to my knowledge no fender tag but it comes with lots of boxes of small parts, maybe in one of them if I am lucky, but I have the buildsheet and it will help me put it back to stock condition

It is an averagely optioned 'cuda, not plain but not fully loaded. The year along with the model ('cuda), make it rare IMHO... Nice car!

Nice car :2thumbs: I wouldn't agree with "well optioned" most of it is standard "Cuda" package stuff......but I will say "optioned well" though....good looking car.

Nice Project Cuda
Option code D-56 would indicate 3:55 gears in a 8 3/4 rear.
I think the 3:54 would have been a dana gear ratio, not likely in a 383 car.

Nice project!  My first 'Cuda that I factory ordered in Oct 1969 was also a 383 U code engine with a 4-speed and 3:55 sure grip, triple black car.  We had several of the same other options.  Looking forward to seeing your progress! 
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda.  Matching numbers 440 U Code, 4 speed pistol grip, Rallye dash, AM 8 Track, Shaker hood, 15 inch rallye wheels, Dana 60 4.10, Super Track Pak.  One of 134 - 440 "U" coupes codes built in 1970 and one of 100 - 440 Super Track Paks built in 1970.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
