1971 CUDA, True 340 4sp B5, V6W.
« on: August 08, 2016 - 06:25:37 PM »
On the ebay motors block!   http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Barracuda-CUDA-/152195357595? 
‘Cuda Video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_n37R0BK6TrZ01LSk1ZSUpOS1E Video shows Gold engine. I just repainted it.
HEADS UP.  It is a true 340 4speed CUDA car from the factory. Matching numbers except for the 360 engine. An era correct 340 block (with minor repairable crack) will come with the car.   
One of only a few! Only 1141 were built with 340 engines & 4 speeds.  This is a true white billboard car.  This B5 True Blue Metallic, with Black Interior and White Billboards is very rare.  Galen Govier shows this as 1 of 1 in their registry.
This CUDA was completely disassembled and put on a rotisserie. Everything was restored or replaced.
Paint was completed in March 2009, Restoration completed July 2011. 2300 miles have been driven. Included in the sale is a full break down of the trim tag as well as a nice stack of restoration receipts. The receipts provide significant insight into what it took to bring this ‘CUDA to its current state.

Thought I would like it more once the engine was painted orange. I was wrong.  I think the black is throwing me of.
 Looks like listing ending .somebody bought it.
