I went ahead and listed my Barracuda for sale in a few places, one of which was an a-body forum. It’s been up for a few hours, and I don’t have much interest in buying it whole. But I do have a lot of people interesting in buying small, shippable parts.

That is not, of course, what I want to do. But really, is it the worst thing if I pull the parts people want right away, and then stuff the car out behind my house when more orders trickle in before sending it to the scrapper sometime before winter? Its the long road, but it’s probably the one where I make back the most money.

I think at this point the only parts I’m keeping are the transmission and shifter. I’m fine with that, if I don’t find something to put the A833 in, it’s probably the single easiest part of the car to sell.

We’ll see how it goes. I'm going to give it a few days, and if nobody wants to buy it, I'll start parting it out. Good times.

That’s a slightly better starting point for a project car than my Barracuda. The box that hard drive came in is likely a better starting point as well.

I stumbled upon this a few days ago https://providence.craigslist.org/cto/5655235099…

That rear glass is very complicated and I doubt anyone makes reproductions. You could sell that for a very pretty penny.

What I would do is find the largest classic car show you can. There’s always a section of people selling car parts. Disassemble as much of the car a you can and set up your own booth.

What's funny about the rear glass is that when the cars first came out, anybody who wrecked one thought the rear glass would be worth a lot...so everybody kept them, and they're not worth much at all as a result. Looks like it's gonna get parted out, which kinda sucks but isn't the worst thing in the world.
