Welcome to the site and hope you find a 71 Cuda. Don't wait to long or the price may go up.
Unfortunately I don't have much choice on this. I have about $10k to go to get my Mustang where I want it to be and then the saving begins. Realistically, I am looking at about a $40k budget which will take about 5 years to amass.
As for prices going up, I am not sold on that yet. Gas prices are going up, green is the new black, people are looking for efficiency over power. I think well see a sharp decline in prices once these guys who sunk $30k into a junker to restore it start to sweat because money is tight.
Thanks for all the kind hellos though!
