Virginia 440 1970 cuda on cudaworld

[351c4v71]

Hi guys,
Anyone knows this cuda?
http://www.cudaworld.com/adDetail.php?cat_id=9&sub_id=0&ad_id=2265
Looks good to me. Anyone has any advise on this.
What price would be reasonable for such a car?
He's asking 42500$
I'm waiting for some details from seller.
Only thing missing to me seems to be a shaker a hood.
Thanks

If it is numbers matching, I would say that is a good deal. Do you know if that is the original engine?

Looking at some of the details under the hood, I'd say it's a bit overpriced. Personally I wouldn't pay more than $30K for it. Just my

if it is # matching 440-4bbl its a fair asking price. If its not or if a clone its worth at most $25k to $30k.

  If it's numbers matching its a good price, if its a clone not such a good price. June of 2008 I sold a 440 6 pack 4 speed clone that was sublime green, with rallye gauges and a shaker hood for $40k.

Thats the guy I bought my 'Cuda from.  His prices are usually pretty good.  I haven't seen that car, but if anyone wants I can go check it out.  He is about 30 minutes from me.

Got confirmation that it is a BS23U car, so real cuda, with 440. Also was originally manual.
Still waiting to know if it's numbers matching.

It's not: http://www.racingjunk.com/category/1072/Plymouth/post/1636464/1970-Plymouth-Cuda-440-4-Speed.html

I think it is worth that since they only made 334 4 speed 440.The paint should high Quality for that price.No power brakes or steering.If it needs paint I would offer less.

Got answer back from seller.
Like you said motor non matching.
Tranny is. Says both were rebuilt in 2004....but who knows right?
I wouldn't mind a clone but I can't find anything at a descent price in either green , burnt orange or bright yellow (can't remember the mopar color names). I'm not negociable on color :-) I can handle changing an engine but not a color!
Everything on ebay is like over 70K so....
I'm considering this one. Don't know how negociable he is.
Asking 42,500$ ...still a lot of dough....
With the canadian dollar at almost par now , it's time for me to buy.
I can't wait too long 'cause it can dive back to 80 cents on the dollar fast!
Decisions, decisions!

For $5K more you can get a real AAR.

You're right, that one is nice too.
But 42,500 was already pushing the enveloppe for me. So 5 K is over the line.
And it's an auto, I much prefer manual, pistol grip at that.
So we're comparing a real BS 440 manual cuda to a real TA auto.
Comparable cars to my eye and taste....
Thanks
