rough project, but may be the right price for someone with metal work skills...

Wow, that's a lot of work. It needs everything.

[DeathProofCuda]

Not a project for the faint of heart, but red 71 Cuda 340 4-speed with Shaker checks a lot of boxes for many folks.  Will be interested to see what it goes for, and how much of the original sheetmetal, if any, gets saved.

The tag in the photo has D21 (4-speed), but there is clearly no hole in the dash frame for the reverse light. Dash frame replaced at one time, or...

Friend of mine had a Hemi Charger that was in worse condition than that one. Didn't have engine or drive train. Friend of a friend of a friend found out about it. Guy offer stupid high price for it. Buddy figured out real quick what was going on. Said he wouldn't sell it for less than $20,000. It sold. Basically the buyer paid $20k for a vin and tag.

I think it is a very cool car and a great project for someone with the metal fab chops to get the sheet metal in order.  But I am always over optimistic in what I think these projects take so there is that
