Having owned a new '70 Cuda myself, I feel I am qualified to address this issue. It truly was a great car, & I got more compliments on it than anything I ever owned, but I honestly enjoy Steves' '73 w/ 440 just about as much (round tail lights & all!!!). His car is a '73 only color (moss green) which is close to lime but not quite. His car gets as many or more looks & questions as about any thing we see at the shows, & on the road. One thing else they have in common; that wonderful torquey big block motor!!!! Nothing else is like it. I know the small blocks are fast too (I have owned 2 w/ a really good 360), but a big block has all that HP & torque w/ little or no work on it. And if you really want to go crazy, the sky is the limit. I now have a '72 Challenger I am reworking (360) & fully expect to thoroughly enjoy it. Guys, any E body, any model can be a real fun experience, so dont worry so much about the year as the condition & its potential. Besides, all '72 & later have disc brakes, & can usually be bought for less. Just enjoy, OK?
