1971 Cuda Clone
« on: August 29, 2009 - 01:00:35 PM »
Time is running out on my being able to buy the bird that I've found. If I don't sell one of my cars soon, I'll have to let the guy try to sell the bird to someone else. As long as I can still buy the bird, I'll take 28K for my car. If you want a very nice driving car, you won't be disappointed. If the bird sells, my car comes off of the market entirely.


Never thought that I would be selling my car, but I've found a Superbird that I want to buy.
My car started out life as a 318 1971 Barracuda Gran Coupe. I transformed it into a Cuda about nine years ago. It had very little rust in the car. This car has been here in the south all of it's life.
It now has a 340 with a 4-speed. The car has the following...340 engine with correct air cleaner, MP valve covers, Gilled fenders, bulge hood, hood pins and brackets, leather interior, GC woodgrain inserts on doors, GC bezel, all gauges work, GC OH console, Tuff wheel, 4-speed Console, Cuda emblems on new door panels, factory original rear window louvers, gull wing, cuda rocker moldings, cuda tail moldings, Flowmaster exhaust, 16" Hopster rims, Goodyear GS tires.
This car starts and runs great. With the 3.23 gears it gets 17 mpg on the freeway. It is the most dependable musclecar that I've owned. It still has the same spark plugs that I installed when I built the car nine years ago. If you want a car that you can buy and just go out and drive, this is it. We just drove it to the Branson Super Summer Cruise a few weeks ago in 96 degree weather with no problems whatsoever. That's a 500 mile round trip plus all of the cruising.The color is Tornado red and is slightly darker than the photos show. I have the a/c lines and late model compressor for the car. I took them off when I had the shaker hood off of my unrestored 71 Cuda on this car for a while. The a/c worked great before I removed it.
If you've always wanted a nice 71 Cuda but didn't have the 60+ thousand for a real one then this will work for you.
I'm asking $32,000 for the car. The car is located in Greenwood, Arkansas which is near I-40 at the Arkansas-Oklahoma border.  Contact me at hotrodcuda98@hotmail.com or call Larry Roper 479 719-3872
More pics available by request.

The best part is that it runs and drives as good as it looks.

Wow Larry -
I hope it's a nice Superbird. Good luck with the sale.
I think I found a grille by the way. See you in St. Louis.

Deposit has been sent. Shipping arrangements are being made.

It's the infamous "Black Ice" bird. I'm going to just freshen it up and leave it as it has been for the last 26 years and have fun with it. It's a 440 (now has a six pack setup on it),4-speed, bucket seat, console car.
The modifications are the black paint, custom air grabber hood, 17" rims and no vinyl top.
