     THE WHOLE BACK OF THE CAR WAS COVERED WITH A BLUE TARP,EASY ACCES TO THROW TRASH IN.
                    THE TRUNK LID ACTUALLY ROTTED OFF ITS FRAME .THE TRUNK ROTTED SO FAR THROUGH IT LAID ON TOP THE THE TANK SO LONG IT ATE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK.
              IT HAD SAT THERE FOR 20 YEARS LIKE THIS!HE TOLD ME TO MAKE A OFFER CUZ THE TOWN SAID IT HAD TO GO.I JOKINGLY SAID 100.00 HE SAID SOLD!!! SINCE THEN I"VE STRIPPED THE  FENDERS &HOOD AND PRIMED FIXED THE DOORS &ROCKERS REPLACED FLOOR ,TRUNK.NOW I'M EAGERLY WAITING  FOR TAX TIME TO FINISH HOW MUCH MORE $$$$ DO YOU GUYS THINK IT WILL TAKE TO FINISH .I HAVE TO GET 1/4s   TRUNK LID GAS TANK . I GOT A SET OF 73 RALLEYES GAVE TO ME SO THATS TAKING CARE OF RIMS I MEAN. ALSO ,I EITHER HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEATS OR RECOVER THEM.ANY IDEAS GUYS?

    OK....BK, $100??!!  :o :o That has to be the cheapest I have ever heard a cuda selling for!  Good for you!  Would love to see a picture of this "dumpster".  Sounds like you got a great project ahead of you...you sure can't beat the price!  It will probably cost a bit to restore.  If I were you, I'd start learning how to weld as that would save you TONS of money.  What is the engine that's in it?

    Wow!!! Now that's a steal for sure!! There are parts on the car that are worth much more than that if you threw the rest away! I don't care what it looks like, how rusted it is, how dirty, I love pictures of these as found! Got pics??  ;D

    Ok guy,
      If funds are short, just throw some seat covers on yours for now. The outside is most important because it costs the most. This is truely a sad story. Don't you want to just strangle that previous owner??? You haven't mentioned anything about the engine or drivetrain. I'll assume it doesn't run, but what engine does it have in it? Anyway, worry about the engine/drivetrain, and the outside, before you get into the interior. Yes, it might take you quite a while, but there are people on this site that have taken years to reach their goal. I'm not trying to discourage you, but quite the opposite. It is quite a feeling to accomplish such a feat :D Good luck, and ask away with any questions.

    Funny, you describe yours as a garbage pail & it sounds like a decent car, I paid quite a bit more for the 73 , it looked decent on the outside, but I worked on everything you mentioned, plus fender patches, home made cowl patches(both sides behind the front wheels) and a few on the roof, you got the deal of the century there, get some progress pics up, always like the before & after stuff myself, don't think about the money(it will be a lot) just do a little at a time, it don't hurt so much & don't add up the bills till your done, sticker shock is best taken when you have a beautiful car to look at! ;DRich.

    Welcome to the board.  I have never heard of a Cuda selling for 100 bucks!  Thats awesome.  It will be worth all of the work when you are finished.  What year car is it?  Do you have a vin?  Best of luck and ask away with all of your questions!

    Welcome aboard and congrats on probably the deal of the century, even with a rather rusty 'Cuda. :o :o 8) 8) 8) 8)  I'd say it's hard to tell an accurate price without seeing a few photos of the car's current stage.  Do you happen to have any photos available? :P  We're big on pics here, if you haven't noticed already. ;) ::) :P ;D

    what do men yelling ?do you mean capital letters,if so sorry.well,it looks like a 318 , thats what the guy saidtoo
     and that he had the motor pulled and bored  when he was younger and just got the car himself. and i'd have to believe him ,when i pulled the valve covers off it was as clean as a whistle.and it started when i put gas in the carb.it was a stick at one time cuz i took out the clutch pedal now it auto on floor .and i forget to mention i
    have to replace all the wire harnesses.i dont have a digital camera yet.and your right $$$ ain't main topic when consider how long i waited.
                                for the guy who asked ,sorry i forget who,i am from newcomerstown.
                         heres the fender tag                               i'll send vin later

    No need to send the VIN later... it's right there... the last part of the fender tag! ;) Welcome aboard!!

    And you've definately got a 318 by the numbers in your VIN!! Enjoy the car and keep us updated!
