71 CUDA

[J-B Racing]

I am starting to look for my childhood dream car. So if you see or hear someone selling one not at a crazy price just let me know. I don't mind travelling see one. Hard Top or Convertible, Auto or Stick.

Thanks
Joe

Nevermind, my buddys car is NOT a Cuda. Good luck.

Thanks , but it is the 71. Not looking on going crazy and paying over $100K, but anything half decent under $50K

True 71 Cuda's are commanding big $$$. Shit the clones are in your price range with a decent driveline.

This website usually has some decent cars for sale. Good place to start or go to racingjunk.com

Ya I know!..I screwed up back in 1985 when I was 23 yrs old I could have picked up a 1970 Hemi Cuda Matching number, Shaker for $8500, but who would of thought then!...I still kick my ass and I am 51. So I have a pretty sore Butt...You have an idea what that car is worth today!!!!
Thank for the sites.

I'm a Mopar guy plain and simple when it comes to old muscle cars. I have a 68 Barracuda 340 Formula S 4 speed. Made the cover of Mopar Muscle Magazine in 2005. I still want a 70 AAR Cuda but they are getting out of reach for the normal guy. There's a lot of clones out there so be careful. I've seen true $$$ cars on ebay wrecked and rusted beyond repair sell for $15 to 20K. These guys aren't restoring them they're buying the VIN tag. Make sure you get some history behind the car or walk away.

I recently been told a story that's been floating around about a guy who bought a hemi charger only to find the original tags on another car supposedly documented by an "expert". I guess the tags were sold on eBay and somebody rebodied the car. Problem is somebody restored the original body.

Good luck finding one under 50K. I ran across this one on Ebay about 5 months ago cuz my dad is a big mopar fan. Right place at the right time:
71 convertible 426 hemi clone, pistol grip 4 speed in B5 blue... Drove it over the weekend with our local Mopar club with SloGN riding shotgun. Too cold to have the top down tho.

 

[J-B Racing]

Can I please have the address and time of day when nobody is there.....lol
I am patient. No rush.

Very nice car.

 

[BARRACUDA1968]

I'd almost rather have a clone. At least you could drive it.

Talk about how the world is funny. Just found one for sale 30 minutes from me. A clone 318 with a 340 / 4 speed Green $26,500 and this was posted yesterday.

 

[BARRACUDA1968]

Good color, love that style graphic and if the 340 is built right they run hard.

 

[Jerryl]

Very nice. Dream car, 30 min, $26k . . . Sounds like a winner if she is built right. Dunno. Good luck.

I think a 340 is baddest small block ever built. My first car was a 72 challenger with a 340 and a 727. It had 391 gears. I put a cam, aluminum intake and headers in it and crushed many big blocks back in the day. Still miss that car to this day. If I had the cash I would jump all over that clone for 26k.

The 340 is a killer small block, big boar short stroke. I stroked mine to a 416 with a 4" crank and 30 over. Then a $5000 set of CNC Indy cylinder heads, custom grind cam, intake, 1050 Dominator etc etc. The last time out after the new heads my 60's went from 1.5's to 2.1's. I couldn't hook the car to save my life. Bent all ten wheel studs, bananad' the perches on my Dana 60 and managed a 11.10 at 131 mph with a 2.1 60. I should have crashed and burned that day so I vowed never to race the car again. It's haunts me to this day, that car should do a 10.5 to a 10.20 but I'll never take it back to find out. I got handed a second life that day so I'll keep it. How my axle didn't come out from under the car I'll never know? At 131 mph it would have been over. I 4 linked it after that just because. It's a 4 speed car and it's violent rowing the gears. Lot's of fun but I respect it.

I'll get the GN down the track in the low ten's and call it a day.

I had a mostly stock 340 with a 292 mopar hyd. Cam and imported iron W2 heads running consistent 12.00 on pump gas. May seem slow today in our Buick world but was respectable 25+ years ago.
