How are the frame rails? Body rusty? Does it run?  What shape is the interior in?  Number matching?  What is missing?  I'm thinking $8-10k

havent looked at it yet, but this is how he describes it
"I bought the car as a project because it is in great condition, all the rust has been replaced with metal, 90% of the car is there ready to be restored. I recently got laid off very unexpectedly and now the project has to go to a new home. The car is like i said its a True Cuda' 340 4 speed car and was Vitamin C orange, floor pans have been replaced, rear quarters have been replaced, drivers door was replaced with a rust free door, does have the Ralley dash, single trac 3:91 gears, rust free Ralley hood with inserts, rust free rear valance with the cut outs for exhaust, all the glass is tinted and great shape, under neath is great conditinon rear frame rails are good, torque boxes are good, around torsion bars are good, rockers are good, 2 small patches in trunk need fixed but trunk is solid, I have the original 4 speed , bell housing, pistol grip shifter, flywheel. Comes with 1969 340 short block ready to be built, steel crank stock rods, motor was just running, i tore off top end cause 340 needs rings. Also I have a little bit of the build sheet left that shows color and vin, also i have the original door with the orange underneath the vin sticker that was on the door, and no fender tag. Have clean title The color # on the build sheet is as follows Color-6x Style-900 looks like next thing says Rooe-0v Body 51"

Wrong rallye dash its from a 72-74 and the without the matching motor I would say to much. I'll venture a guess of 7-8k 15k would be more inline if it was a 71

I am by no means in the know or the business so its jjuat a guess on my part

looks like the replaced floorboards were glued in..?  ( trans crossmember pic and in the background there seems to be a lot of space between the rail and floor...)

The asking price is a lot of money for the amount of work that remains. :2cents:

Run Forest run!  Go for the other 30k car.

You'll need to invest another 30-40k, beyond the selling price to make it worth 30k

Non-running projects are sinks holes for money.

"I bought the car as a project because it is in great condition".It needs 15k to 20k in body and paint work.Another 20 to 25k in parts,but it is in great condition.I wonder what would be considered "bad condition' to this seller.

Happens to me all the time.  I look every day and sometimes it's hard to be patient.  But, that's just part of it.    :pullinghair:

Offer him less.
You will never know if you don't ask.  I say 5K just because I don't really like the work that's been done as pointed out already.

No fender tag.  Killer.
