71 Cuda opinion on value requested

[VS29HIB]

Hi, This is NOT a thin veiled for sale thread or anything. Its not my car, but I hope it might be someday soon. I want to describe a car that a good friend has and I would like an opinion of valuation. I understand there are variables, but I know these cars well enough to see quality and originality, so please bear with me.

1971 Cuda, B7 blue, Black vinyl top
Original 340 car with a 4 speed, the engine is not matching, but the trans is. "hidden" body numbers intact and matching.
Original N96 shaker car
Original V6X black billboard stripe
Original fender tag and build sheet to prove these.
Older restoration (20-25 years ago). Nicely done, no bondo, all solid. Some patches were used, but much original sheet metal. Nice interior with redone seats. 8.5/10 driver plus car in my opinion. Cleans up good enough for any show.
Owner has resto pictures, before and after, etc. Good documentation.

Thank you for your time.

You’re going to get all kinds of figures I suppose. In my opinion, a billboard, 4-spd, 340 71 Cuda comes in just below the multi-carb 71 cudas in desirability/value. The 71 340 cars frequently have great handling options as well (front+rear sway bars, quick ratio power steering). I’m thinking $75K

If you can scoop it up for less than $55,000 and are going to keep it for awhile and enjoy it, you're decision is made for you. The main thing about a car is if it "does it" for you and this one sounds like it does. 71 is a very desirable year as they produced low quantities compared to 1970.

a billboard car, nice I'm thinking floyd is about right.

 

[Mr Cuda]

Everyone goes crazy for 71's. They made less than 1000. Very few shakers.
How much does he want?
He's a friend? Offered you at a price already? Less than $75?
Pay him.

How many 340 N96 cars were there? I do not think I have seen a 340 shaker other than this one.
Thanks, He has not thrown out a price. He sure is proud of it, as he should be.

Here is a BS for sale. Field find ran when parked $100K A Numbers matching 71 HEMI CUDA,4sd,AC,Shaker,M46,A67 Backlight Louver, Colored Bumpers Package and covetable very low miles. Very rare color Spring special. It's a down to earth price. It will vanish quick at that price. OH! I almost forgot it a factory sunroof car. The condition is everything. Pictures give a better idea of condition and what it's worth.

This car ticks a lot of boxes, 71 Cuda, billboard, shaker, 4-speed, desirable color. At 8.5 out of 10 I'd guess that he could sell it for $75K+ without much trouble.

 

[Xcudame]

Pictures would definitely help. Especially closeups of known trouble areas - lower rear quarters outside and inside between the wheel well and rear valance, Rear window at the lower moulding, front floor boards and trunk floor. That's why I went low at $55k. Could be worth more if it's truly an 8.5 outa 10. But that's subjective, especially without photos.

I almost bought the same car in 80 it was a 71 340 Cuda shaker 4spd in Winchester Grey , louvers all documented , he wanted 12k in 80

I think $60K - $85K is reasonable...

I agree, these are highly desirable when done correctly with all the paperwork.

 

[Droop69]

Original shaker parts all there? 75k all day long. Find another one...
