I found a whole sheet (Yeah, its for Coronets):

[Chryco Psycho]

It was not a part of the pkg but sure you could order a Dana in anything . I heard of a small block stn wagon with a Dana for towing a trailer

I know some of you hard-core gearheads have already dug into the internet to check out the previously posted "package deal" of three Cudas, but for those less ambitious enthusiasts, allow me to post up the second HemiCuda in that "package deal".



BS23R0B226996 is 1 of only 45 made for the Canadian market. It is a 4-speed car and is finished in FJ6 Sassy-Grass-Green with V6X black "hockey stick" stripes, a V1X black vinyl top and a H6X9 black vinyl interior.



From the fender tag we can see that this gorgeous green Cuda came nicely equipped with the A01 Light Group Package, A33 Track Pack 3:54 geared Dana Axle Package, A62 Rallye Gauge Package, B51 Power Disc Brakes, C16 Center Console, C26 Overhead Console, G36 painted Sport Mirrors, and the R36 radio among other things.



Nicely appointed interior with the Rallye Gauge Package, Center Console, Rim-Blow Steering Wheel and although it isn't seen in this photo, a rather rare Overhead Console.



I love the richness of Sassy-Grass-Green, it's one of my ATF colors, especially when it is combined with black accents such as a black vinyl top and stripes as this one has!

Odd...never heard of a Cuda having an over-head console without leather interior

What the story on a " hemi fender" ? ( fender tag)

[cudamadd]

Just one question .Do all 70 cudas have the long fish gills along the bottom . except the AAR ?  Very nice car the colours go well together.

[anlauto]

YES

[EB3-GranCoupe]

Interesting, C26, Overhead Console did typically come with the Premium Interior package (PRxx, P5xx, P6xx).  I suppose one 'could' order it all by itself with a standard H6xx interior. 

But, could you get an AM/FM cassette (R36) in 1970....in an e-body??

I thought only R11, R22, and R35 were available:

What the story on a " hemi fender" ? ( fender tag)

So what make a "Hemi Fender" and different than any other fender? 

[72ls5fla]

I think it was how the rolled the inside lip of the front fenders to make room for the large PolyGlass GT tires.

[EB3-GranCoupe]

 
Rolled inner lip for 15" wheels

Ooops! Went out of town for a few days and haven't keep up on the thread. Sorry about that

Anyway, here is a "spy" photo of JS23R0B252665, an all black 1970 Hemi Challenger RT that is "cloaked" in mystery!



Unfortunately I do no know anything about this car other than it is black, has "steelies" with "dog-dish" caps, gets to park next to an AAR and someone with the Moparts handle "sleepyhead416" is (or was) looking for the build sheet for this car. I do like the "urban camouflage" that the car is partially covered with - almost looks like the same kind of stuff the factory now puts on their new model mules while they have them out running around for testing. So, does anyone know anything more about this Hemi RT or who "sleepyhead416" may be?

[RzeroB]

Nobody knows Sleepyhead416 and his mysterious Hemi Challenger?

Okay, lets get on with it then.

We will get back on track with a car that should be a little more familiar to everyone ... the Ramchargers "Candy-matic Cuda"   BS23R0B159450 is an original automatic HemiCuda and is THEE legendary Super-Stock Candy-matic HemiCuda of the Ramchargers factory race team.



Everytime I look at this pic, my eyes are drawn to that incredibly deep oil pan - I don't know how they kept from smacking that thing when front wheels came back down - cause you know this thing would "hang 'em high" when it launched. Must of had some really good suspension travel limiters on it!



Full boogie Super-Stock Hemi - I bet that thing sounds sweet! Reportedly team engine guru Dean Nicopolis managed to get 691 hp out of the big Hemi  which enabled the Candy-matic HemiCuda to run a best of 9.97 at 132mph!

Today we have BS23R0B223697, a TX9 Black 4-speed car sold new in the Detroit Michigan area ...



Tom, aka "Racer Inc", over on Moparts is looking for info on this car which he now owns (or owned?) ...



Anyone know the car, or one of it's previous owners that include: John Ingerson, Bill Murtha, or Joe Mufalli??
