which is more desirable for a 70 cuda?
I would love opinions on the desirability of an original 70 cuda V code convertible with a date coded 440 engine versus a 70 cuda convertible with a matching numbers 383 engine. assume the condition of both cars is the same. Also, which one do people consider a better long term investment.
thanks

You're kiddin me, here, right? A V code, even if it's not a matching block, if done otherwise correctly, should be worth WAY more money
The cat's meow with a car like that would be if you could find a "warranty" block to put in it.

A date coded block would probably be just as well. A warranty block is exactly what the name implies -- "back when" the car was under warranty the owner ruined the block, and the factory replaced the block/ short block/ long block on warranty. So the numbers no longer match.
Back before the "big financial crash" I've seen Cuda sixpack and hemi BODIES WITHOUT an engine go for nearly as much as a running 383 car.
Did you say this is a ragtop? I'll bet there weren't all that many made. Make sure they are "legit" and not a "rebody."
