Here are pics. of focal7's 74 Cuda...

Here are the pics of the 74'
 
     Here is the good:   clear title, has fender tag, some great parts!  Fortunately the previous owner stripped the hood, fenders, trunk lid, and some interior parts off and stored them inside for the last 15 years. Oh did I forget to say that we paid $300.       
     Now the bad: Missing front buckets, front and back window trim, tail lights, motor, tranny & rear end, and rust.....lots and lots of rust!
     We can't decide wether to restore it, part it out, or sell it.

Another Burnished red '74

That's a real 'CUDA and although it is rusty it is worth it!

Come to think of it I want that car BAD!!!

The fact that it's mostly gone and it's 2000 miles away are problems though  :pullinghair:. looks to be an original California 'CUDA by the looks of it huh?

Is it an original 360 car ??

360 cuda.......
If you go to the Chryco's Teck Shop part of the forum.....then go to Body Shop......then to Decode Fender Tag, you will see exactly what this car is. It is a 318 car rather than a 360. I will analyizing the car this week to see if I want to undertake the project or not. Don't be surprised if it shows up in the For Sale section of this site. I think I have a line on an 8 3/4 rear end, and I already have some leaf springs. I will at the very least get it on all 4 wheels again. My thanks to MEKrunner for posting the pictures.     :grinyes:
