    Thanks for posting the pics. I'll try to get more this weekend.

    Not trying to rain on anybody's parade, as great as the car looks, it is a bit more difficult (okay, a LOT) to sell a race car than an original 'Cuda for the price range you're seeking. Honestly, everybody wants them the way they left the factory. Oh, and it has a roll cage? That hurts the value, actually. A rollcage can be undone, however if done correctly (i.e. cleanly). Several nice Ebodies didn't sell or meet their relatively low reserve prices reserve on eBay becuase they had been altered.

    You didn't say if it was originally a 'Cuda, or a Barracuda? Any buyer would want to see the VIN to see what car you started out with. The value of the mods you put in it is inconsequential if they divert from factory originality. You're getting 15, maybe 20% to the dollar you spend on aftermarket mods when you elect to resell.

    Realistically, $15-20k if it started out as a Barracuda, $25-30k if a 383 'cuda, $35-40k *MAYBE* if it was a U or V-code in a previous life.

    All in all, a very nice looking car nonetheless that would be a great showcar!  :thumbs:

    This will never be a original # matching car again.
    It is however a chevy ass kicking cuda that would take somebody hundreds of hours and a lot more $ than what

    Nice looking car.  Bodavi hit the nail on the head.....originality makes a huge difference.  In order to get the 50K plus range on a modified car...it better be a Hemi Clone...otherwise it can be a tough sell.  this goes for all muscle type cars...Mustangs...Camaros...etc.

    Tha car looks great and i love the way the exhaust comes out the back like the stock cars. That said, it's harder to sell a pro-street/modified car than a stock one, esp a heavily modified one. You have to appeal to someone who has a taste for that car.

    Off hand I'd say the car looks and "tastes" beautiful ! Your hoping to get a lot for it and I hope you do, value/worth is exactly what the new owner can and is willing to pay. And quite honestly if I could,  I WOULD. That is one AWSOME CAR and unlike a real or even cloned hemi you would be more inclined to feel a little more free to drive it, even at the asking price. Now would this be a blast or what.  :thumbs:

    One of the best looking rides man, I would do the same to mine in a heart beat. Takes a whole lotta cash to get a car to  that stage .   :thumbs:

    I've scene this car in person....the car is perfect!  The pictures don't do justice to the amount of time and money put into this car.  have you asked Steve if he want's it back?  Could be difficult because  I know what you bought the car for  :beer: and what it's worth today.  Mr D....you can get some serious $$$$$ for your cuda.....the quality of the resto is top notch....and this car is a beast with open headers!  You couldn't build one today for what you want for the car.....

    Good Luck.
