Check this out and let me know what you think this thing is worth please..I think it has lots of eye appeal but is also kind of restomod and missing orig motor etc...

That's a sharp car.  :2thumbs: I couldn't really give a value though, maybe 25-30K.  :dunno:

Very nice looking car!  Needs a wee bit of TLC in the interior but looks nice.  Looks like all the hard stuff has been done.  Nice that it has all the original metal!  :thumbsup:

Wonder what the winning bid is going to be.  $17,600.00 with 5 days and 4 hours to go.  Price is certainly getting up there for a '73! 

Sure it's not #s matching and all but if you think of all the nice mods he's done it might be worth it if that's your flavor.

I would check the VIN.  This car may not have started life originally as a 'Cuda.  Only 12 of the 13 #s are there.

The car has eye appeal. I myself like the way the interior is done. With it being $17500 already and the reserve not being met I would guess he wants around 25K for it. If you really are interested PM him and ask what it would take to buy the car at a BIN price. He may be willing to do this and it won't hurt to try.

It's a very nice car.  If you want it, just get it. You only live once. You could be gone next week.

  If you tried to build one, how many years would it be before you get to drive it?   The only thing I would add to that car is A/C and a bigger radiator,  but that's just me. It's a good color too and will be easy to sell later.

I wouldn't go any more than $26k myself, but you never know what people are asking for them. I've seen people asking $70k for a 73 small block! Either way, you'll spend at least another $25 to fix up a  $7k project car, and it'll be years before you can drive it. If you like it, go for it, and be cruising this summer.
