    1973 Cuda intro from Vasteras, Sweden
    « on: January 17, 2015 - 04:26:35 AM »
    Hi Guys,

    I just found this awesome forum! Very happy! It seems like this is a genuine enthusiast web site, with tons of E Body information. I have already spent waaaay to much time lurking around so I thought it is time for an intro before my first post.... :)

    So I live in Vasteras, Sweden, but share my time between home there and our vacation home in Pompano Beach, FL. I have too much spare time when in FL, which makes me buy too much stuff and ship home. I am generally a Porsche guy, love to work with my older aircooled 911:s. Last few years I have found myself looking more and more at american cars.

    As everyone else I began looking at mid 60:ies Mustang Convertibles, then moved to late 60:ies Camaros, and then Firebird convertibles. But all the time I have kept the E Body Cuda as my favourite coupé!

    In my last container I had a basket case 1973 Cuda! I had space left in the container and found this "beauty" at craigslist. It was sooo cheap, but still not much of a car either. It is incomplete and rusty....

    So I guess my first questions will be about what to build from it!


    Regards,

    Johan

    Welcome from north of Uppsala! I lived in L.A for 10 years shipped a lot of cars and bikes at the time, now I just go to US to work every know and then. Must be great to escape from the snow whenever you want. I suggest putting a new Hemi in it and make it handle like a Porsche!
    I want a Cuda for my next project, my first e-body was a -70 Cuda.

    Very nice to meet you and welcome to the forum!  Nice project . . . Typically the opinion around here is "make what you want!"  Then there are a few that would say "make it the way it came from the factory."  I usually go with the first one . . . . Enjoy!

    Welcome to the forum, new here myself. Looks like you have your work cut out for you but you have something you can do anything you want to with it and I agree go with a new HEMI.  :working:
