  If it's truly rust free I don't think it's to much.   :2cents:                :rebel:

A lot of parts are missing too... But the price is real considering the prices we see on 'cudas that need total restoration.

If total restore, would probably have more money in it, than you could sell it for.
I say, focus on the drive train, and make a street racer.

Way high. It will be what a $25k car if followed through to nice paint, interior and driving condition? It will take a lot of $$$ to get it there. There's a reason cars like this are easy to find, the owners know what it will take to finish them. If it was an original 340 and up Cuda then maybe.

 :iagree: People don't seem to understand that it is the details and small parts that suck down the money. I agree that there could be a lot hiding under that primer. Despite being reportedly new, the wheels suck. A "brand new"440 will most likely come with its own issues. IMO, far too much, $10 might even be high depending on what is hiding but much closer than what it is listed as.
Current Mopar
70 Challenger RT 440-6 EFI, 73 Cuda 416-6 EFI

Past Mopars
9 x Challengers. AAR Cuda, 4 RR, 2 GTX, 4 Chargers, etc... (too many to list)

moral of story: Always try to find a car that's already done, with most all the parts already there!
People know you can almost never sell a car for what you have into it!

I'd question the accuracy of everything in that post.

Guy doesn't even say what rear end is in it, just "biggest rear end they had that year". So likely a dana 60, but why not just say that? Could be an 8 1/4 as that's what a 318 usually had.
Cuda is gone :(

 :iagree:Maybe lying but i don't think so. I would make a visit and take a look at the car personally. The guy said come see it, which i think is good news. Maybe he just isn't a Mopar guy.
