Thanks for sharing. But you got to think how many idiots are going to watch that video and then go out and get a "Stang" of their own and then receive the reality check?

Car looks very familiar, I've got one too. Mine's got the 440 six pack, and hard top though. What is that metal looking thing on the passengerside front seat floorboard near the trany hump?

Camera mounting bracket when they filmed from inside the car. All the cables are still in there too.

Too bad it's not a numbers matching vehicle.

True. It's not even the correct year. It's a 1970 modified to look like a '71 Hemi 'Cuda. Doesn't matter to me though. Nash Bridges was one of my favorite shows and I'd pay a premium to have that car. If I recall correctly, either this car or another one used on the show went for about $200k a few years ago. But this is the one to have. This is Nash Bridges #1, the main filming car. I'm surprised Don Johnson didn't keep it. He was the one that specifically picked this car he wanted to use for the show.

Mine's a '71 auto. I should post pix some time. Why Johnson doesn't keep it? Not sure, perhaps it doesn't interest him since he's probably got something much more.......expensive? Reminds me of when the General Lee from the Duke's of Hazzard series was on ebay a number of years back. Bidding ended at 4 million but the winner never paid and the transaction never was completed. The actor who played the role of Bo "John Richard Schneider III" I think owned the car that was being auctioned on ebay. He was pissed that the winner never made payment. Sort of wonder why he didn't want to keep the car for himself. All the regular actors of the show had signed the inside of the engine compartment.

Wow......cool video! that Stang looks wicked!........probably $100,000

$149,995 + the price of a GT500 base car to modify. You're gonna be north of 200 grand.

I sell 'em. Shall I put in your order?

ummm.....let me run that by the wife.....

hmm


$150,000k for a car...





that will likely be lucky to be worth $15,000 in 30 years..



or


$150,000k for a car that is already 30 years old and has already proven to increase in value..





no brainer....

The Cuda is a classic but this particular Stang will out run, out handle and out brake that Cuda......by a long shot. Besides, nobody knows what a Shelby like this, produced in limited numbers, will be worth when it is old enough to be a classic. People who bought early Hemi Cudas, Boss 302's, Boss 429's and Z-28 Camaros back in that era would have had no idea what those cars would be worth in this era.

This is just a Shelby GT 500:

Impressive, but only around 600 hp, not 1000, like the first one I posted.

The Cuda and the original Shelby Cobra are rare, are pieces of American automotive history.. and their collectability and value stem from that. Had you posted am original Cobra I might have agreed with your $150K. The Shelby 1000 is a 5th gen Mustang with a ton of Shelby parts and name on it.

And it's no more Ford than you are Chinese.

Using the price of $150K, and adjusting backwards for inflation that would mean a new 1970 Cuda would have sold for $25,718.89 in 1970... when it actually sold for a Base price of $5,400, with the Hemi option costing $871 , and the 440+6pak a whipping bargain at $25.


It's simply not worth $150K, and the only person who drops that kinda cash for it isn't buying it as a collectable, they just have more money than sense.

I guess you missed the part that you have to buy the Shelby GT 500 base model first ($54,200) then, it gets shipped to Shelby American for the $150k mod. You then have a $204.200 car + gas guzzler tax + plus your local sales tax, license and title fees. We seem to have an abundant group around here that buy these, Roush RSIII's and Ford GTs and care not about the money they spend for their fun. Most of these guys are aproaching 60 years old and will not live until these cars are remotely close to being classics. It's a really weird phenomenon. I say, let em have their fun and maybe I can get a steal on one down the road. Oh, wait....I'm gonna be 60 in 7 more years!

When money is no object to those who wish to purchase... then it literally means that "value" (present or future) is really not a consideration.



BTW - That $204,200 would make that 1970 Cuda cost the following (in 1970):

$35,011.99

And the day someone drives a brand new one of those off the lot, it's just depreciated down to maybe $100,000.

It really depends. If it's a really low production run, it may be worth more than that 30 years from now. The only other thing that makes a car sell for higher is what it was used for/who it belonged to, such as in a movie or owned by someone famous. The asking price for this Cuda is at that price only because it is claimed to have been used in a tv series by someone famous. Had that Cuda been owned by you or I and not in any movie or tv, we'd be heartpressed to get $30K for it, especially since it's not a numbers matching vehicle. And everyone involved with classic vehicle restoration knows this. That's why, like everything else, Buyer Beware! This Cuda could have simply been a clone of the one on the movie/tv. Maybe it's lagit, maybe it's not, does anyone really know? Is it worth it?

In regards to cars gaining value over time, well, since I've got my own, I can tell you that there is cost associated with it that I incurr every year. Now that mine is completely restored, it usually cost me at least $1,000 per year just to have it and drive it maybe ten times a summer. $1,000 a year for things such as fuel, insurance, registration, and the usual service stuff like oil change, coolant flush, tune up, etc. etc. It all adds up and after 30 years, you get the idea. At one time I had it in a storage unit. That was an added $4,200 per year for the storage rental expense ($350 per month). So you also have to take into consideration how much it cost each year to have it. Hind sight 20/20, I wish I would have just dumped my money into a bank account with a reasonable rate of interest. The only people who gain from this are the ones that buy it cheap and already restored.
