WIW 1970 440+6 Cuda

In todays market, what is a 1970+6 Cuda, 4 speed w/dana worth? It is a N96 & A21 car, NOM motor. I don't know about the tranns yet.
Both quarters have been replaced. Real fender tag vin. Body numbers match.
The car is red with a black top. Interior needs a good cleaning and carpet replaced. Dash pad is very good. The paint is a driver but they painted around the hockey stripes.
I'm just looking for what a good deal price might be. I know without picture it's just a wild guess.

If it has the original shaker hood and original trans, and body done right, maybe $50-75 depending on a lot.

Without seeing it I would think 40k is a good starting point. Depends on a lot.

Yeah hard to put a number on it without more details.
Has it been sitting for years ( therefore needing to completely gone through and replace/rebuild all deteriorated components)?
Or was it an older resto and started /driven every once in a while?
Of course pics would help.

Quarters replaced, but painted around the hockey stripes ?

This^

I looked at the car closer. The hockey stripes on the quarters are installed over the paint. My mistake, however the small part of the stripe
that is on the doors have been painted around them. Why didn't they replace them, who knows.
Also, the trans number does not match.
The carbs are complete but are not correct for the year.
The car has sat for a few years. It started a few times and drove (ruff, no smoke) and shifted down the road but now its loaded up and wont start.

Thanks for all of the replies.

The simplest way to place a cash value on a car is to look at the recently-sold market, and deduct the cost of getting the subject car to that level.
Might want to round that projected repair cost up at least 10% - maybe 20% - due to surprises, price fluctuations, whatever.
That's based on getting a very good look at the car, plus experience.
Appealing combinations and/or sentimentality may add value; mysteries or an overall funkiness generally don't.
TV Auction prices are often inflated well over the actual market, of course.
The vision for what you want the car to be is quite significant, as well.
The appreciation curve is still pretty strong for many old cars, fortunately.

Can you post some pics of the car? I used to own one like you describe if its in Mich/IN/Ohio area. Did it ever have an automatic in it? Was anything mentioned about the motor being built by someone known?

Being a 70 V code Cuda,4 speed, shaker,Dana car,in a great color combo, it sure checks a lot of boxes. My friend has a survivor automatic V code 70 Cuda ,shaker car with rubber bumpers. It is matching numbers throughout. His car is red with black hockey stick stripes, black interior, no vinyl top. Although some might say his car isn't worth 150k that's what it would take to buy it. As far as this car in the thread goes, being non matching numbers and needing restoration, with soms incorrect pieces,40k is bargain basement price, and 60k would be above market, but I could see someone who has to have it possibly paying that much for the car.

Thank you for your response.

I thought Cuda's like you described were worth more, but I haven't kept up these cars for some time.

Ill update this post when I get more info.

^ I decide when I view a car what I want it to be for me. I’m fond of saying “you can’t get there from here” when the reality of what I’m looking at has a price too high.

Non original motor and transmission takes the car out of contention for serious collectors, and is probably a 25k hit to the value of the car once restored. Having the original shaker hood pieces,and the fender tag is a big plus,as is the 4 speed, Dana 60,and great color combination. If you can buy the car for a fair price it would be a great car to have and keep for yourself, because being a bit below a high end collector car makes it a V code Cuda you can drive, with an engine you can modify with a Source stroker kit and heads and still have it stock appearing, which I think is much more fun to own and drive than a 1000 point correct trailer queen that only goes to shows.
