One of the Best V Code 70 cudas

[Morty426]

This is not my car but I do know two of the former owners and the current owner.  It has a great history, low miles and the current owner has done a lot to make it near perfect.

Yes I know - was used to the Moparts rule that you couldn't post your own car ad - was trying to help out the owner.

What do you think it will sell for ?

Alan,

That's a tough question.  The problem is finding a comparable sale.  This car is all original Ma Mopar sheet metal.  Never had a quarter hung or trunk floor replaced.  It has great options and the owner has taken very close to OE in quality. 

So you get down to comps.  Well a car like that doesn't come around every day. 

However my brother sold a similar car within the past year - 70 cuda 440+6, FE5, black leather, N96, A22, all the good stuff but was a 4 SPEED.  However the restoration, though very high caliber, was not near OE like this car.  He sold it for $100K

So the question is around preference.  Let's face it, in most of these old cars people want a 4 speed.  Some people like red over blue, I like blue.  I can tell you that 4.10 geared automatics like this car are a kick in the pants to drive,  Probably the funnest. 

With all that said I think this car deserves to go over the $100k mark as that is the quality of the car.

I'd be in agreement with you...The quality of the restoration may bring it very close to $100K.....but the auto will hold it back and although a lot of people like blue......it's not black or pink or even  lime lite which would boost it further in my opinion....

Another issue is the market seems to be flooded with 1970 440+6 Shaker Cuda's these days.....a lot to choose from

Hard to beat that car!!!

Looks like an amazing car!  Good luck to the seller on the sale!

I don't really know the Cuda market and 4 speeds are desirable all right but the quality of this car is outstanding. I don't think I would sell it for $100k if it were mine. Good no excuse cars always find a buyer. Like I say though what do I know.

[anlauto]

Personally I wouldn't let it go for $100K either...... Having it judged and awarded an OE award, be it bronze, silver or gold would go a long way to achieving TOP dollar for the car.....maybe even $150K range for Gold ?

That was about my thinking as well Alan. Like I say though I am no expert by any means.

That's a good comp ... car wise, option wise, but no where near QUALITY wise....not even close.

[RUNCHARGER]

Agreed, nowhere near close. Boy, am I the only one that wants to pitch everyone of those rad caps I see on a Mopar? I guess we all have our pet peeves.

I think he really doesn't want to sell it, but he might have entered OE-land - where your car is too nice to drive and enjoy
