72 'cuda 340..

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I could use a few (educated?) opinions. Looking at a 72 340 'CUDA in need of a resto. Typical rust out under the rear window, don't know if driveline is original AND a bit of water from Hurricane Katrina! Don't think it was floated or anythinhg but did get wet.
Fair Price ?

I'd say without seeing much of the car but I'd doubt very much the original engine is still there, could be wrong.
IMO a good ball park figure would be: $2,500 - $3,500

[Street_Challenged73]

As a restoration project, I'd say expect $3,500-$4,500.00, give or take a little depending on what all is included with the car. (provided it's a numbers-matching 340 car and the frame rails aren't rotted out.)

Thanks for the imput... and keep it coming! I wish I had more info... everything I know is through the insurance company. Thanks Again!

I guess the water damage(hope it was only water!) is the big thing.

If you get the car,  Make sure you check all the fluids for water.  Rear axle, trans, fuel tank and oil pan just for a few things.  They seem to be in line but might think it would even be lower with the water damage.

There is no "water line" in the pics I've seen. I would trailer it home.. I can relate to the water/fluids thing 4sure
Thanks!

[Carlwalski]

What photos? He hasn't seen it himself? lol

[BIGSHCLUNK]

Oh belive me I'll see it b4 I'd buy it. I come across cars in the normal course of business. And I'm not talkin' bout EGAG! Anyway often times cars a quite a distance from where I am so.... PICTURES FIRST. It's just that so few are MOPARS! Can find bowties 3-4 times a week.
Thanks

There is a Brown 'CUDA with an AAR stripe going around that was sunk inside a barn during the flood
It's not that one is it?

Sorry, you misunderstood me, in yur previous post you made it seem that you have already seen the car.

Quote: There is no "water line" in the pics I've seen. "Pics I've seen"?? That's why I asked what photos? lol


Never mind.
Cheers

I have seen cars that were in floods and there was no water line but water was in all fluids.  It was also hard to get the smell out of them..

Ya, I understand the water in the fluids thing. Thats why trailer or flatbed never a tow dolly! 440R/T - No offense taken! In the last week 68 Malibu Convert-71 Buick GS-63 Split Window Vette and a 35 Packard. None within 600 miles of me. So.... All Pic's
BUT NO MOPARS!!!!  Thanks

Bigshclunk - was the 63' split window a project car? Priced right?
