    what would you do?
    « on: November 05, 2005 - 06:45:01 PM »
    I sold my 71 Cuda today, so now the REAL fun starts! I get to go Mopar shopping!

    I can either buy two mid-level cars...or one high end car.

    Below are some pics

    Cuda is a 426 hemi 5 speed thats an original 383 4 speed car (comes with the orig. motor) Fresh resto needing finishing touches. (high end) (mid 60's)

    Chally is a 340 4 speed factory sunroof car. motor is #'s match but looks to be restamped, an older rotessorie resto.  (mid level)  (mid $30's)

    just curious as to what your take on this is???

     the link to the 70 is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-Plymouth-Cuda-Barracuda-426-Hemi-5-Seed_W0QQitemZ4583316533QQcategoryZ6409QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    I kind of like that 71 Challenger with the wide hood trim.  Have you seen either of these in person yet?

    Boy, I wish I had your type of decisions to make.  I just have to decide between paper or plastic at the grocery store!  LOL!

    Depends if you want all out street racer vs originality.  The 'Cuda looks like a real mean ride, the Challenger is sweet with the wide chrome hood trim, but the sunroof just pushed me to the side of the Challenger.  Then get some other toys with the extra$.

    Looked at the 70 this morning, and took oldschools advice and "Got the hemi". It will be a few weeks before the car is delivered, the seller is going to complete some work for me first. The pics on the auction site dont do this car justice, it is awesome! So all told, between the time i sold my 71 yesterday and bought this 70...I was hemiless for less than 24 hrs! Whew.....

    Congratulations , either looked liked decent choices, although you don`t want to be paying for a #s matching car & get a restamped block

    Good choice Larry, It wouldn't have been good to go Hemiless for too long.  She sure is a beauty.

    Hemi71, that looks like a nice '70 'Cuda.  I really liked your '71 better, but you do need to change it up a bit from time to time.  I wonder what that 426 came out of....
