You must be braver than me, because driving ANY HEMI would scare me!

I have seen those pics of the Blofish pink Cuda.  She is one hell of a car!!!!!  Yes, my dream car, LOL.  My other dream car is a triple black Cuda.  Looks like I have to beg to be adopted.  I will be a good girl, I promise I will be no trouble at all.  Where are the darn smileys when you need them????????

I seen the blown cuda this year at monster mopar weekend in St.Louis, it is in a word AWSOME!  I would definately say the man is talented.  Just can't let my wife see the pink cuda he is building or we might have to take a number for one to go through his shop too!

This is Mrs. Pink Panther, thank you for sharing the pictures of this BEAUTIFUL Mopar.  The 1971 Cuda has always been my dream car, but a Panther Pink Hemi 1971 Cuda with the billboards is beyond even my wildest dreams.  I had a 1972 Cuda, orange with a black vinyl top when I was in high school, and I have loved Cudas ever since.  Even though these pictures make me extremely jealous, seeing them still gives me goosebumps.  I don't think it gets any better than this car!!!

Yes, it seems I am.  I guess I will just have to keep the pink Chally, and find her a 71 cuda to be it's mate.   The car has definately came along way since those pictures that  is for sure!

That shaker hood looks just a little different than my shaker hood.
What is the purpose of attaching the shaker bubble to the hood?
I've haven't seen that done since Christopher Titus did that on his wife's Ford SUV on Rides.

4Cruizin,
Thanks again for posting the pictures of our Cuda's.  The pictures of the Green Barracuda is what Blofish (The Black Cuda) looked like before my husband started on it.  The pictures of the Brown Barracuda is what the Pink Cuda started out.  As you can see Blofish started out in pretty bad shape.  We would love to find a bunch of Barracuda's or Cuda's in the shape the Brown Barracuda was in.  In reply to Hotrod98, you asked about the Shaker being attached to the hood that is because it is a fiberglass Shaker Hood by the Company AAR Fiberglass.  We wanted the look of the Shaker Hood without paying over $5000 for a real one.  The only time you can tell it is not real is when the hood is up.  You can buy a AAR fiberglass Shaker Hood for around $700 versus over $5000 for a real one.  Thanks again everyone for the nice compliments.  Mr. and Mrs. Pink Panther,  Thank you for all of the compliments on our cars.  Hopefully we can meet you guys sometime.  It sounds like you 2 have some nice cars too.  We have always liked the Panther Pink color.  This is our first Pink car.  Years ago all we could ever find were Yellow and Black Cuda's.  We had a 1971 Curious Yellow 440-6bbl Cuda that we showed at ISCA (World of Wheels) car shows.  Did you ever go to any of the ISCA World of Wheels indoor car shows?  Our Cuda was on a turntable in the display we had it in at the shows.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Hello all,
these are definetly the best pics that I have every seen! Just a question though to you people who own Ebodys that are in this great shape.In general, do you drive them around much, as for around town, or just to shows and stuff like that.If I owned one like most of the pics I have seen, I wouldn't want to drive it very much with the poor quality roads, not to mention poor drivers on the road.
I am hoping, near term, I could get mine to a safetied condition, with as much rust elimination/ stabilization and paint. I want it to be a everyday use car and dry storage in winter.
A great weekend to all
Mikey
