My 71 383 was autumn metallic brown with a black vinyl top, cant really tell what color it is now... cant really tell what it is at all... have been working day and night, in 3-4 months hoping to have a beautiful lemon twist yellow cuda w/ black billboards, possibly intakes on hood painted black, removed the vinyl and its staying that way, also might add a go-wing to the set up. nice thread...and big mike, thats a big-un.

cant really tell what it is at all...

Welcome lemonfish,  I'm sure if you post some pics, we'll be able to help you figure out what it is  ;D  ;D.  I think you'll find everyone to be very helpful here!  Interested in a trip to Carlisle in July??   8)

A yellow 71 Cuda....mmmm, mmmm good!  Welcome to the board Lemon71Fish!  By the sounds of it, I'd say your car is completely apart?  I'm about at the same spot.  

Hope you stick around!  Maybe you could start at new thread with pics of your car??  Would love to see it...doesn't have to be all put together...heck, most of our cars are apart right now. ;D

That car looks great oldvamoparfan!  From what I see looks pretty straight!   8)

Lemonfish did you want to hook up with a caravan on your way to Carlisle??  Have quite a few trains coming in from just about every direction.   ;D

Yeah that sounds great... I live about and hour and 15 or an hour and a half away(northwest of carlisle) in belleville pennsylvania. when in the date of the show? We'll have to figure out some plans and meeting places. We'd used 322 and 75 > to 74 to get there? sound familiar???? We could go another way to hook up... thanks... gotta get back to class

Yes 4cruz, it is.  I have relatively little body work compared to most cars this vintage.  This car is mostly original, having been kept in garage or carport most of the last 12 to 15 yrs, & has only been repainted once.  There is no evidence of any accident, or parts replaced other than bumpers & rear valance.  I have some mechanical things needed,  all relatively minor also.  The engine supposedly has only 3k miles on it, & it does sound & run great.  Trans is fresh OH w/ shift kit.  Rear is 8.75 & supposedly has all new bearings & posi unit, but is not set up correctly as it makes a little noise.  I have had previous sucess it clearing this w/ adjusting bearings.  This should be an easy redo. Floors look like new, trunk has only minor surface rust in a couple places, no holes in it.  DRivers seat has a split seam in cushion. Headliner & carpet are new.  Small split in dash.  I am pretty happy for what I paid for it.  It could be put on the street w/ about 3 hrs work.   I'm looking forward to seeing you guys & gals at Carlisle.  The Challenger won't be there this year, but maybe next.  I probably will drive my "65 Cuda. Tks, Ovmf

1) '73 Rallye now in primer. Going to original colors - white vinyl top/interior with JY3 for the body and black strobe stripes. Looks like it'll be in fresh primer for Carlisle...

2) '70 RT/SE now in some type of bluish purple glittery goop and lots of rust. Going to original colors - black vinyl top with black and white houndstooth cloth and vinyl seats, FC7 for the body and white longitudinal RT stripes.
