I've seen choppin's car in the flesh, it actually has more impact in person than the pics....quite a cool car!

I'm just sitting back for now with my 71....I'll let things cool off for a bit till i decide what to do...sometimes it takes a step back for a better perspective. In the mean time, I'll be looking for a "fun" car for my wife....she has 3 cars she wants in particular...a cobra mustang convert, a C-3 vette convert, or a Stealth.

Those C3s are pretty cool but Dangerous.  The Stealth sounds like a good idea..

JS, LOL.....my wife owned a stealth back in the mid 90's for a few years, and she talks about how much she liked that car.  We did own a 97 Cobra vert a couple of years ago....traded it on getting my 70 Cuda vert back (long story).  Never owned a vette...360, what do you mean by "dangerous" ??

Well, I personally know someone who lost his life in one back in the day and I have seen test video of what happens when a C-3 crashes campared to a C-4. C-4s are way safer even before they had airbags.

just my opinion

Thanks for the words on my car guys. It definitely needs to be seen in the flesh. I'd say keep that 71, being it's an original six pack 71 Cuda.

My car was painted late 70's, I think going more towards those early 80's paint jobs. Need to get more info from previous owner as to who/what/when and where. Talked to Arruzza and FHO, now just need to make a decision.  :-\

Thanks 360....i'd imagine a C-3 is just a fiberglass body on a frame. The C-4's we've driven have not impressed us...poor quality interior with lots of rattles and cheap feel and look.

I think I'm leaning towards the TT Stealth..have a line on a nice 91 thats in excellent condition and my son knows about the car from the 3si board. Going to look at it on Friday.

My opinion, and strictly mine is to keep the Hemi as is, and put it up and away. Buy another Cuda and make yerself a 440-6 car.....I am a firm believer that one man can never have enuf Mopars in his collection!

70 Cuda 383 4 speed (project) one of the first few off the line at Hamtramck with a 1017XX VIN
70 Cuda convertible 340 4 speed (project)
