Very nice Cuda. If I have a bigger garage I will be on the phone already.

Thanks. I'm the second owner. I bought it from my buddy at work who literally used the car for storage for 15 years. It was stacked full of clothes, bikes and miscellaneous junk.  Bugged him for 8 years to sell it to me. Finally, he relented. I want the car to go to someon who will love it and use the car. With young kids I don't have an opportunity to use it often enough.

Thank you. Do you all have any recommendations on where I should post it for sale? I think it's a fair price for 1971 clone. It is a real BS Cuda. It seems like 1971 6 cylinders or 318 GC sell for 10-20k needing full resto, motor/tranny, and interior. After that you'd at least have $45k into a BH car.

You'll get the most eye balls on it with sites like Ebay.  The facebook groups get a lot of views too.   With a lot of people looking at it also comes the tire kickers.  But hard to beat the traffic Ebay gets.


EMCD

I had it on EBay a few years ago. It got close but not where I wanted. It pricy to post for 7 days it's like $150 with no guarantee it will sell. I had it on FB, got a lot of trade offers, cars, 15 lbs of weed, herd of goats, DJ equipment, etc. kind of funny really.

I've found Cars on Line to be successful ....Most likely it will end up overseas  :alan2cents:

that might not be the current eBay private party price structure  :thinking:

I Sold my Duster on eBay back in June and my initial listing fee was $30 since I added a few extras like bigger Pictures, once it sold I was billed an additional $150 or so...

That's a real nice looking Cloned 71 you have there..... if it weren't for the 72 taillight/trunk molding it would be almost impossible to distinguish from an original.

EMCD

Ya, I'm pretty sure I screwed something up while selling the cuda on eBay. I'll check out the other site and post it up soon. I almost changed the rear to the 1971 style, but I liked the 72-74 molding better. If I wanted to keep it long term, I'd do an AAR hood, black out the fenders like an original AAR to, drop on the Lou reed back windows, add fitech efi and Tank inc gas tank and pump, air conditioning, then for a final add I'd do a gear vendors over drive. But, this would run me about $15k and I have dumped enough $$ into the car already.

EMCD

I put on cars online today. 4 pictures, runs until sold for $45. It sure would be nice to send it on its way to a forum member.
