In the last 12 months I have sold off 350k in collector cars in order to complete the construction of our new home. I would have liked to have sold a few of my cars for 25% more based on 2-3 years ago pricing but the market was and is not going to pay it. My thoughts on the value of yours was based more on the recent experience I have had selling mine.
I had a 1970 Cuda,
BS23U xxxxxx that was completely restored down to the unabody on a rotisserie, many NOS parts used on a 50,000 original mile Cuda. A Ray Barton 528 Hemi and an an EFI was set up on it. Too much to list. Went to a collector in Florida that just loves it. Here is a link on that car, it had been in many Mopar mags., and Car Craft, Oct. '99. Had it for ten years and bought it from Matt Delaney.

During the height of the market this could have sold for 100k to the right buyer. I tried hard to get more but the money and buyer(s) were not out there. IMO the market has gotten much worse since I sold it.
Bottom line is money is tight, unemployment is high, credit is squeezed, and those with money are thinking hard as to if they should be buying at all. This all contributes to a real buyers market.

I appreciate your comments and thoughts You are spot on with your remarks about the bottom line.
I know that it is hard to determine the true meaning of the written word. Many apparently think that I have my nose out of joint over this thread, but I can assure you that I don't. None of the people that have contributed to this thread are buyers for this car and are simply stating what they THINK is a value on my car. I don't take offense at any of it.
Thanks for the info and link. That is a nice car. Unfortunately as you know Mopar E bodies took some of the hardest hits in the last 3 years on prices.
Although you did not state a sales price for the Cuda and neither does the article, I know that YOU are aware of it but for the benifit of others here that don't know, the "U" in the V.I.N. of this car means it was originally a 440/375 h.p. 4 barrel car NOT an original Hemi car. I just don't want others to try and compare this as a REAL Hemi car for pricing comparisions.
