AboutJeff Clark Expertise I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with:
1) repair questions
2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions
3) what's-my-car-worth questions
I'm not a mechanic, I can't know the location of every VIN plate on every vehicle ever made, and I can't appraise a vehicle I can't see.
Experience I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.

Question How much did a 1971 hemi cuda with a 440 and six pack brand new in 1971
Please help!!!!
Answer There was the HemiCuda, with the 426 cu. in. hemi V8, and then there was the 'Cuda, which was available with a variety of V8s, the most potent being the 440 Six-Pack. So, to set the record straight, the HemiCuda and 'Cuda 440 were two separate models; there was no HemiCuda with a 440. It's tough to find data on options for Chrysler products from this era, but I can tell you that the average MSRP for a '71 'Cuda convertible was about $5,000, with the most popular options. The Six-Pack was an expensive (and rare!) option, but a 'Cuda coupe with that motor would have been around the same price. If you give me some more time, I might be able to come up with some more data: do a follow-up question if that would be helpful.
