Newbie with a '72 'cuda
« on: October 06, 2015 - 09:59:37 PM »
Hi,
Newer e-body guy. Have always had a, b, c bodies and trucks. Got the 'cuda about a year ago and has sat in my garage ever since. Factory 340 4 speed car. Originally B5  :crying:, obviously changed along the way.

The car has been restored very well in some areas but not very well in others. This winter I plan to dig into it and it looks like there are a lot of resources on this site. Look forward to learning more about e-bodies and getting the car straightened out.  :thumbsup: :wave: :cheers:

Welcome.  :wave:

B5 is one of my favorites.   Are you going back to it?

I like the yellow, but I'm a little biased. ...  :thumbsup:
