Bought a 70 BS23NOB 4spd car last year. It is disassembled , but rust free and all there. Even had new Quarters installed. Numbers matching car.Paid 10 K for it.
Check this thread on my Cuda. http://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum/showthread.php?6621-Uh-oh-how-much . Also I recently found a 70 Gr Coupe for sale nearby me. See this thread. http://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum/showthread.php?8308-Another-Cuda-Garage-Find

After looking at 68chicken's tread and checking Ebay prices I went and made a deal and bought it. some local's told me i wase nut's the market is soft and i payed way to much. but after seeing the bid on a 340 auto on column dark green 70 for more than i payed and the reserve was not met, I feel pretty good about my buy right now.

 

[DetMatt1]

Great, congrats! I'm excited to see what you got.

ME to i put a deposit on it. got to see how i want to get it home pay it off and get it home

I think you did well, if it makes you feel better I bought a 1970 Barracuda off Ebay thought it looked ok in the photos paid $5000 for it another $5500 to get it to Australia (shipping, taxes, fumigation, etc) it is just a BH 318 car and I have to replace nearly all the sheet metal and it didn't even have an engine.

Awesome, Do post up some pics of it when it gets home. My BS23NOB is still in storage in my enclosed, waiting its turn on the shop floor.

even if you give the GM products away for free to make room for the Cuda still a good deal.

So true! the only thing good about the general motors is it was like banking money to save up for the cuda 3gm's = one mopar lol

are you making this a phantasm tribute?

 

[js29]

No this car is to nice to touch! it's ready to go as is. that is what i like about it, i guess the old story about the shoe maker's kid go's bear foot is true in my case because my 70 challenger R/T S/E has been untouched for a year now and not sure when i will be able to get to it. plus i realy wanted a 4-speed again wasn't the phantasm cuda a 71

it was, but I thought you were looking at a 72-3 to turn into a phantasm clone (maybe was another member) this was a couple of months ago.
Congrats on the 70! Where did you find her?
***looked back it was another member***

Really nice looking car! First thing I'd do is change out that upper radiator hose.
