Cuda driver. $325,000 Not enough

[Mike 1017]

I just finished watching my recording of Mecum Indy 2020. Do you keep it as is? Or a full restoration?  How much $ for a full restoration?

To rich for my blood. I could buy a pretty nice home for that kind of money around here.

Car has been around the auction circuit a few times, never sells. heard owner wants $650K

 

IMO, never gonna happen

Its only original once. I have to agree with David, if I had that money to put in a car, both my wife and I would be retired.

[Mike 1017]

That was the first time I saw it. $650'000.  Another restored Cuda brought $1,555.00 at Mecum Indy 2019.

No thank you.....???

Rare Mopar’s are just crazy money.  A Restored 71 429CJ Mustang convertible might bring $100K and would perform just as well.

Somebody will end up buying that car.

Ive been told owner is wanting something  like over 500 k for it. if thats in fact the case ????

 

IMO those days are over and it might sell someday but for nothing near the $500 k money .

IMO he should give serious thought so the 325 k if its real money

I can see it if it was a 4 speed and restored 100% but not in this shape .

I hear what you're saying alright but there's a sucker out there somewhere with loads of cash that'll see it. I'm tellin' ya. It's gonna get sold.

Where was it exported-to ? 

Must be 3.23 / open , as no axle ratio is mentioned . 

Shaker Hood added... Where's it original , standard bonnet ? 

Rallye Wheels --- likely had plain wheels / hub caps originally .

"Radio Delete" --- No built-for-export car would have a radio , as the receiver wouldn't work in other countries .

No mention of a KPH speedometer --- UK export ?

Someone is definitely smoking their underwear wanting that much for a car which is neither original nor restored .

If it was a hemi cuda no doubt it would sell, but at 500k that's alot. As is this thing will NEVER sell for 500k like the dipstick ? wants
