1971 HEMI cuda!
« on: October 16, 2005 - 11:20:34 AM »
When I was at the MOPAR NATS 2005, I came across this completely AWESOME triple black HEMI cuda.  I had to stay at least 5 feet away from the car as the drool was flowing contantly and I didn't want to make a mess!  But I did walk over to the owner and shook his hand in admiration of this beautiful car!  (actually I think i shook it 4 or 5 times!)  But in the few minutes I had to talk with them, I had a strong feeling that they had posted on this site and once they told me that they were getting ready to build a pink 71 HEMI for her, I knew I had read the story here and was excited to finally meet them!  Today I received an e-mail with some pics of the new car and here they are for all my friends at cuda-challenger.com!   What a beautiful car this is going to be! 

OK here are the pics from Dan and Joni  . . . with the first one being the black 71 AKA Blofish!!  Enjoy!!

Just incredible!  Thanks for sharing!
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

4Cruizin,
Thanks for posting the pictures for us.  You are so right about my husband being very talented.  I am very proud of the cars he has built.  The Pink Cuda he is building for me will have a crate 426 Hemi not a 528 Hemi.  Dan is getting ready to install the motor next.  I will keep you guys updated.  I have ridden in the Black Cuda and it is awsome.  My husband told me I could drive it anytime but it would scare the bejeebers out of me.  That is why the Pink car will only have a 426 Hemi in it.  It will still be a fast car but it won't be so fast that it would scare me.  Triple Black Hemi, Thanks for all the compliments you have given Dan on his cars.  We hope to meet you in person sometime.  And to all of the other people from this board Thanks for all the compliments on our Cudas.  All of you have wonderful cars.  We hope to meet all of you in the future.
