Wow! Offer on my Cuda
$35K Sure you would be bucks ahead, but depending on the part of the country you live, you may be bucks behind. Lots of parts of the country all thats left are rust queens, or nothing, or you have to buy something and have it shipped from somewhere else. And hunt for parts that seem to get pricier and pricier everyday. If you cant personally inspect it, its a craps shoot as to what your gonna get. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you dont know. It all depends on weather or not you want to start over.
I had a 68 383 charger i painted B5. First car i ever owned . I sold it , regretted it, and found a 69 charger 318 car i made into a 440 4 speed R/T fake. I was able to do this one better than the first car because i had more experience at 20 years old than at 16 years old with the first one. I still missed the 68 charger though even though i did the 69 up better.
Although with $35k you could have 2 of em. One for you and one for the missus.
