Metal Bee, I feel your pain!! I fell in love with the Cuda roughly 30 years ago. I searched and saved until last December I bought one off Ebay. I paid more for a project Cuda then most people pay for a new car. I drove the car 4 times before sending it off to the body shop and if all goes well the body work will be completed next month. Life is funny when you take a step back, if you had 100k you could have a Cuda by the end of the week. You don't have crazy money, so you'll have to wait enough time to find the point that you can find one in your price range. BJ made people think they could get 1 million for a Cuda parts car, but they also made companies like AMD set it up to produce Cuda body parts. I don't post here often and did this time because 30 years of searching will make you crazy, but dreams should never come easy. I'm 46 years old and never sat in any Cuda until last year when I bought mine...I waited until I found "my dream car"!! Don't give up, save and search, best of luck J
