    1971 caught my eye - for sale
    « on: March 20, 2013 - 12:42:29 PM »
    What does anyone think?  It caught my eye and I have asked some questions from the seller but does anything stand out?

    Good point unless it was not stored very well I would think it wouldn't need all of it.

    It's a nice car but that's a lot of cash for a small lock car.  Would be curious if all the nice options are ones it came with originally and documented on a fender tag/buildsheet.

    Still though....lotta $$$.  That Cuda is dying for a set of billboards, IMO...but that's just me.  Can't put them on my Challenger...  :icon16:

     :iagree:

    Still needs a lot of underhod detailing and such to bring that kind of money.

    A lot of incorrect details for the $49K asking price.  :2cents:

    Seems a bit pricey but there is another '71 on that site that looks just as good (if not better) for $10K less http://www.collectorcarnation.com/Plymouth/181736539/1971-Plymouth-Cuda-340-.html. Love me some Sassy-Grass-Green and black; has to be my all time favorite :drool: However, I have to admit the Sassy-Grass in the photo looks a bit "washed out" due to the flash or something cause Sassy-Grass is a much darker richer green color than what is shown - just take a look at Dave's car :drool: I need a bib, this drool is getting out of control!

    thats a cool green cuda, but unless my eyes are going, or the lighting or camera lens were messed up, or all three....that doesnt look like sassy grass to me. Looks more like snake skin green
    And, does it have a matching drivetrain? If not, theres your $10k price diff right there.

    I might be mistaken, but I think that green car is the turd that G&D out of Florida were trying for ever to get rid of, for around $29K.  :2cents:
    Looks like the new owner swapped the wheels and tried to make the car look more original. If it's the same car, it's not Sassy Grass green now or originally. It's the Snake Skin green and originally gold. :misbehaving:

    Doesn't compare one iota to either the blue car posted or the FJ6 car I listed...

    If thats the case its not worth anywhere near $39k, especially if its a "formerly gold" car!
    Lots of nicely cloned big blocks available for less than $39, including mine.
    But the blue car is probably worth over $40k if it is #s matching and all original. I like it a lot.  :cooldancing:

    I agree the blue car is in the $40K range, but a tough sale in today's market. :2cents:

    It's just not really appealing as far as 71 Cudas go, and like you said for the same money you could get a really nice clone with all the bells and whistles that word have killer looks (bill boards, shaker, spoilers etc...)

    I thought the blue car looked great myself. Some things may need to be changed or detailed. And it's a all numbers match that helps to. Should bring more than this car here since it doesnt have the original drive train and some changes had been done on it as well.  Both are nice cars though

    Interesting comparison between the B5/black 4spd vs the J6/white 4spd.

    Does matching numbers trump more desirable colour combo?

    Does more "correct" restoration trump "incorrect" restoration.

    Sad part is...both these cars have been for sale for awhile and nobody wants to bite the bullet on either one. I truly think that once you price your car near or above $50K you really really limit your market.
    I would think both these cars would sell fast in the $30K range.
