Picking up a 1970 Barracuda Slant Six 198CI 3 -speed manual with Console. FC7 with White interior.. Needs complete restoration.
DO YOU restore to original with six or convert to v-8 for FUN...

PICS soon...

Around 300 sold with the 198 & 3-speed total. The A93 Coupes were a mid year option, so they were not made the whole model year.

If it's a numbers matching car I'd restore it to original. If you'd rather have something with more kick I'd recommend selling it and getting a car that better suites your tastes, I know a couple guys who would REALLY like to have that car (who would restore it stock) if you need to move it.

You will get more attention with the car being a SIX than with another motor because everyone has done a swap to a bigger motor. I like seeing E Bodies with sixes in them it sure is a nice change to seeing every E Body with a Hemi in it now. How many 1970 Hemi Cudas were built in 1970? How many of these Barracudas were built with a six? It might not have that wow that things got a hemi when you raise the hood but but it would be a pleasant change to see a six in an E body at a car show.

I agree. If you want to impress the unwashed masses...put in a Hemi. If you want to impress your fellow enthusiasts, do something like this:

Rare, yes....desirable?, no, It needs a complete resto, then it's best off being cloned/rebodied to something more desirable IMHO

Leave the six in it, I bought a 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe post car in 73
230 six in it, Everyone back then said to put a 396 in it,
I left it the way it was, restored it nut and bolt
Still have it, and when the hoods up, I get more compliments than the BBlocks
It's kind of a neat thing
