long trip, much less to do it twice. That's one awesome car just because of that.

The V5 moldings are very difficult to find. I only have some challenger ones although I am looking for a cuda set.
Keep them if you plan on putting them back on as you won't find another set very easily. If you decide to sell them, I'm your man.
No one remakes the rubber insert so keep those parts as well. Even if they are falling out, keep them.

 

[WinstonWolfe]

@Cuda Hunter I'm about 90% certain I still have them and they're in fairly okay shape. What are they worth? Unfortunately I'm a state away from them right now or else I'd take some pictures of them.

 

[Chryco Psycho]

Welcome to the site from Panama , cool Cuda too !

 

[Cuda Hunter]

I'd love to see pictures of them. I've only got a picture of these white moldings on a finished car.
Did the car have a build sheet that you have been able to find? Being an LA car I would assume not, but every once in a while a build sheet would sneak it's way out of that E factory.
