Bad omen for the value of 69 M-Code Cudas
I think the naill has been hit on the head a few times here!! For one, the car was too fresh on the block, and the resto done and then rushed to market may have hurt it some! More so tho, and this is just my opinion, when a car needs a lot of metal work, it diminishes the value exponentially!! I know there is good metal out there, and people are doing better than factory jobs on replacing that metal, but to me, when metal is replaced, I tend to shy away from the car more so than I would an original metal car! The more metal replaced, the less I become interested!
I have been actively looking to trade my all original metal GTX for a 70 Roadrunner, and came across this 44k original mile example near me! It was going to be a 3 car deal, he was going to trade me 3 cars for mine, but the RR needed every panel replaced from a bad storage situation, and the other cars (68 Cuda and 67 Coronet R/T) would not have paid for the resto! Not to mention that I would've gone from an all original metal car to a car with every panel replaced!! I really want a 70 RR, but not at what I consider a trade down for one!! Does that make sense??
