“Blown apart” is how some folks describe their project cars after removing everything from the body. Never has a car looked more blown apart than this 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda in Oxford, New York. The seller describes it as a complete car before the dismantling, and it comes with multiples of some parts. The collection of parts might be one of 2372 four-speed 340 four barrel ’70 ‘Cudas, and that desirable model year sweetens the pot. Nine bidders here on eBay pushed the value into five digit territory with less than a day to go. Thanks to Mopar1 for some details.

Credit the seller for saying straight up they are not sure if this body matches the VIN. Even the firewall and cowl come from a donor car (presumably to replace a rusted original), leaving plenty of questions, some of which may remain mysteries forever, but sometimes that’s how it goes. The full floor is the way to go to fix one problem forever. Didn’t Grandpa used to say “Measure 714 times, clamp and weld once?”

Ideally you take 107,000 pictures, bag and tag boxes of hardware, drop numbered tags in compartment boxes of hardware, and other personalized methods to assist with rebuilding your classic properly. Failing that, maybe it’s no big deal to just wing it, or maybe the ideal buyer has it all memorized. Maybe.

One lump of metal resembles a four-speed transmission, and another resembles a lawn chair. Hopefully one is worth more than the other. God bless whoever takes this one on. Bring a dump truck, cause your trailer won’t hold all these parts. You can get a whole new body and build a longer wheelbase Dodge Challenger E-body for $18,000, so you’d have to really want the ‘Cuda to go near that for this rusty Frankenstein. We’d love to see a follow-up from the new owner to see what this erector kit becomes. Do you have the skills and vision to turn this manic mass of metal into a smokin’ hot ‘Cuda?
