I'm not suppossed to reveal this but what the heck...they'll never let me back there again anyway since they keep it locked up and never are there. I ran into a warehouse full of un restored Cuda's earlier this year. Probably 30 of them there. 2 were R codes. 28 Hemi engines. More parts and rare cars than I have ever seen than many of the barn finds yet. Sworn to secrecy to the whereabouts.
Dang it TC! I told you to keep it a secret. That's it! You're now outside the circle of trust! You will not be allowed inside the circle or my wharehouse again!
As long as the car is stored properly, I have no ill feelings towards someone who won't sell a car they'll never restore. It's the cars that are crumbling back into the ear in someone's back yard that kill me. There is a guy 5 minutes from my house with a hemi GTX sitting in his back yard. Hasn't touched it in decades, but just won't sell it. By the time someone else actually gets their hands on it there may not be much car left to save. I have not met the owner of the cuda in this thread, but it's hard to fault a guy who has owned a car 45 years. At that point it's practically part of his family.
Whether your legit or not: You're in MO. Which is 2000 miles away. I would never give anyone it's location or post pictures even if I did have any of what I saw.
deal(s) are out there, waiting to be found =0)
They need to get the engine repaired and put it back on the road and then decide if they want to go to do a restoration.
