I hooked up with the web site back in Feb. I'm a Northern Kentucky resident currently restoring a '70 B-cuda Gran Coupe Hdtp. & a '71 B-cuda conv. Both were originally 318 /Auto. equipped cars. Both are being cloned to some extent. The '70 shoudl be completed this year. Rallye red w/blk. vinyl top, go-wing spoiler, road-lamps and chin spoilers. Power is coming from a '79 Chry. "300" that had the police 360/727 combo. The '71 is a 21 year project that has less parts on it than Fred Flintstones car. Hopefully that's about to change.

I have so many pictures it boggles the mind. I've been off-line though for the past 5 or 6 years and my computer skills are showing it. If I can figure out how to post pictures I'll be glad to do so. In case I don't get there I want to share this image of the '71 when I acquired it back in '91. It had been painted with aerosol paint in a half & half motif.  Kinda like the Joker from the Batman series is what came to mind. One half was lavender which must have been an attempt to see if they liked Plum Crazy Purple and the other half was Lime Green, also badly done - but not as bad. This was an equal split right up the middle except for the doghouse which was from a white '70 that was practically totaled. I ask why he had hung so bad of a doghouse and he said he had grown so tired of trying to find something better that he went with what he had. When I noticed that the dash had a powwer top switch but a manuel top he told me the manuel top had more material so he switched them out. I hadn't noticed the 2nd top over in the corner yet. It came out that the front end was from the car he got the top from. He had parted out a '70 convertible. I almost got it to but was about a half-day too late. The car was crushed for scrap at a salvage yard.
