Right hand drive cuda?
« on: January 13, 2006 - 09:26:25 PM »
At Cudaworld.com under pictures of 71 cudas is a red/white 71  440-6 AT with right hand drive. Were many of these made for export? Does anyone here in the states have one. I wonder if  any were available with 4 spds. That would definantly be different.

They never made RHD E-Bodies, no market for them.

That makes more sence that it is a conversion. I had never seen  or heard of one before. Looks like he put a lot of work in changing things around.

Ahhhhh, that looks great! RHD, easier to overtake down these ways.
I would love Lucy to be RHD, but it would take the originality away from the car.
Besides, it's quite good having LHD....... :naughty:


Hate the chrome rallye wheels, they look cheap.  :eek4:

LOL!!  :lol2: Good try ROMI.
The ignition, indicator not too mention the speedo and gauges are around the wrong way.

There are a few RHD E-Bodies out there.  :thumbsup:
Just takes a little time and a lot more patience to pull it off.  :biggrin:

Yeah, I'll say. The left side.

Africa, England, Australia, half of Europe, New Zealand must be wrong.  :biggrin:

LOL!! It's all good mate, it's basically half and half with RHD and LHD.
Just, more LHD in America.  :cheers: Doesn't bother me, I drive both and love both equally.

Down here the only problem with LHD is trying to over take.  :sly: :22yikes: :lol2:
