1973 Plymouth Barracuda Cuda' Description

This was a Georgia car, I purchased it out of Florida a few years back. The only thing I've done to the car, is open up the quarters to reveal the extent of repair. This car needs a lot of work, but it's a nice candidate for a numbers matching restoration. Never crashed, and the frame dimensions are all within factory specs...
I'm trying to be as forthcoming as I can with my pictures and description, I want the potential buyer to understand exactly what they're getting into here. This is a project best suited for somebody with some serious restoration experience, and deep pockets...That being said, I appreciate you taking the time to read the ad, and if you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to message me...This car easily rolls and steers, and will be no problem loading on a trailer. Comes with four original rally wheels, on junk tires that hold air, suitable for shipping.

1973 Cuda, built on 10/31/1972, with numbers matching 340...Clean title and matching fender tag, that also matches the rad support and upper cowl numbers...No Build Sheet!

340 auto, pwr steering, pwr disc brakes, 8 3/4 rear end, front and rear sway bars, gold poly with black stripes, dual color keyed mirrors, wheel opening trim, black Interior, console floor shift.

.
Roof is nice, has a few minor dents, and a only a couple tiny pinholes near the drip rail at the quarter seam...
Rear filler/Dutchman's panel, rear window opening, windshield opening, windshield posts, trunk gutters, all nice...
Floors are decent, with the exception of the front foot wells, easy patch...
Inner and outer rockers are solid, some light pitting, but solid! Other than what you see on the right hand outer, near the wheelhouse, under the window regulator...Easy patch...
Front frame rails, torsion mount crossmember, very solid...
Upper Cowl, lower cowl very solid, easy patch near brake booster. Door hinge pillars, door jambs, all clean and solid...
Doors are complete, but have light surface rust and small dents, glass and hardware all there...
1973 Texas Fenders, very nice, you will be hard pressed to find a nicer oem pair...Some light surface rust at the bottom that will literally steel wool off...
Grille is excellent...Never broken or cracked, never repaired...
Two hoods... The original is easily savable, but just not worth the expense. I have a beautiful oem replacement hood out of San Diego that goes with the car...
Bumpers and brackets are nice and straight...Obviously need to be rechromed…
Have most of the stainless trim in excellent condition.

.
Trunk Floor was replaced, somebody just tacked it in, its a two piece...Can easily be cut out and done right...
Needs trunk drop offs
Needs rear frame rails replaced, or can use frame patch panels midway between the rear shock mount and rear cross member...
Needs inner and outer wheel house's replaced...Comes with brand new left and right AMD outer wheelhouses, and one new AMD left hand inner wheelhouse.
Needs inner fender aprons...
Needs quarters...My intentions were to replace with complete panels, but you could repair with skins if you so choose.
Deck Lid is actually nice, savable...no rust other than the typical separation at the rear seam...Comes with an AMD replacement...

.
Everything is pretty much all there but will need to be restored...
