Not sure if someone already shared this one?   I feel like I've seen it for sale before?  :huh:

3.91, 4 speed, rallye gauges, N96 and a different colour. Not much to hate about that.

Been for sale for quite awhile, but I think the price has come down if I remember correctly.

Checks some of the right boxes for sure!  Looks like there's a bit of rust to fix, but my oh my what a cool car! :wowzers:

What's a fair price for it?  It doesn't seem to far off the mark right now, right?  :huh:

I'd be happier in the low $20's.....numbers don't match and a "love it or hate it colour" :alan2cents:

For what its worth...I paid $32,500 for what you see here ...so either I got a heck of a bargain or that seems high for all the work it needs and most importantly the missing Shaker assembly.


RUNCHARGER

Yes: I don't know Cudas but between the missing matching #'s engine and the missing complete shaker stuff I think is a double whammy that holds it from selling. I bet it will sell though at that price, it just might take more time. It seems like prices on finished cars are going up every week right now so he just has to wait until the market catches up to his price. Not many projects left with all those documented goodies.

I think orangewagon's car was a good deal, but it boils down to intentions.

The orange car is something you can jump in and drive, and leave it the way it is.....If that's your intention then that makes it a great deal....

But if your intentions are to do a ground up restoration anyways, then I think he paid a hefty price for a project. Comparing the two, I think the orange car is only slightly better because of the included shaker stuff.
The green car is rusty but it's original, while the orange car is a patched up perfume pig. :alan2cents: that's going to require just as much or more metal work then the green car. :takemymoney:

I really like that Orange Cuda.  But you are right...  just depends on what you want.  They are both really cool Cudas but for different reasons.   :driving:

RUNCHARGER

A real shaker car should get a real shaker hood and at least bubble though right? That narrows the gap considerably. Real hood, real bubble, aftermarket other bits, can you do that for $10k?
At $5k more I don't think I would have thought more than two seconds about 76's car over the other one "and then I drove away".

:iagree:

I like the color and would not change it, too many cars looking the same from color changes.  It has been for sale awhile, perhaps the owner would be open to offers??  :takemymoney:

Cody, have you called him?

Somebody's actual build must have been off a couple days..... My SPD is 430, the green car's SPD is 511.

Cuda Cody

I have not called.  Just a time thing.   :(  Wish I had more time as I would love to take that car on.
