That's crazy!

HOLY CRAP!!! It's unrestored too! I could have a very nice Mustang collection for that kind of money.

Had the opportunity not to long ago to get one of those, it needed the engine, but i think he only wanted like 6 grand.

Just like Barrett-Jackson.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy a 383 'vert and put and brand new 440 or 426 crate in.
Why is originality such a big deal? I understand the history of these cars is important, but I'm not gonna be shelling out the money for an original over a better-built clone; especially at those levels. I really think that all the people that pay big bucks for original cars are just a bunch of tools.

The Mopar guys are the worlds most fanitical people about prefect as it came off the line restorations. Also this Cuda is one of 17.....how many others can be left??? And buying the car is one thing,it would have to cost $100K to restore this at the cheapest!!!!!

Most of these limited production or still alive cars are going for big bucks and have been increasing in value rapidly over the last few years. The question is, when will they top out, to pay that kind of cash you would have to either be completely loaded (financially at least) or know for certain that it will increase and plan on reselling.

Besides, I would have no interest at all in having a car that is worth so much that I couldn't drive it. I would rather have a bunch of real nice higher prod muscle cars that I could drive!

What a joke. I hope whomever buys it loses their ass.

I guess I must be one of those tools.

I never ever put down anyone who wants to do a clone, restomod or pro touring because it is their passion, so I don't understand why you felt it necessary to put down other members of this board who prefer it just like it came off the factory line.

As far as this car, as stated, it is a true one of 17, not like a Marti Report that can drill down to make any Mustang a 1 of 1. The '71 Cudas are probably the most coveted of all the Cudas. Being a numbers matching V code vert, low milage car makes it even rarer. How many of these pieces of history are left in existance today?

As far as a 383 '71 vert, depending on the condition of the car, they can go for as little as $40K and as much as $150K. A crate hemi would probably set you back to the tune of $15-20K. Everything else, who knows which will depend on what you plan to do.

All that being said, like many other, I would find it ludicrous to pay high 6 figures for a car, that although is relatively solid, will still need $100K in the resto. I saw a B9 that was sold on Ebay for close to $50K which was a mess and a '70 428CJ vert that went for $75K that had more holes in it then swiss cheese.

To me, this is no different then the Shelby's that Tango seems to sell all the time. Ones that are in need of total resto are sold all day long for $50-75K.

yea someone is clearly bidding it up

Anyone who pays that money for that pile of crap deserves to get screwed in that deal

Gud T.B. Blown · Feb 2, 2007

Ten years from now this car won't be worth more than 100k at the most. Baby boomers are driving this craze and once we're gone so are the insane values. Remeber these cars pulling the big bucks are nothing more than basic cars with more desirable options. Look at what happened to Ferrari's back in the late '80's after Enzo died; Daytona coupes were going for over a million dollars and now they are below 200k all day long. And that was a truly special car, drivable car.

If you're going to pay crazy money for a car like this do it for the right reason; you want the car. Not for profit.
Speculators are driving the cost of this hobby ever higher and one day it will end with a crash and a lot of hobbists turned speculators are going to caught with their pants around their ankles and take a huge loss.

Can't we all just get along. There is room for all tastes and passions.

65ShelbyClone · Feb 3, 2007

I personally would'nt pay more than $15k assuming it really is "rare" and unrestored.

I'd love a '70+ Barracuda of any kind, but there is no way in hell I'd pay more than $20k(if I had that much) for 318 4-speed base 'Cuda in any condition. With that in mind, I'm perfectly happy with my $5000 Mustang.

not about mustangs, but jeez.......
