It will cost you a fortune to import a "project" to Russia then import all the parts to restore it. Even if you did all the work yourself, it would cost ten times more then buying a finished car or decent driver.

If you want a 71, then invest your money in a real 71 Cuda, not a clone.  :2cents:

Howdy.  I agree, find one close to complete.

Much easier in the long run.

I too am glad to find. But the search is difficult to make because of the language and distance

A) I wouldn't treat a car as an investment in any event. There are much safer investments where you're more likely to make money.
b) anlauto's statement is true if you want an investment. If you want a care to own and drive, then a cloned 72 drives just as nicely as an original 71.

I've got nothing against clones whatsoever, check out my website, I've owned a few and created a few for customers....

I was just thinking of the huge cost of restoring one of these cars in a different country like Russia where every last bolt needs to be imported. Why complicate matters and increase cost by cloning a 72-73 into a 71 ?... The money you save on your entry level 72-73 project will be gobbled up pretty quickly with the need to import correct parts to convert it to a 71.
Why not just start with a 71 ? Spend more up front save a lot in the end...

It's not about "investment" as much as it is about spending wisely.  :cooldancing:

 do not see the car as an investment.

I put her soul in want.
In order to be happy with her ​​eyes to me and to others.

As for the import of spare parts, I agree with you, but you can always find different options.

a lot of old classic American cars in Finland.
And also there are a lot of parts.

But here's the car can not find one there

Hi, Ilya!  Welcome!  :wave:

My coworker is named Ilya as well.  I work with many Russian people.  I can imagine that it's so hard for you to find a car.

This is a pretty friendly website with some really nice people.  Feel free to ask lots of questions.

I do not know where it is cheaper to import a car from, the east or west coast of the US.  I would imagine the west coast, being somewhat closer to Rusia than the east coast.

I hope you find a car! Sounds like you want a '71 Barracuda, with 4 headlights and square taillights, as other's have mentioned.  The '71 and '70 cars will be more expensive to but than the '72-'74 years.  As you have mentioned there are classic cars in Finland and other parts of europe but are still scarce.  Funny, one guy here found his dad's old Challenger in Japan!
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Phil in New England-Massachusetts  Always thank God for what you have!

Thank you all for your help.
You have no idea how you helped me.
I started to be engaged in the search, the 01/14/2013, I'm helping a lot of people from different countries.
It is so good that people are helping.
I can not express my gratitude in words.
The site is very user friendly, a lot of good people.
I have friends from my town who moved to the state of Illinois. The car has not yet found. But there are already suggestions.

Welcome! :burnout:

Which part of Russia you are living?
How much you have to pay import duties and taxes from cars and parts?

Gran Coupe 383 project is for sale in Estonia right now, but it's '70 not '71 and looks like at it's already imported to EU, which is just wasted money in your case.
