In the current market, yes. I sold my '69 4 speed numbers matching GTX for a fraction of that in 2021, but it recently changed hands at over $80K.

Buying....I did describe it. The interior is nice, black bucket seat console, the bottom has no rust but I do not have a pic of it. Just looking for an educated guess given what you see.

Who is paying these ridiculous prices? Nice cars no doubt. Just crazy what people are asking for anything these days.

I had a serious offer on the current GTX last year that was almost twice what I paid and currently have it insured for. I researched the guy's back story, and it was no bs. Wealth in the hundreds of millions. They are out there, and some of them like B bodies.

I get ridiculous offers for my cars all the time. I don't care what they are worth. I just love these cars for what they are. I still feel like a kid when driving them.

At that price point, I'd want to see pretty serious documentation, and complete owner history. I recently did an inspection for a fellow FBBO member on a really nice '69 Road Runner with an immaculate paper trail, and he ended up buying the car for considerably less than the asking price on the GTX in question. If a deep pocket guy decides he likes the car as well as you do, all bets are off.

Thanks all..now the question I am wrestling with. I have someone offering me $65K for my 70 Cuda. Matching number 383, 4 speed, Sniper FI, p/s in really good condition. I really wanted to get into another B Body but I think the $65K is low. Fender tag and 2 build sheets. Thoughts on that??

I was in your situation in 2021 when I sold my four speed car to buy a numbers matching '68 Hemi GTX from a fellow FBBO member. Even at 2021 prices, I took a bath on the car I sold, relatively speaking. But the Hemi was a once in a lifetime deal for me in terms of price, condition, and location. I bit the bullet on the sale of the one I already owned, got a great deal on the Hemi and never regretted the move. A lot depends on the final price and condition of the GTX in question. Don't have experience in E body pricing, but my experience in selling GTX's (three nice ones since 2021) is that low ballers will beat a path to your door.

Me too. However, I am a B Body and an E Body guy. I like them both and own both.

I would keep the Cuda. Similiar value give or take and you know what you have. Most of the time new car=new problems.

Kind of what I was thinking.....knowing what I have vs the unknown. I threw some money at an inspector and should have a report possibly tomorrow. If the car checks out then I am going to have to decide.....
I wish I could, but I don't have the room. Only way to make room is sell the Harley's and that ain't happening..... so it's either keeping the Cuda or buying the GTX......
If you factor how much it costs to build these cars these days,you couldn't buy a numbers matching numbers N96 4 speed 70 GTX in a great color combo and restore it for the asking price,can you? I am the wrong person to ask about selling the Cuda to buy the GTX,because I don't make those kind of decisions,I would say keep both! 65k is atleast 10k to low on the Cuda. This is how I make room for another car!

I am unquestionably a Mopar B-body fan, above all others. However, in this case, if I'm spending $65-70k, and all things being equal on those 2 cars... I'm going for the Cuda. That car is gorgeous ! Just my opinion, of course. ( A little Renton-ese lingo there for ya )

Numbers motor and trans?
Buildsheet?
Picture of fender tag?
Most 4.10 4spd cars aren’t numbers trans and motor. So look at stampings REALLY close.
Is your inspector a dedicated Mopar car with years of experience?
That car has all the right options for a 440-4bbl car. Almost too good to be true. Post stamping and fender tag here.

To end the story...I told the seller I was sending an inspector and that he would contact him...the inspector called the next day and the seller said he was leaving the country for 10 days--but never told me!!. I passed on the car--he can keep it if he wants to play games. I decided I am keeping the Cuda.

Smells scammy
Sounds like a scam, If he was going out of the country why didn't he say so when you told him you were sending an inspector. Sounds like he looking for a buyer who will buy it over the internet site unseen.
