Interesting listing of a suspected rebodied 440-6 Cuda on BAT.  Wonder what it will go for.

Is this car a topic of another thread that talks about it being a rebody?  I would be curious to know the history.  Any ideas what its worth?  I love the color, but I like the colors that seem to be less desireable

A lot to worry about with this one.
That cowl appears to have the V-Code Cuda's VIN stamped into it next to the original LA-produced OE 120373.
The same goes for the radiator support stamp. Stamp has the numbers reversed and in the wrong font.
The engine VIN stamp is the wrong font.
Three strikes,...

And the add lists a Galen report as if it is some sort of verification of the car. It's just a fender tag decode report though.

I didnt look through all the pics - interesting and seems odd when it is so obvious - I would think an ad that was more up front would help in the selling - I would own the car if I knew the history and the price was fair for what it is.  Problem is people try to maximize profits without disclosing the details.  I hate ads that are written with a slant about how great it is and the history of Plymouth but NO details about how the car was restored or its real history.  It's too bad because it is a cool car -

I have always looked at things like this as value for the cost - if it is rebodied, fine, that doesn't really bother me - if it is done well it is still a 440-6 Trak Pack car, and that is cool whether a rebody, clone or original.  Just needs to be a fair price  :alan2cents:

It sure makes it look like they attempted to screw up the stamps on purpose just to make sure that everyone definitely knew that this was not a real V code Cuda.
