Car is giving me emotions. Truth told I cant see paying over a 100k for a Cuda that isnt factory optioned for a shaker, thats just me. I'd even take a N code vert like this if it was true N96 over a V code non shaker.

That all said, this car is my fantasy of the week


I only buy MADE IN USA.

So sounds like it’s NOM. I’m thinking restored the car is about.........300k??? So as it sits maybe 200k??? Given the current economy though, I could see this going for a lot less if deep pockets don’t show up.

I wonder what the sell through percentage will be at May Mecum.

I'm thinking Kissimmee 2020 might have been the last time to sell high for a long time.

I'd love to own the car.

I like it, guy around here had a 4-speed one that was his driver but it was nice. I bet it goes for good money. Numbers match really don't mean much with the desirability of the 6bbl converts, not like a bunch of others are for sale.

Take that back. I'd ditch the console and add a FOUR SPEED!

For a 440-6, I'd go with an automatic. Remember the old mag article where they labeled the hemi slushbox as the "sword-in-stone - only King Arthur can shift it" ?

Years ago - around 1978, I was looking at a local 440-6 Cuda 4-speed & took it for a ride. Not fun rowing through the gears on that one!

Greg is the one who added the hood and other options to it once he got it from the Blake's collection several years ago. Rumor is he wants $700,000 for it.

Holy crap.....turn in your man card. My 440-4 Cuda for the last 15 years has been an 18 spline 4 speed. If it was good enough for Ronnie, it’s good enough for me! “Not fun rowing through the gears on that one”????. Wow!

Are you serious? If true I would bet he’s going to be the owner for awhile longer!

Back during the peak of the market, in 2006,I saw a nicely restored GY8 gold V code 71 Cuda convertible for sale at the Mopar Nats, with a 650k asking price.! This was back when the 71 Hemi Cuda convertibles were bringing 3 million plus. This guy is dreaming!
