Are we really at 104K for a 383 2bbl convertible?
In the add, he states changed over. I believe he is referring to the air conditioner gas was changed over. He probably wants at least $95K. It is nice. I think it is a $80K car.
I mean it is nice, and if confirmed numbers matching survivor it is certainly rare. But nah, he is stretching (or dreaming) I think.
was for sale recently for 60k?

This looks like a nice older driver quality restoration. I do not know if it is worth any more being (poorly) cloned into a Cuda.
As far as value, I am seeing JUNK Barracuda convertibles selling for mid 20's and more. This car was a steal when selling a couple weeks ago for 60 and is probably an 80 - 90K car in todays market.
Big Difference between a BS and a BH Vert
I don't see 80K, but who knows, maybe a buyer won't care if the car is a real Cuda or not.
That Green Cuda Convertible went off for around 95K a few days ago.
It seemed like a pretty nice car.
Now, after re-reading I think changed over means cloned over.
No and WOW, Im shocked that it was sold to a FLIPPER :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

So did @indetrucks (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/indetrucks_13005) buy it ?
No, he didn't.
I looked over that car pretty well and it was a decent deal in the 55-60 range. This flipper is smoking crack is he thinks he can get 104K for it.

So what was your review, what held back indetrucks from buying it ?
Had lots of small things like paint /dings on both fenders at the headlight bezels, missing the trim rings, wrong antenna, not a '70 hood with dings and paint loss on underside, ticking in valvetrain when car is started (goes away when warm), secondary electric fuel pump added with switch under dash, A/C not working, cowl had paint removed to bare metal to show the cowl stamp, all chrome (bumpers/mirrors/pot metal conv mouldings) needs to be redone, aftermarket radiator, wrong oil breather, wrong air cleaner and more little things. A nice 55-60K car for a Barracuda convertible. Definitely not a 104K car. I can post my pics later.
Indetrucks wants something more original that will not need that much work.
Makes sense, thanks for the report...
Amazing what you can find seeing a car in person. I was close to buying a car in Florida before Roadman (RIP) volunteered to check it out for me. So appreciate that he saw it before I pulled the trigger. It had many unseen issues.
Here are some pics from when I looked at it
And a few more pics
:unbelievable: That is actually sad/shocking that they were asking $$$$ for that condition. I sure hope they did not sucker anyone!!
One more pic of the cowl
hmm, that is not at all what my cowl stamp looks like?? Mines a 70 Challenger (which I've owned for about 35 years), but looks like very different types of stamping methods. As you can see in the pic, mine is dented down/recessed numbers where this one seems to be raised numbers more like the VIN tag. Is that common or suspect?

I couldn't agree more. I have seen some cars that were very appealing to me in their online ads and pics. I flew out to see a couple and came home empty handed each time because they weren't so great up close and personal. To me, there is nothing like seeing it in person with one's own eyes. :alan2cents:
You find that a lot with auction cars. People online will be talking about what a steal a car just sold for at one of the auctions, but if you actually looked at the car there, you'd say that the glossy pictures and raving description in the online auction listing covered up a lot of issues.
Not to mention the number of cars out there with bigger issues like supposed #s matching drive lines that are actually restamped, cars that were "backhalfed" after an accident early on, or even rebodied. I'm not altogether sure how to protect oneself against buying a car with some of those issues. You have to do a lot of homework and be careful.
I'm always suspicious of a car that you see for sale repetitively at different brokers and auctions over the years. A lot of us enthusiasts tend to hang on to our good cars for a long time, therefore a car no one seems to want to own for long raises suspicions.
Wow ericRT, you know your stuff. Since you live very close to me, I would love to have you look at a future Ebody convertible to add to my collection. This flipper is just fishing for a huge profit.

Thank you. I will be more than happy to look at a car with/for you. :bigthumb:
