My 1970 Cuda 383 4 Speed project
« on: March 22, 2012 - 08:40:29 AM »
#s matching 383 w/ 335 hp according to the vin (BS23N0*******) can't remember the others numbers, as the car is not in front of me and i am in afghanistan, lol.  anyway, its a 4 speed, in fairly good shape.  gonna dump some more money into it when i get back from over seas.  check out the video and the pics and give me some rough estimates of what you think its worth, any input is appreciated. btw, i paid 10k for it:burnout:

She looks purty good to me.

Hope you get back in one piece.

I dunno, dep. on how the trunk looks, the underneath, options...let's say...$25-35k?  More if it was a recent restoration, but kinda doesn't look like it.

@ 4 speed fish - i bought it back in august 2011

@ ragtopchally - the trunk was rotted out, but with an older resto, someone welded in plate metal and made it solid enough to dance on.  the frame was starting to rot out a bit, so i had a local welder repair all the frame rails and now the underneath is solid, just like new!  actually had a lot of compliments on the weld work when i was having all the brakes replaced and having the car inspected.  when i get back from afghanistan i plan on having the engine/tranny rebuilt and having the car stripped and touched up and repainted.  thinking for color i might go sassy grass green or plum crazy.  either way, as it is right now, it runs strong and super fast!!!
