And did people on this board actually advise him to buy it?   :banghead:

He originally asked without pictures, but from his description, we advised $32k was over priced.  He later noted he got caught up in the sellers garble about it being a 71 Cuda, etc.  I'm thinking for the $12k, this would make a nice build, especially for someone who already has the drivetrain.

If that was a picture that the guy sent you, then it wasn't a picture of the same car.  Picture number eight does not have the Dealer Tag on it.




there are two different cars in the pics.  i think the pic with the purple one in it is just showing the pile of parts for that wreck ..

That is a very nice car.  Good price for a 71 bs without much rust. 
Blue on Blue is just an awesome color combo!!
Bump for the sale!

Really dude??? There is no need to knock the mans car. It is a very solid project and priced right at 12k. I could get mid evil and hurt your feelings but I will leave it at that. Besides I like A bodies.

It appears the car has found a new home.

Mike is truly a stand up guy and I know he will be OK after all this.  It will take a lot more to bring down a guy with that much good character.  I wish I knew more people like Mike.... a man willing to stand behind his word.  Rare in this day and age.

I really feel sorry for the original seller in California... that guy might have gotten someone to pay to much for a project one time, but he'll forever be a douche bag.  Sucks to be him.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Hi Guys. Thanks for all the support. I just made an agreement to with someone from this forum to sell it off. For those that pointed out how much I overpaid originally, believe me, I still feel worse about it than you can probably imagine. As a result I dont think I'll be buying another restoration project any time soon.
Thanks again, cuda is sold.
Mike

Edit: Cody posted same time as me :) Cody is the proud new owner.

I'm glad Cody got it.  mcemond the pics you sent to me show it as a worthwhile project.  Between now and your next project visit CC and stay in touch.

Congrats Cody on the new project. I'm glad you grabbed it because it was only a matter of time before I went up and got it myself and I really didn't need another project car.
