    New to the Board and returning to the Hobby
    « on: April 28, 2005 - 10:53:24 PM »
    Aloha,
    I am was looking to get back into musclecars and return to the E-Bodies that I remember so fondly.  I had a couple of cars 21 years ago and really regret (especially now) selling them.  I am stationed in Hawaii and shipping of individual parts can significantly add to the cost of the build so one piece of advice I have already received was get one that is complete.  I was hoping for any advice I get from the members of this Board.  My dream car is a 70-71 Cuda 440 6 pack or Crate HEMI w/ 4 spd or a similar layout in a 70 Challenger.  I know a clone is the order of the day and I have been following a lot of different online sources for selling these cars.  I am of course a little limited on how much I can spend but I have seen a few great sweet deals come and go.  Again any help I could get or advice would be appreciatted.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the site.  For a completed 70-71 E body, with the 440-6, or HEMI, even clones, are gonna be alot of $$$.  Especially for 4 speeds.

     :iagree: I got to agree here - this isn't going to be one of those "budget" cars - good taste though!
    I've seen "clone" Hemi cars ripping through several tens of thousands already.
    Glad I got my big block 4 speed before the boom realy hit - haha, now that I think of it the guy sold me my car to do the resto on a 72 Vette - sucker.

    A good thought would be maybe to lean towards the, and I use it for lack of a better idea, less desireable 72-74 and drop your own big block into it.
    Even though I say less desireable, I'm only saying what the current "demand" seems to be for 70-71 and I love my 73.
