well, My Dad got the Cuda home this past weekend. I had a buddy that drove down and picked it up for him and hauled to my Dad's house. It seems to have a bad Fuel pump or issue somewhere in the delivery right now, but he dumped some fuel in the float bowl via a funnel and it fired right up. Good thing cause there's no way it was getting up his driveway other than under it's own power.
The Report so far is that the Trunk latch/lock didn't work, and there's minor rust in the floor pans in the back. the Spare tire is rotted
and after sitting for x-amount of years it runs and stops fine. Just need to find a more prolonged fuel delivery than just what's in the float bowl
Pops said he's going to drop the tank, clean and inspect and blow out the fuel lines. hopefully everything is in good enough condition to put back in, add some fresh fuel and drive it around a little before tearing it down for restoration.
My brother and I are going to figure out a weekend soon to run down and check things out in person. Can't wait!
