    new guy here from North shore, MA
    « on: August 23, 2011 - 07:54:25 PM »
    Hi everyone, I was reading this site for a while now and decided to join. I owned a 73 Cuda about 10 years ago and I'm looking to buy another cuda or challenger and I know this site will help in what ever problems may occur. Also I will help anyone I can.

    Welcome to the group!  :cheers:  Great bunch of folks here.

    Keep an eye on Craigs list.  I seen a few pop up here in NH, but I've also seen a few in MA as well.

    How much work do you want to do on it, full restoration, or ready to show?

    Excellent!  Have you purchased it, or still thinking about it?  :money:  Have any photos or specs?  :picture:

    Unless you get super lucky...you'll never get the money out of a car that you put into it...especially when you factor in your labor :)

    I don't think 15k isn't out of line for a 70s vert depending on numbers match, build sheet, condition and options.

    I recommend you take lots of pictures and post them here and I'm sure several members will let you know their opinions.  Make sure you check the trouble spots (the floor, trunk pans, fire wall, frame rails, around the cowl, etc).
