The market is getting so bad you will soon, if not today, be able to buy 2 halfway decent 74's for the cost of restoring this Cuda.  You are not destroying it by parting it.  It is already destroyed.  At least it can be a donor to get other Cuda's going.

Oh yes, they are definitely ridiculous !! But then, most who part out on ebay are over pricing their parts.

He purchased it for 1250.00. 
I offered 800 but she wouldn't take it.
They said 1250 was what they wanted bottom line.

Let me see if I got this straight.  Elevenrussians bought the car for $1250 and is now parting it out.  Sounds like Free Enterprise to me.  Their prices may be high and they may relist several times dropping the price until the listed fender sells.  Their feedback is good for selling used parts.  It is hard to please everyone with used parts.  They give several pics.  I can't see what is wrong here.  I wish Cuda Hunter could have got the car. Other than that :dunno:

Nothing wrong here! I'm sure they will find their mark (or marks) and make some decent money doing it.

This shows where the market is going. I am seeing more cars and parts for sale cheap right now then I have ever seen since the 80's.  I have been in the same location with the same phone number for 25 years.  People are coming out of the woodwork with parts and cars.  I am like everyone else.  I can't buy it all.  I did trade a box of silver coins for a NOS 70 Rallye Instrument cluster.  I figure I'll never see another one of those around. I just got asked about two '68 Cuda 383 4 speed cars today. I'm going to see what is up with them sometime soon. It used to be hard to find one for sale.  This guy has a pair. The market devaluation is scary. I keep waiting for it to bottom.

Well, it hasn't hit the bottom yet.  Way too many people without jobs.

I put an add in the paper as I am looking for an employee.
Add was for 8.50 an hour. figured I would only get beginners.
I got over 80 calls from guys ranging from 5 years to 30 years experience.
That's alot of calls for two weeks.

I kind of hope it keeps going down, as I really need some rubber bumpers and some rear window vinyl trim.
Few other expensive items.

I wish Cuda Hunter could have got the car.

He could have and I would have bought some parts from him if he chose to sell them. He didn't, I didn't and now Gougy-McGouge is parting it out.

I wish a few of my other cars would sell.  I would have had the cash to have purchased it, probably for parts, but ya never know.

That challenger I had was in close to as bad of shape.  Different type of rust, same amount.
I was going to do the restore on it.  glad I didn't in the long run.
