I've been around 71 cuda's for quite a while. It's hard to find a car like that these days that hasn't changed hands a dozen times in the past decade with everyone trying to make a buck on it every step of the way. Looks like a decent car, price is just what someone is willing to pay.

[@deeremeyer1749]

That's because only idiots are looking for 'cars like that" and only fool "sellers" waited this long to "cash in" on a bottom of the "high performance" small-block smog-era slushbox rusted-out low-impact paint California-emissions "rare" 'Cudas with AC that are "valued" at double or triple what a "good" and "solid" small-block/six-cylinder BARRACUDA "economy model" can be bought for to "clone" a big-block - 'Hemi or 440 Magnum with the latter being the far more "attainable" and "affordable" and "profitable" project car to "clone" - 'Cuda only by the idiot "sellers" because.they're "already 'Cudas" and can be "parted out" so "profitably" by selling "online" all the unneeded and "rare" and "sought after" and "factory original" non-big block "parts" to help "finance" the "cloning" of the "body" into a "HemiCuda". Of course no Hemi car ever had AC, everything forward of the "floorpans" on/in a small-block E-body has to be "swapped" to "clone" a big-block Hemi 'Cuda, nobody wants a "seven two seven" slushbox beind a 'Hemi and "factory original" automatic Hemi AND 440 Magnum 'Cudas are so "rare" on such expensive engine-option "high performance" cars for a reason and you can't "make money" or "break even" or anywhere near it "restoring" much less "cloning" any 'Cuda these days unless you're on the RECEIVING END of the restoration/cloning "investment" and there isn't a "high-end" restoration shop on the planet that isn't "5 years out" on restorations already and none need or want to "make money" working for idiots that "invest" in "rare" muscle cars nobody wanted and/or needed to "acquire" for damn near 25 years and were "parked" YEARS AFTER the first - and last - "million dollar Mopar" Hemi B-bodies sold "at auction". Especially since no HARDTOP Mopar Hemi E-body has hit HALF that number even after 25+ years of "inflation".

@@youteo3596 Back in 1980 I bought a 70 442 convertible that was Matador Red with white interior. It had 110K miles and had been driven fairly hard but was overall decent paint original car. It smoked a little when driven hard but ran good. The first couple of years I drove it as it was. I drove it everywhere and had a great time with it. Then I had it apart for a 2 year restoration. It turned out great but I was afraid to drive it. I had a ton of cash in it for those times and sold it in the end and started another build. If I would not of restored the 442 I would of kept it and continued to have a good time. So I am with you on your assessment on this Cuda! The Mustang I now have is totally original down to the last thing and I will never restore it.

According to my source, which is a Cars & Parts ID number book, these are the following interior colors for all 1971 Plymouth models. Light blue, medium blue, dark blue, russet, green, tan, light gold, medium gold, black, black & orange, black & white and black & white again. There is no two tone color combination like that listed.

@@lucky-rowe2623 ain’t that just a kick in the head. Well right now idk if know but the Toyota FJ Cruiser ultimate edition. 2014 heritage blue now that’s an investment you can look into. Maybe 13 yrs from now they’ll be up into the 100’s depending on mileage.

I love this episode to much Richard awesome one.That goes for anyone if you can help someone help them don't bring them down we all have our moments

"You're the car guy""...😒 No, car flipper, there's a big difference.

[@schmuhf]

The 1971 Cuda is probably the best looking muscle car for me, slightly ahead of the 70 Challenger, 68 Charger and 69 Camaro. I even dig the color and had I won one of Richard's cars, I'd definitely pick this one and have the monkeys fix/restore as much as the cash in the glovebox allows.

[@fullfunk]

what bout olds 442 or chevelle ss

[@schmuhf]

@@fullfunk The Chevelles are not bad, but purely from a design perspective, the 71 Cuda is the best for me.

[@internet_internet]

Beautiful car. I was surprised even when he jokingly said 35k. Prices have certainly gone wild compared to when I would look.

I got a 65 Impala SS undercoated all original it was given to me by my grand father he says it runs but it needs a lifter and a push rod.

[@Mak-Velli]

I can’t wait to see what you do with that Gem!

[@skibootdier9488]

Richard usually under-values MOPARS..

[@phantomwalker8251]

fix dents & rust on original panels,polish it,sell it..

[@Mak-Velli]

Would be a nasty built car!

If I was sweepstakes winner #1 I'd absolutely 200% take the Cuda over anything

[@justrobocon6538]

Jake, it is absolutely clear that you are thinking appropriately! Only a brain dead IDIOT would pass on that 'Cuda. 🤔🤟😎🤘

[@Docmiller4425]

I think this is a smart choice.
