I would buy the barracuda but the owner does not want to part with it. I would buy it for parts. It will fall apart when moved.
Not a long list of parts on the poor thing.
The barracuda appears to have originally been GJ3 Meadow Green. I've not seen this color on a 72 yet. Unfortunately no fender tag, but a friend of the family might actually have it.Does the Cuda look rebuildable to any of you out there?
I do not think it is feasible possible to rebuild this car. Rusted bottom. roof is collapsed from a tree, that bent both B pillars and the quarter panels inward. Package tray is bent inwards. Oh, did I mention there is not really a bottom to the car? Unibody.
Again, Savable would be a term used for a hemi car in this condition. Or someone who just really really , and I mean really wants into the ebody world.
challenger is on the ground as well. unibody rust, I'm sure of. Even if I couldn't confirm the rust, I couldn't see it due to the amount of build up around the car and inside the car. These Uni's just don't hold up on the ground like this. No fender tag on this one either.
And that's that.

Too bad "Nicks Hoard" is in Florida where it's all pretty much turned into junk. 
Thank you for posting about those poor cars. It'd be great if you could type the VINs for records, as many of them are hard to decipher.
I'll take one: DL23L0D251221 -- an FQ3 Light Turquoise Polara Custom without vinyl top and with a black vinyl interior. Must have looked great back in the day!

The first thing that ran through my mind when scanning through these pictures was the CDB song, The Legend of Wooley Swamp.
That's one heck of a find @cuda hunter Too bad these weren't discovered 20 years ago.

Tragic.
Surprisingly enough, a local fella that builds hot rods is planning on pulling that polara and rat rodding it. Not restoring or anything of that nature.
He said it's a waste of a car to not do something to it since it is a two door.
They don't seem too scared of this rust down there.

I would like to list all the vin's that I took pictures of. Just have not had the time and thought it important to get these pics out there in case a few of them can be saved for parts.
Please note if anything stands out as rare or odd. I know very little about imperials but want to learn more.
My C body goals are a 70 SFGT Fury of course. Then a 72 Imp and then a 300 or hurst. So I'm looking for myself as well.
But Cuda's are the first prize I'm always after.

Do any of you have opinions about the value of 100o bucks on the cars? Is that too much? Seems like there are plenty of little parts that could be saved that would be worth 1K or possibly 500.

I would say $500 each and some of them would get pulled out of there and used for parts, at $1k I doubt many move from there. If they were closer to me I would buy a bunch at $500 and stick them with my other junk.
