 :scared: 55K for a restorable 318 car? Convert or not, it sure is way overpriced in my opinion. But someone will buy it, clone it into a hemi car and get about 300K  :villagers:

Real Hemi cars aren't pulling that kind of money any more.

No upside financially for the buyer on this one. :screwy: They are going to have to restore it if they want to sell it.

I like the car. I'd leave it a small block. It wouldn't take a whole bunch to bring it back to original. It being an a/c car, there's a lot to clone it to a hemi car. Cheaper to keep it original and if cleaned up, it would sell more than asking price if done right.

I am 99% sure that is the vert that got away from me here in DFW couple years ago. The color, the wheels, etc sure seems like a match. Was sold here in DFW for $26k, seller had a very sick wife and forced sale. Lemme see if I have pics, I posted them on here some time back and am sure they are in digital heaven now.

ok, no VIN or fender tag but sure looks close to me. You be the judge. In any case, I'd say this one looks better than that one though.

actually I am seeing lots of differences now but could have been changed up. The indy car looks like an AC car with AC dash

I don't know, Al. I've seen several done Cuda verts for less than that.

Yeah, yer prob right. Especially with prices falling. But I'll bet parts and body shop prices aren't falling as fast as the cars are.
