:hello2:perhaps you saw my 69 Cuda notchback body at Carlisle for $2300. It didn't sell, so I have cut the price almost in half for the opening bid on this auction. It's in Pittsburgh and I can deliver it to the Mopar Nationals in Ohio. I don't want to drag it back to Georgia and cut it up!:computer:

I also cut the price of my 69 Cuda grille too:

There's no reserve on either auction, so the high bidder takes them!

Thanks to the new rules, gold members can now post emal addresses and phone numbers, so I'm at [email protected] and 912-658-2549. THANKS!!!
 
hope i didn't make you mad i was just wondering about the price i was going to see if i could get a loan to get the car i just wanted to make sure of the amount or if i might be able to get it a little cheaper before i applied for the loan thanks again hope to hear from you soon
 
thanks for the pics. i will see what i can do i hate to ask this but is 1500.00 your bottom dollar

The car is going to sell at or before the Nats or be parted out. I am willing to take reasonable offers. It will be cheaper if I DON'T have to take it to the Nats (You pick it up in Pittsburgh)

Just remember that two repairable fenders, two very good doors, and the nose will bring over 1k at the Nats. Add in the small stuff and this car parts out for much more than $1500.
 
Cars stripped to bare metal and sitting out with NO PRIMER are not conducive to good prices OR easy restoration. I bought two cars in bare metal and had garage space for ONE.

Yeah that's unfortunate...was just saying from a buyers perspective it's a huge question mark.

I've personally been burned before on a car that was supposedly "ready for paint", when it was actually bondoed and primered, then driven for 2 years - lots of hidden rust. Luckily it was in the '80s before this stuff became ridiculously priced.

This car is DEFINATELY not "ready for paint". I don't want anybody to get that idea.
 
excuse my .02 here. Most of us fish fans have a desire for a 69 to restore. Some want a M-code 'cuda others want the a56/a57 and so on. My personal desire is a yellow mod top 69 notch.
A green/green/slant/bench survivor would be nice to own too but...
I honestly believe some cars are meant to be part donors for others.
Good luck either way.

Wasn't trying to imply that, just mentioned my lesson learned with primered cars in general - which is probably very similar to many other people's. Primer can hide alot of ugly bodywork and many people know this and avoid them.

Thanks for the comment! It's funny, as a parts vendor I wholeheartedly agree and I will get MUCH MORE parting it out (which I plan to do at the Nats). However, there has been so much recent outcry on the net about cutting up restorable cars, that I made a pledge to offer them whole first when possible.

Some sell, some don't. It's just one of the things where you try to please everybody, and you know where THAT can get you.

Yeah but you can get more by parting out any car really. I thank you for putting it up for sale first and I hope someone buys this. It's definitely closer to being restorable than it is to being a lost cause. I hate seeing these things get parted out when they don't have to. It just ups the cost of parts and cars for everyone.

It's allready been parted.... Taken apart and parted out/missing. Missing grilles, tailpanel pieces...
 
Yes it's been parted. When I got it it had one door and one fender on it. The owner had actually contacted a scrap yard about having it hauled off. The parts that are on it now were in a shed. Some that I DIDN"T get in the deal came off other cars.

It would have been SO much easier to sell those parts rather than take take the time to put it back together, prime it, list it and take the abuse that goes with such a listing.

I could have sold the torsion bars and adjuster bolts, upper and lower control arms, any frame rails that were good. Also the steering box and column, remaining glass, dash frame and gauge circuit board are all very good parts. After that I could have gotten
$100 or more for the carcass across the scales at the scrap yard.

The fenders, doors and sheet metal would have fit in a pickup truck on the trip to the Nats. I wouldn't need to drag in a car trailer, pay more fuel, and buy extra space.
I would have also made more money more quickly.

Instead, like others have expressed, I'd rather see the car restored. The more there are out there, the better the parts market in the future. It was more work and less money for what you see here.

Ironically, after all that I'll probably part it out anyway, so if there's something you want and you are coming to the Nats, PM me and I'll give you dibs Saturday morning if the car hasn't sold whole.

A couple of comments on FABO is abuse? I didn't say anything until the Ebay auction ended. And nothing on the actual ad (ebay). This thread is just a link to the actual ad.

You make it sound like it's a easy restorable car. But it's been parted and pieced back together. It's missing all kinds of little stuff. The poor sap that tries to fix it up to decent driver form by itself without another parts car will be so backwards in dollars it's just sad.

The buyers of cars like these are put on the Mopar hobby death wish list. Usually a young person from 18-28 years old with some discretionary income, no commitments, and lured into a project like this because of the low buy in price. So that person puts $10K and a few prime years in his life into this car. When it's still not running, he gets frustrated, sells it, and is out of the Mopar hobby for good.

Lot of time and hard work to dismantle something to a carcass. And it takes up a lot more room than a complete car. It won't all sell at one swap meet. And it will take lot of ebay listings with take time also to create, maintain, answer questions, and ship.

It's a lot of hard work to part out a car and sell the individual pieces. I'm sure you are all too familiar with that.

Amen. Evidently pointing out that people are wary of primered cars on Ebay = abuse.

I see it as a $400 to $500 car. It needs everything. The frame has issues. But I guess I should feel guilty for not jumping on it, then giving thanks that the parted out and rusty slant 6 car was saved, and offered at a complete rusty slant 6 car price. Sorry man.
 
Once again I feel the need to apologize in advance for anyone with special needs children and invoke the quote provided by JRR from the "shut the F@#K up foundation":
