I really like the first and second one, but the third one isnt at a bad price yet. 

IMO, I like the first one.  No rust.  Saves a lot of headaches.  #'s matching, too.

Dont see at this point how you could say which is a good deal considering they are auctions.  Also Id say ebay is the last place to get a deal on something like that.  That first one does look good, even in primer!

Do you know the reserves on each car? Whats your price range?  I always look for west coast cars and consider them first. Even with shipping cost, virgin metal with no rust is a big plus in my way of thinking now adays.  I see the cars you posted have had work done replacing sheet metal and such. That in itself always throws up a red flag to me.  Hope it works out for you and good luck...ALAN

I tend to like the first one best but it would all depend on the price they get bid up to.

I have $35000 to spend on a Cuda.

Where should I look for one?

There was one out my way for 32,9 real nice 70 gran coupe with a 440 I believe.  Compared to others I say in similar shape it was 10-15k less... its on moparts.

I've got a 73 'Cuda for 20k.......real cheap.....in great condition too.....

I'd say the first or second one, but would lean more towards the one that didn't meet it's reserve. (the second one)  For the money, you may as well get one that came with a 340 from the factory and still retains a 340 under the hood.   The first car states it currently has a 340, but isn't date-coded and the car was originally equipped with a 318.  Maybe contact the seller to see if the highest bidder accepted to purchase it for a higher price or if it's still on the market and deal with him as if it was a local sale. (Provided he doesn't want to stick it on eBay for another round.)

1st 2 cars look nice, but if I were you i'd look for a factory a/c car.  Both those cars are in Florida and neither has a/c.  I know a lot of people will say prices are going to keep going up, but I don't agree.  Take your time and find something complete.

The housing market was going crazy here in Florida the last 3yrs, it's now a buyer's market, prices have dropped 20-25%.  Same thing will happen with these cars.  EVERYTHING goes in cycles.

Go with #2, its got paint and all it looks like it needs is the center caps changed to the 70 model.
