History:
Delivered in 1973 in the USA, it remained there until 2018 when it was imported to Europe.
This Barracuda underwent a full restoration from 2014 to 2016. During this restoration, the frame was exposed, repaired, treated and repainted. The Cuda stripes were applied. The black vinyl soft top was redone. The interior upholstery was redone, including the floor carpeting, headliner and door trims. Once the bodywork was restored:
A like new overhauled Cuda 440 engine was mounted, an Edelbrock carburettor and all Mopar performance accessories were fitted. The accessories (generators, radiators, timing belt, ...) are new.
The front axles, petrol tank, exhausts and tyres are new.
The rear body height is adjustable (air pressure).
The cost of this restoration was US$60,000.
This Cuda, since being imported to Europe in 2018, has passed the TÜV in Germany, is registered in Germany and has a TÜV which is valid until April 2023, where it was classified as a classic car.
This vehicle is in excellent condition and needs no further work. It drives, brakes and changes gears perfectly. The interior lights work, the headlights have been adapted to European standards, the indicators and hazard warning lights work.
An appraisal of this Barracuda was done by an expert in July 2021, who gave it a rating of 2 and an estimated value of over €50,000.
