Personally I'd buy that blue cuda at that price, but B5 blue is my favorite Mopar color, especially after seeing the fender tag.

Cool, I may call the owner, looks really nice, just all the body panels replaced concerned me a bit, wonder if it once was a rust bucket........

The B5, N96 440-6 4spd has your name on it, unless you are a serious collector and gonna put a car in your climate controlled warehouse with the other 100 mile, older mature lady driven on sunday, pampered documented never rolled back odo, never wrecked, rusted, abused collection who really cares if the panels were replaced your gonna drive this car right? get in it, under it, around it and if its straight it is a nice buy for your need.
B5 is one of the sought after colors for the mopars and is an absolute beautiful color in any light.
One question, when your out at a show, cruise or what have you and your car gets a ding on the quarter and you have no clue who did it how will you feel if it was an original panel versus a replacement keep in mind you paid more money for the car (maybe 20K+ more) with the original panels etc... then what?

IMO, I know its a whole nother car but, it is a mopar :2thumbs: and for the money your spending the one to be buying now is the viper 2nd gen. GTS, RT/10, ACR and GTS-R the prices are near bottom and word is out about stopped viper production, the 70 era muscle will continue to depreciate for awhile so prices will be even better down the road the price you buy at today will be even less tomorrow, just food for thought for :2cents:.

The Challenger is not a color combination I would be happy with.  Between the 2 the Cuda is definitely the better choice IMHO.

I personaly love the color of this Challenger, Go Mango with burnt Orange interiors are cool and it looks to have a FY1 bumblebee stripe too. :jumping:

1970 Plymouth Cuda 383, 4 speed, numbers match, california car, original sheetmetal, cool shaker added, rally gauges, painted racing mirrors, rubber bumber, runs and drives great, can't build it for $55k! $55,000.00

What do you guys think of this car? Want a 440, but its a 383.




That car is absolutely beautiful. And a very reasonable price.

Not that my opinion really matters at this point, but holy cow that Chally is awesome. I have seen that car in person a couple of times. A true one of one 4-speed with Dana and all numbers match, no body panels ever changed, etc. Granted that Cuda is a more attractive car, but the Chally is much more unique. I look forward to seeing the Cuda in some of the shows around DFW. Have a good trip ut.  :ylsuper:
