'70 'Cuda 440-6/4-sp Convertible...Clone?
 
The seller does an admirable job stating that he believes this car is a clone that has had the VIN on 'one or more components' altered. Very interesting, but even as a clone, I'm guessing it will easily eclipse $50k as even the 318 cars are pretty scarce.

So, if this car's VIN didn't originally include the V engine code, I'm wondering how this would have been done. Possibly, a new VIN tag, plus an Alabama title?

You don't often see an auction description conclude with this phrase: "The winning bidder/buyer will sign a notarized hold harmless agreement, stating they are aware that the car is represented as an altered, non-numbers matching unit."

I thought it looked familiar. Here it is at the Chicopee, Mass, Northeast Hemi Owners national meet in May 1984.

Steve, since this is in your wheelhouse and you saw the car that long ago, any thoughts about the VIN/possible clone confliction?

I guess the car has popped up before on eBay and there is a thread on it here: https://forum.e-bodies.org/index.php...;topicseen#new

Looks like it probably was a rebody way back in the day, even before my photos.

Now the seller's 'CYA agreement' is eminently clear.

Even back in 1983 I thought the smallblock radiator support was a hint that things weren't quite right
