70 V Code Cuda
« on: March 16, 2015 - 04:51:35 PM »
This is my fathers 70 Cuda that he's about ready to start restoring.  Its a v-code 440-6pk car originally optioned with a pistol grip 4-speed and dana 60 rear end. Original lemon twist with a black interior and a shaker hood. Doesn't get much better than that. He has the fender tags and build sheet, but unfortunately is missing the numbers matching block. Its a Utah car, so all it will need for rust repair is the trunk floor and lower quarters. It will be restored to as close to original as possible, although I suspect he will ditch the manual 4 wheel drum brake setup. In the next few months we'll get it up on the rotisserie and off to the paint shop. This will probably be a slow project, but I will post pictures to show the progress.

Yes, I will post pictures as we work on it. He's got a 68 charger in the paint shop right now that will get assembled while the CUDA is being painted, so we hope to get most of it done before the cuda is done.

Awesome ride!    Can't wait to see the progress.

Are those black pin stripes that go around the protective body side moldings? 

I guess I'm asking for the fender tag with that question.   :bigsmile:

Finally pulled this thing out of storage, we are stripping it down before it heads to paint. Unfortunately we did not find a build sheet, but at least the floors are nice and solid.

Looks like it might have come with 6 way seat   :clueless:    Fender tag ?

Yes, I believe it did. We have the fender tag, but I haven't decoded it yet. The car was mostly disassembled when we bought it, so we have been digging through all the boxes of stuff this week. The one kind of cool option we found is that it had a factory clock in the standard dash. Am I wrong, or is that fairly uncommon?

Yup, been a long time since I've updated, but progress has been slow. Metal work has been completed and the car is now on the rotisserie. Pretty much everything from the rear windshield back had to be replaced due to rust. We just had a few areas sandblasted before we take it back to the paint shop. Hopefully it will have some color on it by next spring.
