WIW? 4 Speed 440-6 'Cuda Convertible on eBay

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

I saw this ‘Cuda on eBay last week. Bidding was at $300k with reserve not met (the auction has since ended). I e-mailed my buddy Scott, who is a true expert when it comes to Mopar values (he also happens to own a 440-6 ‘Cuda) and asked him what he thought the car was worth in the current market. Here’s what he wrote back:

Keeping in mind that it’s a buyer’s market……

Negatives:
Engine #’s don’t  match
No broadcast sheet
Color is only middle-of-the-road popular
HEAVILY overshadowed by Hemi ‘Cuda convertibles in popularity and value
Overshadowed in desirability and price by other numbers-matching examples

Positives:
Real car based on what’s described, one of 29 total built, one of 17 4-speeds
Real Shaker Hood car (rare)
It’s NOT army green! :)
Not many in any condition for sale right now
Next to a Hemi ‘Cuda convertible it’s the rarest/baddest ‘Cuda convertible you could own, and for a lot less money
My selling price guess: $175-$200K
Insurance value estimate: $250-$275K

BTW, the current bid of 300K is most likely fake/wishful thinking

Nice, old-school car…

BUT, for that price, I’d rather buy a brand new Lamborghini..

Just my 2 cents..
