MATCHING NUMBERS Cuda

[Manuel]

Hello,

Have a Cuda 340,  1971 and would like to know the parts that need to match so it can be classified as matching numbers.

Any guide for that?

Does the rear axle need to be matching numbers?

Best regards,

Manuel

"Matching numbers" can mean two things, typically it relates to the VIN number of the car which can be found in 11 places.
1)   Dash Tag
2)   Fender Tag
3)   Broadcast Sheet
4)   Upper Cowl
5)   Rad Support
6)   Engine Block
7)   Transmission Case
8 )   DS Door Sticker
9)   Warranty Card
10) Window Sticker
11) Title/Ownership

It can also refer to how original your car is, and whether or not it still has all it's original date coded parts.

....If you're concerned on whether or not your car has the correct original part numbered, date coded parts, that's a very long list, including most of the engine parts, etc.......the 8 3/4 rear axle assembly DOES NOT have any casted or stamped VIN numbers or even date codes that I'm aware of.

Thanks Anlauto,

Excellent news, I have owned this 340 since it had 2500 km here in Guatemala.   47 years ago,
It was still with new cars at the show room.   Belonged to the owner of the dealership.

Only thing I remember to have changed that made me wonder if it is matching numbers was the rear axle.

Tks again.

Can't thank you enough for the compliments Guys!!!   Wohoooo!

Original interior except the carpet.

Very general, but if my car is the way it looks and matching numbers, around what could be its price?

Four speed or automatic, Standard or rallye instrument cluster?

Likely around the $50K USD range

A fender tag readout would help us understand what the car truly is for estimating a value. 
Or a good clean shot of the build sheet!

I'm very curious if the car has a fender tag.  It seems many export cars had the fender tags removed. 
does it have an import tag on the inner fender?

Super cool that it's in Guatemala. there can't be many of those.

Tks Gents,

It is 4 speed manual shift.   Like a pistol grip.
Will try to take a pic of the instrument panel. It is all black in kind of a sand texture?

The only Cuda in this country as far as I know.
A friend had a Hemy but sold it and they crashed it decades ago.

Excuse me,

Were is the fender tag located?

What is a buid sheet?

Sorry.


Brgds.
