One of my friends is looking for a 70-74 Barracuda or 70-74 Challenger.

He has 10K to spend on the car. Shipping excluded. He knows something about Mopar (he has a 383 Plymouth Fury).

So what condition you might expect for this budget? Big block? Complete car?
Thanks for your help!

If he wants a 70 or 71 he isn't going to get much for that kind of money.  I would say you could get a 72-74 smallblock car that would be in decent driver condition.  I do not know if that helps you much.

Check out www.cuda-challenger.com.  I think there is a few there for some resonable prices.  at least I think so.

I like 'em    :yesnod:

There are some deals out there on 70s but the 71s are big cash nowadays.

you should be able to get a decent 70. see if you can find one close to you and you'll have a little extra  for the car. Rene

A 70-71 driver with a big block will be $20-25K.

The only thing obvious from your posts is that you were dropped on your head as a child.


A Big Block E body driver for tends to go for more than 10k.  Has he considered buying a small block car and doing a swap?

I'd respond, but I really don't want to hijack this thread any further.... ::)

Back on topic, does it have to be driver quality, or would he consider minor projects, as well?

He is kinda handy so small projects is all right.
Yea, a 70-71 chally or cuda is a lot more then 10K. I just wanted to know if any of you guys can help me (him) to find a strong runner.

Please use the spell check as it only takes a few seconds, well for non-retarded people at least.

I bought one last year for $4500.00,Its a 383 magnum 4 speed Challenger R/T. Its a soild driver that needs restoration. The guy that I bought it from also had another one 383 4 speed car,but it had a 440 in it. He sold that one for 7 grand. There are still some deals out there. They are few and far between though. The problem with 70-71 E bodies,is that people have seen Hemi Cuda converts going for 3 or 4 million dollars,and now they think their rusty 318 car is worth a MILLOIN DOLLARS HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA ( and the Doctor Evil rant continues!) HAAA HAAA HAAA! :icon_smile_evil:
