Even though my SF vert is an original 440HP car, there's no way I can turn it in to a Hemi Cuda vert clone... so it'll never be worth what this steaming coil of a Barracuda will probably sell for. I think the Barracuda is interesting in that it's a /6 convertible that came in a high-impact color, but I'd bet it's going to be a Hemi clone when it's all said and done. If I had $50K to throw at restoring a car, you can bet I'd be putting together a Hemi clone, too. Even if you spent $20K on this hulk, another $30K on the resto, and $20K on the engine/trans/drivetrain, it'll pull double or triple that at B-J. I just don't have the cash to throw around like that. If I did, I sure would.

So what does this make my 70' challenger convert ( 318/904 ) car that is rusty but complete worth now? Not counting allt he NOS stuff I collected for it years ago, and the AM/FM thumbwheel, & the Ralley hood etc etc.

The winner is going to put the "Magnum 440, 4-speed, 4.10 gear" fender plate that he bought last week onto this car when it is finished and make his money back several tmes.
