 Hmmm, I just might consider a trade for my 71 R/T Challenger Convertible.

   Hmmmm.

Who the heck paints over the under coating? That's way wrong, I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone, there could be anything hidden under that....

[acudanut]

 You have a good point.

This seems to be more common than before.  If you ever saw the Cuda that was built last year on Chop/Cut/Rebuild (SpeedTV), they did the same thing I believe.

   Don't buy it.     On the other hand, who in the heck would fork over 30 grand to ray barton then keisler, the altercation kit, the independent rear, and stuff 120k in a rusty car?  IT AINT A RUST BUCKET BY NO MEANS

Drop all the names you want, if you think it makes something worth more, be my guest, what do I know. All I did was point out something I really didn't like, and haven't seen in many years. It just shows, some people don't give a darn and still cut corners whether you paid someone to do that or you did it yourself. It looks like a nice car, and then you see workmenship like that...its sad really. And one thing I have learned in this hobby, is you don't trust anyone. I have seen way too much to trust anyone anymore, so don't take it the wrong way, its just a lack of workmenship. Some people use tricks like that to cover up all kinds of stuff, and for a price like that, its not something I would have expected. Me, if I were a potential buyer, it sends up a red flag and I would never bid on it without going over every inch after seeing that. then again, in that price range I could easily find something else and avoid the issue all togather.

I'm not sure but I don't think it is undercoating, to uniformed and clean, I think maybe it's more something like lizard skin, Alan could you find out maybe?
This is lizard skin but there is more than likely other products that do the same,

quite frankly that's the way I would want this car, it was made to drive not sit and look at. JMHO

[back n black]

I'd probably kill myself with that much power. Plus, I'm about $64,000 short.

Only $59,000 short now!

I saw this and wondered if it would hurt the sale of the car myself.  Regardless, the car is worth every bit the asking in better markets.

I DID NOT COVER UP ANY RUST OR FILLER! This car has solid factory floor pans a new trunk pan and new quarters which were not necessary but we made sure there was no rust to ever return. The undercoating is spray in bedliner material which worked very well as a sound deadner and sealed and tightend up all of the seams in the car. We did not go for original as you can very well see. I spent three years building this car and it irritates me for someone to try to tear it down. I have all of the pictures that anyone wants to see to prove how solid this car is. As a matter of fact I had a guy here this week that just looked at a SEMA show Cuda and he told me that my car has a better body and better door gaps and body lines than that car had. Thank you for looking but I do not appreciate anyone trying to trash my car.

I think I would put more stock in the opinions of a 7500+ poster over a low hondreds. everyone is entitled to opinions, mabey you should wait till you know the facts though before you make a staement like that.

[Dragula]

Yup I don't know what I am talking about cause I am a low poster.....You should talk, yours is lower than mine. And to use that to determine a cars value is beyond me. I have Been around the bend on valuble muscle cars a few times, and that is one of the things I have seen used to cover up all kinds of stuff, and I am not saying this car has any of that. I only said it sends up a red flag to check it all over very carefully if you were a potential buyer. To me, if I were a high end buyer, or one of their people who finds them rare cars, I would point them the other way. It would take too long to check everything under it, and it would take a lot longer to fix it and make it nice again. Its just not something you should see anymore in this day and age. When you buy a 528 hemi, sound deadener is not something you really worry about.

Besides, it seems there are other mismatched parts on the car too. 528 Hemi and a keisler 5speed, that's trouble right there. Seen a whole bunch of those broken by way smaller engines than that. The efi looks a little off too. I would be looking to see what componants were used, and the fuel system design. EFI has some very specific requirements on a 700hp motor, and if its not done right, it will mask all kinds of fuel related issues that hold a lot of performance back. People not use t a 700hp car might not even notice the lack of performance, but the fuel system at that level has to be right...

     It's ok to go check this car out. Don't know of many people who would hit the buy now without looking at a car when they have big dollar signs. 

The guy is a friend. His dad is old and that is the way it was built. It isnt a rust bucket car. The clown got the decklid off the car cause it had a dent when his dad backed into a pole at the gas pump.. It's rust free, but go see for yourself.

And also go find another post to badger on besides this one. It doesn't need all the bull publicity. It isn't a show car or numbers car. It was a street car for an old man. You will not even buy the stuff for this car for the asking amount. Let alone build it with. It wasnt intended for flipping. It was built to enjoy. Scotts dad just can't handle the power at his age.  It has been detuned and was still too much for his dad.

Dont bother posting again about this car if you dont intend on buying or calling the owner to ask about the car. The post isnt for a debate. It's a friends car forsale. 

[Hemihead]

This guy must think everyone is a total dumba$$ but himself. This is not my first time around the block and I know enough about fuel injection to buy the right parts like F.A.S.T. electronics Aeromotive fuel pump and so on. DUH HUH.
I also know that the transmission is only rated for 650 ft. lb. of torque and that is why it does not have SLICKS on it. DUUUUUH! This car is a heck of a nice driver and will out handle any old car that I have ever driven. Notice that I said out handle and not outrun on the drag strip. Now how about you stop trying to trash other people's cars and go play in the highway.
