Thanks everybody for the Cudos on the Cuda! I'm really excited about the car. I checked all the numbers and everything matches.

I had to sell my white Barracuda convertible to come up with the rest of the money needed. So my White convertible will be heading to Sweden in mid September.

It boggles my mind that the am/fm/cassette option was $337 dollars back then. That's huge.

Even with keeping the base manual transmission and manual top the car was still close to $4500 when new  :bigsmile:

Great car. I would leave the stripes off if it was mine.

what a stellar score! big block, manual (even if it is a 3spd), high impact color, vert, and V6X. WOW. AND a great driver without worrying too much

thanks again Guys and thanks to the Mods for making it easier to post pictures by upping the size limit. Here is a sampling of some of the paperwork that came with the car...... :bigsmile:

I was going to say it would be nicer if you could make your pictures smaller...pita trying to scroll side-to-side to view them.

Hi Alan, You should be able to just click on the bottom left title of the pic to enlarge and see without scrolling.

I hear people do that, I was wondering if the drive shaft length is the same. If so, it would be a super easy swap.  :bigsmile:

I remember that car. 71 in Gun metal grey in Delaware? I think he sold it before I could even get down there to see it. Did you end up buying the other Gun metal 71 that you were looking at???

not sure of DS length, but if you go the Passon 4spd/5spd route it will be a drop in (no mods) and it wouldn't be hard to get a standard A833 DS  https://www.passonperformance.com/

The Road Wheels look amazing on there!  So much nicer looking then Rallye's IMO.
