1971 Plymouth Cuda 383 Auto - SOLD

[Crocha617]

My friend is thinking about selling his 1971 383 Cuda. The engine numbers are close but do not  match. I verified the cowl and radiator support numbers when it was here. The louvers and billboards were added but it is an original red car. The body work and paint is very good in my opinion with only a few minor flaws. I told him it he should be able to get about $50,000 for it. Let me know what you guys think.

No N85, A62, so the rallye instrument cluster was added. was vinyl top car. That price would be better if it had a 4-speed!

No C16 (center console) either, so it had to be an original column-shift auto that was converted to a console Slap-Stik.

Quite a few changes from original according to the tag ... it's really a very low optioned car.

However, everyone knows '71 Cuda's are HOT and everybody wants one ... so if he's not in any hurry ... someone will buy it for that asking price.

Nice color combo but $50,000.00 may be a little optimistic.

If numbers motor/trans.

The color combo is a huge plus. When it comes to these cars and adding the options just about everyone wants to see on them I believe is another plus. If the numbers are good on the car along with the sheet metal being mostly original, another big plus. Two things that stick out to me are that the grill is not red and the lower insert is. Also I don't see any door top molding which would raise questions. I'd put the door top moldings on and the black vinyl top also. I'd probably price it at 65k or so and see what happens.

I don't think $50K is optimistic at all....1971 Cudas are always super hot....I would start higher as well. When I first read this I thought $50K would be for a fast sale

very nice car.  Replacing a vinyl top is one task but to replace a vinyl top where the trim is missing is a greater task and cost.  If the grille was not painted correct than maybe other things were not paid the attention this really cool car deserves.  I think $50K is a good start.  To ask $65K when looking for say maybe $60 is a stretch but not impossible.  Some guys don't care they just want a 71.  The options added are good and can be reversed but I wouldn't go back.

Yeah: I don't think a few razzle dazzle changes would deter the 71 foamers from buying this car.

  It helps it.

Thanks for the comments. I'm having a hard time remembering seeing a nice complete running driving 1971 Cuda  for less than $50k this year. He is open to reasonable offers and is letting me offer it here first before listing it on ebay. If anyone is interested and needs more info let me know the car is a mile down the road from me.

Update! He checked the engine numbers and although there are a few numbers in the sequence that match the vin it is not the correct block. So engine numbers Do Not Match.
