We moved this car for a friend of my Dad's today. 1971 Cuda Convertible. Been sitting since 1980. Hasn't seen daylight since parked. His parents bought the car NEW! So I would assume he has ALL the paperwork since new. Never been touched. Only 33,961.7 miles. 383 Special order, Auto console, wood steering wheel, TRIPLE WHITE??? Believed to be 1 of 340 or 370? Either way SUPER RARE AND COOL CAR!! No restoration is planned. Plans are new brakes, a few gaskets, and other necessary essentials and DRIVE IT LIKE IT IS. By the way NO its NOT FOR SALE... Although feel free to throw a price what you think it's worth.

 

I'm by no means an expert or appraiser, but 10-16k feels about right...unless it's totally roached, I couldn't tell for sure from the photos. Cool car.

 

Been doing a little research on this thing. WOW is all I can say! Never thought I'd KNOW of such a RARE car. From what I can find is this...
About 374? 1971 Cuda convertibles were built.Of those built 128 were 383 cars. Of those 128, 87 were equipped with the Automatic Transmission, most of which were on the column, NOT the floor shift with console like this one! There were another 31 Cuda Convertibles that were built for sale in Canada, for a total of 159 cars. So this would make this one 1 of 87. Then if you reallllly wanted to get in to the one of numbers with other options. It could be 1 of 5-10?? Im not sure about all the options yet. I know its not a Dana 60, no shaker hood, All white, had hubcaps on it. Had to take them off to get it to roll. No billboards, wood grain wheel, manual windows, not sure about the top or seats. Original motor and trans. So this car is one of the REAL DEAL BS27N1B cars.

 

Surely it's worth more than that. Anyway it's an awesome car regardless.

 

I just figure a car is worth no more than the market will bear. My Charger is "worth" 45k, but I'd be hard pressed to get more than 28-30k for it in this economy.
