1974 Plymouth Cuda fell into my lap….KINDA
It really doesn't matter. What it is now is worth more than what it was.
Does matter.
A 360 holds far more value than the 318. 74 is the only year for the 360. Making it more valuable to those who look at numbers and consider the original car.
A copper with white guts and perhaps some white stripes would be a very appealing color and the resale would be greatly increased for the future. Depending upon what the actual fender tag says. If it's a 318, then the color would be the draw and not really the drivetrain combo.
I, for instance, will not purchase a 74 unless it is a real K code car. Or, of course it falls in my lap for cheap or parts.
So, if it's a G code car, you just lost me for resale. Limiting the value of the car ultimately.
Fender tag does matter. Build sheet matters as well. Helps value. Ask if there are any other documents with the car. Window sticker, purchase records, anything that is left of the car.
