No mechanical problems have ever been experienced with this car.
The deck panel above the trunk lid rusted through underneath the vinyl top.
I have never experienced a mechanical problem with this car, and have needed to make no repairs since acquiring it.
The drive train is very good, and the transmission is very tight.
The 340 gives this car real barn-burning, tire-shredding performance.
The simple design is extremely appealing, with no power brakes, a foot-pumped windshield washer, and easily accessible dash lights.
340 hay. Sounds like a rocket to me. The lightweight formula is key. Unibody Zbart cars are the light heavyweight champ.
You are right about the base models being the way to go. Even if equipped with the factory engine/drive train, they can still be purchased for a reasonable amount, leaving money in the bank for resto plans or performance upgrades.
I still can't believe the last Barret Jackson auction, they sold a 1973 Cuda #'s matching, restored and of course in good shape. when I left the room for a minute the bid was at $30,000 and had only gone up $1,000 by the time I returned with beer in hand. They had trouble prying even a $32,000 bid out. Everything on my car that is white, on it was black. 340 4 gear. Needless to say if the opportunity ever arises again, I will be the proud owner of not just a Barracuda. I don't care what it takes!
