My car is a BS23H1B 340 Cuda that I pulled out of a "barn" today. It was repainted at one time and ironically, the paint is pealing to bare metal in the shape of a bilboard. The fender tag code does have a V6X.
So...I guess it is a real bilboard car.
Thanks!
Yes and they're pretty rare....you're a lucky man!

You should share some more details on your car, such as color, etc. What a find! I'm sure most of us here would love to find something like that! Congrats!

Ive got it in the for sale section already. Can't afford to keep it. It belongs in the hands of someone who can restore it.
It sat in a wet, damp block building in Topeka Kansas. A friend told us about the car, but the owner didn't want to sell it. He called wednesday and said he'd sell it, one time only. So we picked it up. Only because we knew if we didn't do it now, it would continue to rust away. We almost didn't buy it.
Its all #'s matching, Fy1 yellow, buckets, console, auto, 340-4, AC, PS, MB, wood wheel, hood pins, bilboard stripe, black top and interior. Rocker mouldings, wheel lip mouldings.
It hasn't run in 10 years, but the motor is free.
I hope someone will make it as nice as "Barrel Cuda".

Just found your ad....neat car for sure. Is there a broadcast sheet? I've noticed A LOT of very cool projects popping up lately...People deciding they can't afford them at this time, or can't afford to restore them now. Unfortunatly right now we're in a time where restorations cost a lot of money and the value of restored cars is down. I'm sure with your asking price that you're making a enough profit to cover your time and expenses and such, but unfortunatly for the next guy, your buyer, there won't be enough room to come out of it ok if he intends on restoring it correctly.  Getting $50K+ out of a fully restored 1971 340 Auto car is pretty tough these days....  Believe me...I know.....says the guy asking $225K for his car

V6_ is the "sport stripe"
on a "BS" - 'Cuda it is the "billboard"
on a "BH" - Barracuda or "BP" - Gran Coupe it is pictured below -
(your talking about #5 in the picture right?)
On the BH or BP V6_ stripe, is that a vinyl stripe or is it painted like the V7_?
