What trim are you referring to anlauto? :picture:

Happy Holidays,
Mickm

Every Cuda left the factory with belt moldings, tail panel moldings and rocker moldings as part of the CUDA package. Barracuda's did not have this trim.

With what little pictures and info I have on it I would say somewhere in the 18-20k range if the motor/tranny is perfect.

HP_Cuda,
Would you want to put what you think would be a fair price for it?
I know the vinyl tops are moisture catchers but I have always liked the look of them. I plan to drive this car damn near every day.......it's not raining :bigsmile:, so I hope the vinyl top will not be an issue.
Thanks for the input, it is greatly appreciated.
Happy Holiday,
Mickm

That is a personal preference and the Cuda build I'm doing now I'm leaving the wheel moldings and gills off. I like the clean look.

To each his own besides one look at the Vin tag and the gig is up.

Mickm, nice car and good choice.  Noticed in the Car of Month that you have 17" wheels.  What size tires are those?  Will be upgrading to 17" and planning for tire size.  Thanks.

Hi Fred,
The tires are Falken's and the fronts are 234/45-17's and the rears are 255/45-17's. There is not rubbing issues anywhere and the suspension is stock.
I am planning on selling these wheels and tires pretty soon. They have about 1300 miles on them. The wheels are Ridler chrome 365's and in perfect condition.
I will sell all four as I think that would be easier than just selling the two rear's. Only reason I am selling is to put 18's on the read.

Cheers!
Mickm

Thank you for the info!  My plan is to use 275/50/17 on 8" in rear and 245/50/17 on 7" in front.  Thanks again.  What part of LA do you live?  Im in BTR.

Hey Fred,
I like the size of your wheel and tires. I am going to pull my rears off and do the calculations for inside clearance.
With my current configuration I have about .75" a space between the rear tire and the wheel trim but I have about an 1" or better inside.

What wheels are you going to run?

I live in Choudrant. About 5 miles west of Ruston just off of I-20.

Cheers!

The wife and I are currently "negotiating" the wheels.  We both like the Intro "Emotion" (on Yearone) website, but she is also holding strong for some real spoke wheels.  She is the original owner and it came the spoke hubcaps.
