Hi, Im a chevy guy looking for a cuda or challenger. Not looking to flip a car or get one at 1/2 price. At the same time im not looking to pay more than market value. I like 70 71 challengers and cudas. Motor cu in not really important,coupe or convertible ok. I want a done car, or one that doesnt need much[needing paint ok] because I dont have the knowledge or time to hunt down parts . I am flexible on price as far as what im looking to spend. Like survivor type cars w small motors over restored cares w big motors. Very flexible. looking to buy something in the next few months,and help appreciated or if anyone can lend a dumb chevy guy some advice! thanks I have alot of chevy parts and cars to trade as well.

 

Welcome!

 

welcome to the forum and to the world of mopars once you are here you will never go back to that c word lol try looking in hemmings motor news mag they have all kinds of cudas and challengers in there

 

You looking locally or is anywhere fine?

 

welcome to the forum

 

Welcome! We have a classifieds forum here, I would check that out. Then again, there is always craigslist. You could always bring what you find here for opinion and guidance on condition and price, or what to look out for. Anyway, have a good time shopping! There are plenty of folks here who will be happy to help you out.

PS, I am a former Corvette guy who has gone to the dark side

 

Welcome to the forum. I was talking to a guy the other day said he had a challanger for sale. He said it was very nice and bigblock car. But I've never seen it. p.m. me I can see if i can get ahold of him.

 

Welcome to the forum.... Welcome to the Mopar World also....

 

here's a step up from a chevy...

 

That may have a little more power than what he's used to John.
A cheby guy and a OPW .... my two favs.

 

hey john that might be two steps up from a cheby

 

Im looking at the 1970 red red 440 six pack car on ebay for 120K and a local ta challenger for 60s ...does anyone know if thats a good price on either ..I know nothing on ebay is a great deal, but again i dont mind paying a fair price, most people only buy when they can make money thanks

 

Links?

 

Hope you know that you can buy 3 chevelles for what your going to spend on a 1970 red red 440 six pack car "thats no chevy its a MOPAR"

 

post some links, and we can look at them for you

do you know of any underneath pics?

 

"do you know of any underneath pics?"................No. but i take that to mean there is a problem with the car that you know about? Maybe he put a chevy 12 bolt in it w a M22 rockcrusher ?? !! Would really like a 71 cuda convert,340 motor cant afford a 440 or hemi

 

haha
i just wanted to see the rear
if you are ever unsure of a car, just post it here and we can help you out

 

Thanks,appreciate the help ! I just hope you mopar guys arent like the chevy guys, someone comes on and shows a car they are looking at and 3 people say its junk while they are en route to go buy it !!!! Just Kidding !

 

haha

 

I'm sure that we have one or two people here that would do that..... of course they were probably C#*$y people before. LOL

 

Can someone give me ballpark figures on what I will pay for a 71 Cuda,coupe and convertible [of course no 440 3/2 and hemi cars.] Also what are the motor options[cu in size and HP] on them and associated prices for real cars w those motors. One last thing, how does nom motor affect price. Thanks again. I have pretty much decided thats what I want.

 

Try Nadaguides.com. I'll get the link on the year/options you want

 

http://www.nadaguides.com/default.as...i=82956&d=4950

 

List of all the sizes, options in the car, just check the boxes and get the price. They vary from car to seller and vice-versa but you'd most likely get one in those prices. +/- 5-10,000

 

One question though, Why not try getting into restoration? It's a fun experience, good hobby. The car in my album is my first ever car, she was in rough shape when I bought her, now she's starting to show her true colors. Buying this car and bringing it home, I knew NOTHING about how to go about fixing it, first project car, first time really working on a Mopar.

Yeah you'll run into a lot of problems down the line when you actually get in there and go to fix things but it'll work out in the end.

I used to look into buying Nuvva's and Chebelles, but then I saw the true power a Mopar could bring to the table, found this one and fell for it without a second glance.

 

Actually I restore chevys and have ability to do most the work myself. I am also a rare chevy parts vendor That being said I know from my experiences what a chevrolet restamp part looks like and the way people make 2.00 parts appear to be 2000.00 parts etc. I do not however know the value or nuances of the mopar parts thats why i want a car thats pretty much done. Id need 10 years to educate myself on mopars the way i know chevys...Thanks for link and info ill check it out

 

Ok, Narrowed it down to a 71 barracuda convertible, 318 340 or 383 motor,want a solid car. Trans,color and options irrelevant with the exception I dont want beige or green on green. Have aot of chevy cars and parts to trade if someone wants to swap over to hi perf ... Thanks I do have an observation to make, Ive followed a bunch of Cudas and challengers the past two weeks on ebay. When ive searched the high bidders on many cars,while I cant see who they are due to ebays privacy policy ,they always seemed to have 5 -15 bid retractions EACH,which is incredibly high and shows guys are bidding up cars and reetracting the bid when they are high bidder . I know all types of cars get shill bid and the like, but you mopar guys especially seem to have a real problem.
