Thanks

I own the Cuda - which is a rare beast over here - but have been offered the Chally for mine plus some cash-

Chally price here is around £20 k- which at the moment is $40K

Originally a B5 blue car but everything else is numbers matching- very solid and real clean underneath

Is this the going rate???

I'd also agree that the Challenger is worth much more.  Anything over 71 is when the EPA & Feds derailed the performance era.  Consequently, I think the value is in Challenger.  It also depends on the quality of your Cuda VS the Challenger's.  If the Challenger is a 4 speed, that's a definite plus.  Best of luck & make sure you really inspect it well.

Your 'Cuda over here would probably pull between $20,000-$24,500 (a little more if it's an original 4-speed car).  All-in-all, that Challenger would ultimately be the better car price-wise to have. (at least here in the U.S.) :cheers: :2thumbs:

Done 4spd challenger 383 rt's are listed between $30,000-60,000 here, depending on how desirable the car is.  a 73 340 4spd Cuda is worth 20-40 here depending on how desirable.  I have been wanting an orginal 340 4 spd 73 cuda all black for sometime.  I think it is going to take me close to 40 to bring one home.
