70 Cuda V code WIW
« on: October 14, 2013 - 04:37:18 PM »
I found a 70 cuda v code 440 six pack car minus original motor.  It has the build sheet, vin tag and title (no body tag).   factory leather interior, factory shaker, but needs complete restoration (trunk, quarters, and floor).  Has 150 speedo and tach, auto console, no dana, but has 410 rearend from the factory.  Factory orange with black interior.  I was told the frame rails are good, the metal around the windows are good, and the fenders, fire wall / front is all good.
I have not seen the car but plan to go look.  Any idea what would be realistic?
It does have a 383 in it as of now.

I do not have any pictures, but will post some once I go look.

Thanks

here are a few pictures of the car.  Looked pretty rusty to me.  More than I wanted to take on for the price.  I did post some other stuff on the neglected mopars section.

Really hard to say without some pictures and you to view the car to see how solid it is!   :cheers:

$5-15K depending on how much rot, will cost you another $50k to put it together.

This car sounds like one that's been kicking around for years. I believe Cody might know this car also if its the  same one. Last I knew the guy was asking $15,900 for it. I can't remember where it was but a search here might bring up the previous posts.

If you can post some photos I will tell you what I know.  I want to make sure it's the same car I looked at.
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.

Thanks everybody.  I think he is asking $18,000 which seems high to me, but he has several other Mopars for sale.  I figure nothing else, go talk to him and see what else he has.  I'll get some pictures and post hopefully later this week. 
God Bless this forum and you all...I really appreciate it.

Someone having a car in that shape should sell it cheap to the right buyer that has the time, money and patience to bring it back to life.  I'd post my resto pics if I could get the pics to upload of my 74 Cuda.   Not a 70 or 71 but is my favorite car

$18K is out to lunch on that car...$10K tops, and he'll have a hard time finding a buyer anywhere close to that. :2cents:

You're going to be upside down in most any car you restore these days so if you're going to restore a basket case it better be a heck of a lot more interesting then a orange 70 Cuda with black interior and an automatic :2cents:

On the other hand maybe not.

That car looks very familar. It looks like a car that has been for sale for a couple of years out of western Kentucky. Guy had a couple of other cars for sale too - B-bodies I think.
