There was a cost difference between the Dart and Cuda.
Approximate FACTORY cost to build the 68' Hemi cars was $3200.
Dealer cost $4204.88
Also, $4204.88 if the racer went to Michigan (Hazel Park or Madison Heights) to pick up the car.
Also, several issues with the car. Not a buy and race vehicle out of the box.

That sounds about right, we had a barbeque at the track Saturday night, and Dave Wren was there. We were talking about his recently re-purchased 68 Hemi Cuda that he bought new (#6 I believe he said). He picked the car up in the Detroit area, and that it was $4100 or 4200 at that time. Dave sold the car in 69, and supposedly the car sat in a barn or garage for almost 40 years, and has never been tubbed or caged. He showed me a photo of it, it`s white with a blue panel on the sides, with Cragar mags on it.
Dave also still has the same aluminum nose 63 Max Wedge sedan that he was runner up at the 68 Winternationals. Pretty cool.
