Hey Alan, is it the "H" that puts it there vs a BS Cuda?

[73_Cuda_4_Me]

b-barracuda
h-price class high
23-2 dr hardtop
h-340 1 4bbl la HP engine
3-73
b-Hamtramck Assembly plant
56052-sequence number

[anlauto]

Yup

[73_Cuda_4_Me]

So what determined the difference between an H class and an S class?

[anlauto]

One's a Barracuda and the other a Cuda....lots of differences in the standard options.

[73_Cuda_4_Me]

...and any idea of how many S class Cudas?

I've only been able to pin down to 1 of over 4000 units with 340 auto... like column shift but still with bucket seats..

[73_Cuda_4_Me]

Probably a dumb question, but shouldn't there be one more digit in sequence number? (Like a leading zero)

Sounds about right...4500 or so...

A lot of good info, so what do you think it worth in the shape I described ?

$1500-2000.  Cost you $70k to restore and will be worth $30-35k in the end.

Sounds rough. How much is he asking?   

[anlauto]

  So true 

$1500-2000.  Cost you $70k to restore and will be worth $30-35k in the end.
