Really interesting to listen to the stories and history of the car. The guy seems legit. Also crazy to hear how the dealership and factory screwed up the order sheet and options, in multiple areas....
One particular thing that is strange is the car is a late delivery 1971 (August 71) and has a 1970 Go Wing. I have heard that very early 1971 Cudas used up the leftover 70 Go Wings, but have never heard of a late 71 with one. If indeed it is original, maybe the factory used whatever it had available left?

what in the heck are you talking about, how about a picture?
this is actually a very rare 71 Cuda with all those desirable options, fender tags legit and factory black. most of the representations of the seller seem fair and impressive paperwork. but then the story crosses over into areas that don't make any sense. original black paint from 1971???? that's where the years of moonshine short circuited the wires. I had an original 70K mile 383 71 cuda purchased from original woman owner in 1995 in calif. always garaged. all original black paint but black paint never held up, even in Cali weather. still had a few areas especially on roof where black paint was worn thru. now picture referenced car being driven on backroads of Tennessee back then. probably on gravel roads, etc humid, rainy weather, rock chips, drag raced, etc. then seller claims he washed it 3 times a week.
ordered with shaker but not delivered that way? no evidence of shaker anywhere in paperwork provided, shaker setup definitely available you could order at dealer up until about 1977. that A21 hood probably put on when other owner drag raced the car. also car has correct A01 1971 fender turn signals but those weren't available with shaker hood cars.
agree with above comments about the go wing being wrong. probably replaced later on but can't imagine factory putting it on there, they were still available in parts department.
I was waiting for him to explain how a 22 year old back then could afford to purchase this car especially loaded with all these options. most cudas bought didn't have many options because it was all you could do to afford the smallest monthly payment. remember minimum wage back then was $1.50 an hour (not a misprint) and they only gave you 3 years to pay off the loan.
still a fantastic car, priced over the moon but probably worth 85-95K??
