I just made a deal on a pretty nice 1973 Barracuda but the options on this one are a little odd. It has a build sheet but no fender tag. Its a BH23H3B vin with a column shift. It is B5 blue with blue interior. Is it rare or is it just something I haven't seen in awhile? Either way its a keeper and I'm going to enjoy driving it... Thanks for any input and I'll post pics after I pick it up.

Just bought a 73 barracuda myself. It's a BH23H car also with a ton of options, front and rear sway bar, buckets console, double scoop hood, high performance cooling, power steering with cooler, side stripes, and dual exhaust tips. All the cuda options except the cuda badge.

There were less than 20,000 built total. About 9000 were BS 'Cudas. Most 73s were G 318s. Most were automatics. The Medium blue bright blue interior was popular but there are no break downs of colors, interiors or anything like that around. Craig

Needs to be cleaned up a little. The previous owner peeled off some bumper guards on the drivers side and it took a lot of paint with it. I think it will be painted over the winter.

Engine runs great but it feels a little restricted. Maybe a carb change will wake her up.

Paint flaws, should I keep the top? Also I have a nice build sheet but no fender tag.. How much does Galen charge to reproduce one?

Yes and the one big mistake I'm sure everyone noticed is the rear marker lights. I think the only solution is when the car gets paint I will fill in the sections with metal. Maybe I'll fill in the front lights also to match....
