Earl - mine has 17k original miles.. had 8k when his son bought it. Larry had 3 71 cudas (barracudas).. the blower for him and the shaker for one and a 71 4-spd for the other. They are all sold now.. after his son sold me the shaker car.. he just lost interest. It was a family thing.

He'll be happy to know they will be driven around and appreciated. I'll repeat this one more time for the thread.. that blown cuda is VERY FAST.. It will smoke most any hemis.. ferds and chebbys are in big trouble around your town  LOL

take care.

I like the cut up fiberglass double bump hood

It gives it a Mad Max "my engine is so huge it doesn't come close to fitting in the car so I cut up a hood and it still just barely fits" look.

It seems like it was a pretty common thing to flare the wheel wells back then. My blown cuda has the same thing done to it. Just waiting for the money to do the car back to stock body or put in tubs.

Yey!!! Can't agree more mate, I'm not a fan of the flare look either.
It's usually a combo consisting of flares, 50ft rake & 40" tyres sticking out and a bad highlighted paint job with pin stripes to top it off.


YUCK!!!!!

Wow!  That's some serious meat in the back.  Mild traction problem?
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.

Welcome to the site, WS2V!  I remember seeing photos of that car earlier on the web.  It definitely has that late '70s-'80s look to it and I think it looks pretty cool the way it sits.
1973 Dodge Challenger......................The ongoing project. (00/----\00)
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.
All-American Muscle: 'Cudas and Challengers...Still the Elite and always will be.

Thank's to Rev-It-Up for getting my pictures set up on here.
As I mentioned when I first got on here, I have no idea what I'm doing.
I found this site while I was looking for info on Cuda's...This deal for this Cuda just happened...I was not even looking for one.
But...I have alway's liked the Cuda's and Challenger's.
I had a 1930 Ford Roadster with a smallblock and the fella that had this Cuda offered a trade because he wanted the roadster.
So I thought about it for a few week's and felt that I could sell it for enough and be able to pick up a Sedan or Coupe(30's) streetrod.
I had a fella that has a Mopar shop about 5 miles from here and he said it could sell from 25 to 30...again, I have no idea yet what this is worth.
It was painted years ago with white pearl and it show's it's age.....I see many car's for sale and they say it look's better than what the pictures are....I think the pictures make mine look better than it is...has some chips.
Anyway...thank's to Rev-It-Up I will add another picture or two.
Thank's to everyone for all their positive replies and you guy's have a very nice group on here.
Earl
