I guess it comes to this

I was on Ebay looking for parts and came across this 71 Cuda.

1971 Plymouth Barracuda Cuda | eBay

This 1971 Cuda is 1 of 2008 340 autos made.Being a factory Purple car with white top and its options it is a rare one. Wheels on car do not go with it,will have rollers on it for transportation.

If you read the writeup you are buying a VIN plate and fender tag, it needs everything else.

OMG what the hell happen to that poor Cuda. Looks like a tree fell on it. Your right it would need everything. Like was stated the vin and fender tag is there.

IMO It looks like a rollover and then it sat in a junk yard and was picked apart.

You would need to be a masochist to take this one on

I guess there's 6 of them, and it's up to almost 5k

It'll buff out.

May be good for yard art. LOL.

But on a more serious note. I could see buying this. It says it has a good title, not a salvage. If you just happen to have a stolen 71 Cuda laying around you could instantly increase your investment 10 fold.

There is a drawback that vin number is stamped all over these cars. But that is a thought. Know a shop that restored a car, and the FBI came in and took the car from the shop. It was just about finished so the guy told me. They did not know it was stolen as it was a customer's car. What a bummer.

Dash, radiator support, trunk lip, engine and transmission. Am I missing any place?

 

[MoparDan]

WOW! it sold for $13,300.00!

 

[quikbird]

Going to need an exceptional shop to do the metal repairs. Possibly amd’s shop

 

[MoparDan]

It is certainly beyond my abilities.

And the Vin Plate and Fender Tag are in poor condition

Someone has a big job ahead of them!!!!! Even after buying my car did not see how much rust damage was there till, I started the restore process. This is going to be a long process. Got over 5 years in mine. Alos a ton of money. But guess it will be all worth it when their done.

Yes indeed paint, undercoating and dirt can hide a lot of problems.

That thing is getting re-bodied. No one in their right mind would try to save that POS.

 

[Russ69Runner]

It will be just about every part of the car replaced. Not to mention trying to find all the interior parts. Guess if someone has enough money and time to spend on it then they can have at it. Still in the end it will not be an all-matching number's car. But after watching auction's on Tv you see a lot of cars with different motors in them and drive train. They still sell for a lot of money. Maybe they think it is rare enough to save it and bring back to life. Thinking they may make money off it. They are getting harder to find. Good luck too them is all I can say. where is my beer assistant. LOL.
