Hmmm, 90k and don't know if it's the original engine........

And 4 whole pictures at 90K.
Nice looking car, but being a BL1 car I do tend to think that's a little steep.

Not my car. There are lots of photos on the provided link. It could be a northern rust bucket for all we know. These consignment places negotiate so it could be had for far less $.
Most presentable Cudas can go for $60k plus so caveat emptor.

I like and follow 70 Cuda's
That is a ridiculous price for that car.

Many are attempting to get max $ since they see Mecum and B-J E-Bodies getting higher sale prices this year.

The auction sales I have seen were much more desirable models and were in much better condition.

Example: Loaded red Challenger T/A with factory louvers (non-matching T/A engine) at Kissimmee 2026 for $143k and a second NOM orange T/A for same money. Both cars were not perfect but were extremely nice and the errors could be corrected without a lot of extra expense.

Negotiate this Cuda to below $60k.

This car was advertised on Facebook Marketplace by a private owner last fall for something around $65k. Doesn't seem like Mopar enthusiasts are "lining up" for it at $90k as the dealer wrote in their description.

I'm in the market for a '70 340 Cuda and have been watching ads for a while. I truly don't understand how dealers can stay in business buying cars at or around market value and then relist them for 1.5 to 2x market value and then just sit on them for years. Don't they need to move inventory? I guess not.
