1970 Cuda - Budget Build!

[Despicable Z]

As I continued to pull out all of the old carpeting in the car- I was finally able to get a good look at the dash. According to the gauges... this car only has 34,000 miles on it  Couldn't believe it when I saw that!  Anyways- dash is coming out- hopefully tonight. Shop vac is getting a work out lol.

Are you sure it is 34,000 miles or 134,000 miles?

Burnt orange sure is cool

Hmmm good point. On classic mustangs, when the Odo hit 100,000 / 99,999 it just stayed keyed out at 99999... I'm guessing Plymouths must roll over and start over? Is there any way to tell?

Well I found one broadcast sheet of the car! Well some of it at least  . While pulling out the dash- there is was- taped to the top of the glove box assembly.



Dash almost ready to come out- ran out of time



Finally got the car "mobile" to allow more room around the shop



Little by little...

It sure has anlauto! You know at first with the transmission and engine missing and a supposed 440 longblock- I was really thinking modifying the car would be the fun way to go. That being said- now that I actually have a 69' 383 longblock, fender tag, build sheet, etc... restoration is starting to become a more tempting option. You are a season vet at this- do you think a spot-on resto (obviously non-#s matching) job would make this car more valuable in the future than a more resto-mod based build (stroker, updated suspension, etc.)? I'll have fun with it either way (although I'm just not a huge green fan)- but wondering what sort of future values I would be looking at in both scenarios. Thanks as always for your insight!

Without the numbers drivetrain I wouldn't sweat the details.  Build the car the way that makes you happy.

   Numbers matching is a different story.

I'd love to find a broadcast sheet for my other car.
