Unrestored '70 440-6 'Cuda

[scuncio]

Well how about this one...claiming to be a 48,000 mile car with the original motor and one repaint. If that rough V-code 4-speed project that came on the market earlier this year was bid to around $60k, granted this is an automatic, I'm going to be watching closely to see where it goes.

Just gorgeous.

why are the 1s on the vin pad completely different?

You mean the dashpad VIN? Those are normal "1"s for an E body VIN.

No matter what, there always seems to be a very healthy market for V code E bodies. Gorgeous, timeless body style IMO

The second gorgeous.. ;)

That 440+6 engine was a frightening beast. I remember breaking a throttle return spring coming out of the East Haven, CT toll booths back in the 1980's. The throttle stuck wide open on all six barrels. The car traveled a quarter mile in second gear before I was able to shut it down. I had to turn the key back one click to kill the ignition while holding on for dear life, (trying not to lock the steering column in my near panic state) while still in gear and accelerating. The backfire through the exhaust shattered one of the toll booth windows from that distance. They called the state troopers who found me on the side of the road, they finally believed me when they saw the pieces of the broken spring laying on the intake. They even loaned me some rubber bands to create a makeshift replacement spring.

Was going to bid on this pre bid retraction. Now its just a joke. Ebay needs to worry more about getting bidders CC numbers and charging fees for retractions and non payments rather than worrying about taking walmart gift card payments for products

Is this seller for real???? "Rumble steering wheel" and "A track radio", among other goof-ups??? Hard to believe anyone that owns a car like this is that ignorant.

[njsteve]

I think he's just a flipper (look at his other cars listed and prior auctions).
In his other listings he's got a weird habit of posting photos of the cars with the prior owners standing next to them. If I was a prior owner, I'd be mad as hell if he did that without asking me.

Is the pistol grip handle on the shifter correct for and automatic car? I thought that was only on 4-sp cars.

no, not correct.

[njsteve]

It’s an aftermarket shifter handle.

How did seller end auction?. It was up w 2 hrs to go,I've never been able to end an auction in the last 24 hrs of the auction . ??

[sixt9rsx33]

I don't know...something smells about this deal. Goofy ad, ending auction with two hours left? Just my gut...

[the427king]

Still want to know how it ended like that, ebay does not allow ending auctions in the last 24 hrs..maybe ebay ended it??
