1973 Cuda.....WIW
« on: November 03, 2015 - 02:45:32 PM »
Original 318 car, totally restored 2 years ago, less than 200 on rebuild, 2 hoods - factory and shaker, more info on website. My wife is looking at this and a few others but to do it she will have to sell her 2012 Challenger R/T which she has modified nicely.

Here's a video of it running that they sent to me:

Again boils done to a value based on "cost to build" ...Personally I think it's over priced by about $10K....but he may have spent lots on it. The rear seat is not "legendary products" nor is it original. The motor looks terrible with rust all over it, doesn't look "fresh" I quick paint job may be on top of original panels, but how much bondo is in between ?

If I was going to invest that kind of money I would want a more invest-able car like a numbers matching 1973 340 car...

I think your wife could to better... :2cents:

I personally would look for a 70-71 for about the same money you can start out with a better investment. It's going to cost you the same to fix up either car the 70-71's will be worth more in the end.

There's way better cars out there for less money than that one JMO

There's a really nice triple black 72 Challenger with a 408 stroker in my area that's way cleaner than this Cuda asking price is $17k could probably be bought for $15k

     Do ya think the photo guy got enough pics of the carburetor    :roflsmiley:   :smilielol:   Anyway I agree with Alan and 4406V.  I blew these 2 pics up, hood hinge area not pretty, crappy wiring, fender bolts upside down.    :roflsmiley:   Nope, Id pass @ that price.

Thanks everyone....my wife is looking for a non-numbers matching 'Cuda....440 and not a perfect car.  She's too obsessive with her Challenger and wants a driver.

I am pretty sure where you could get a pretty freshly done yellow and white Barracuda for 28999. :biggrin:
