I drive by this car almost everyday, as of today, it is still sitting there. I
have never stopped to look at it, it is sitting at a body shop yard in Cypress, CA.
Here is a pic I snapped of it today from my rig while waiting at the light.
This is not my AD. IF anyone is interested, I would be willing to go look at it for you, I am not and expert on Cudas, so you would need to tell me what your looking for specifically.

Pic I snapped with my phone today. It looks to be pretty complete, but who knows.

That's a fairly steep price. But it looks like a pretty solid ride.

Thanks for posting it up!

Your welcome! It makes me sad to see it just sitting there rotting in the sun everyday, I wish I had the know how to restore it, and the money lol...but from what I have seen for project Cuda cars, the price doesn't seem too bad, but it is in Southern California, where everything cost more for some reason

Someone buy this car and save it please!

What would you guys say this cars worth?

The link doesn't work for me so without any details it would be impossible to say but it does look like it has some potential.

I couldn't get the link to load. If it is a real Cuda, the price may be a little high. It is hard to tell with just the one little pic.

Here you go. what would you say it's worth in its current condition?

 

[challenger6pak]

Is it your car Evilwolf? Again, it is hard to tell. The ad just has a price. Just because it came with a 340 doesn't mean the 340 is there. How do you know if it is a 340 car? It could be a Barracuda. I tried the link. The ad loaded but not the pics. I don't know why.

 

[challenger6pak]

Got the pics to load. If I were going to try and get the car, I would start at $8,000. The car will need a total restoration.

 

[DetMatt1]

That's what I was thinking as well.

 

[Evilwolf75]

No its not mine. I went to go check it out the transmission is in the trunk and it was mainly surface rust. I don't think it has any rot.
I've been looking at projects near by and the asking price is high. I'm not too sure what a non running project is worth in its current condition.

 

[DetMatt1]

If its truly rustfree you're way ahead of the game. I see it has one (at least) of the original exhaust manifolds. I'd check to see if its the original engine and trans and if there's a fender tag. Could be a nice find and if you're serious you should start at 8k and not be upset to pay more.

How do you know if it is a 340 car? It could be a Barracuda.

Remember, in the later years you could get a 318 in a 'Cuda (BS23G) and a 340 in a Barracuda (BH23H).

 

[challenger6pak]

Yes. That is true. I was just stating it could be anything until I was able to see the VIN. Here is the 73 dealer order sheet page the proves what you are saying.

 

[Evilwolf75]

Wow, Is that really what these go for in its condition.
I went and checked it out a couple days just to look at it. I didn't know what to offer him since I'm not really sure what a non running project is worth

 

[Evilwolf75]

Thank you for the input guys I appreciate it.
Love to learn about muscle cars

That's what some of these cars go for. Still a pretty steep price.
Did you get pictures of the car when you went?
Did you get a picture of the fender tag readout?
Interior pics?

No, out of my price range and too much work for me.
I found another one

how would one go about pricing a car that doesn't run?
not just barracudas I mean all old school muscle cars. Ive seen some that seem pretty steep for the condition their in. I guess it's all in how you handle the negotiation
