new 73 cuda
« on: August 21, 2009 - 06:26:13 PM »
Almost. Car has never been repainted, it has a 340 pistol grip 4 speed console, the engine has been rebuilt by Dick Landy, his mark is on the left front of the block circle with DL inside with serial # after that. its a #s matching car.
He said he found it in a garage a few years ago and doesnt drive it because he is into chevy's. still had cobwebs and leaves stuck to it when he brought it over.
No rust anywhere but it has been drag raced, the roll bar has been removed but mounting plates are still there along with sub frame connectors.
anyone know anything about it? it was raced in the NorCal area. it sounds better than my 440 6 pack challenger.

Online decoders still suck.

Seems like you're missing a row on the fender tag.

I'd think you'd have codes like AO1 which would match your trunk/fender lights.

Also, I'd think you'd have some kind of mirror code, like G36?

Pretty decent looking Cuda.  It looks a lot like this one.
