Yes Richard Ward had the GB5 '71 440-6 Cuda. He did a full rotisserie restoration. It was absolutely gorgeous. He sold it to a collector in Sweden.

...and he had my wheels off my '71 'Vert Barracuda as it originally came with 14" Wheels. His attention to detail was superb.

Thanks Jim

So it appears that it went to Sweden rather than the US. Does anybody have any photo's they could post ?

Here you go Martin. Len had a private plate on it, so I guess another J plate was allocated to it when Richard bought it.

Thanks Adam

According to the DVLA the last mot expired on the 22.4.2007 so it looks like it left the country around 2006-2007. Thanks for posting the pictures. Rare car, only around 237 built in 71.

great photos Adam! The 71 front end with a shaker hood is my definition of the holy grail E body. Just when you think they cant make the 70 any better, along came the 71 =P~ =P~
