NewB
« on: December 21, 2013 - 09:00:19 AM »
Hey all,
  NewB currently living in Vicenza, Italy. (Army duty station) Looking to buy a 70-73 cuda when I get back to the states in a couple years. Looking for a nice and cheap junker that I can bring back to life with my soon to be daughter. I'm 22 years old and married. Looking forward to get to know everyone and maybe find the right car for me. Thanks for all the help in advance guys and gals.

Adam

Welcome aboard and thanks for your service. Start saving a little each month now cause even the "junkers" aren't cheap and cost a lot of $$$ to bring back to life. Good luck and see ya around the board.
Cheers!

Thanks guys,
  Bullitt I'll be returning in about 2 years. I know it's still a ways away but I like to get the feel of how much the cats are going for now. I was looking around the 5k range for a roller that needs work. Definitely wanting to do a restomod with a Modern engine and trans suspension etc. pretty much my goal is to make a sexy old muscle car with all the nice modern performance of today's cars. Lots of money to complete I know, but seeing my daughter won't be born till Feb I got 16 years from there to complete. So definitely doesn't matter if it's a #s matching or anything like that cuz I won't be using it.

Welcome to the site and good luck with both your Cuda quest AND your soon to be daughter! The advice about starting your saving now is good advice, since they don't make any more of the E bodies and the prices don't seem to be falling too far, too fast. Enjoy, both!  :wave:
