I'd want to see a lot more pic's before dropping 16k on it. Not saying it isn't worth the money, but it is obviously
not a stock rebuild and who knows what the rest looks like. No need to worry about fender tag or build sheet. But
how is the body work, frame rails? What's been done to the engine?
If I cant fix it, it's broke

Seems a little high to me but then again we need to know more about the drive-train.  What about the suspension?  Is it stock or aftermarket?
Brakes ditto?
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

If it's solid I don't see a problem.....In my area you couldn't build that car for $16K.....Heck decent paint jobs are $10K alone :dunno:
I've taught you everything you know.....but I haven't taught you everything I know !

Welcome to the site and if that's the car that YOU want and that's the price that YOU are OK with, then go for it, but also listen to the good advice you've already been given.  :wave:

As others have said, if the frame and body are in good shape and the drivetrain is solid, it's probably worth the money. You couldn't create a duplicate for that amount.   :grinno:
