Favorite 'Cuda year
« on: January 15, 2006 - 10:45:09 AM »
I'm sure that this pole has been done before since I'm still a newbie, but I was just discussing this with the wife and thought I'd just check and see what the most popular year was.

1970 For me. I find the 71 Cuda to be a little over the top......the "boy racer" of the MoPars , if you please.  :lol2:
I'd still love one, but not before my lime-light AAR thanks.  :bigshades:

Ahhh...That is just why I love 'em the most. I am usually more on the conservative side, except for Cudas.

Ahh the age-old 2 vs 4 headlight debate.... I can never decide.  One week, I like clean simple 70, and the next, flashing neon 71.  Decisions, decisions...  ok, 70!

I love the 70 AAR Cuda but 71 is my favorite. Then why do I have 70 Cuda? Because the 70 was cheaper to buy than a 71.

I agree with NZ , I far prefer the clean mean look of the 70 , the 71 is too over the top for me , the kicker for me is the "hidden" turn signals up top under the header panel

I see you threw the a-bodies in there too!!  Good move!!  If we're talking e-body 'cuda's . . I like them all!  I guess I do prefer the 71 appearance with the gilled fenders and that grill . . . but definitely with white billboards.   :drool:   :grinyes:

Well, I'll let the 70-71 debate go on and pick the 72. It was the first year of the round tailights and the grill was a combo of 70 and 71 AND it is the most affordable of the 3

Man.....those 67 thru 69s never get the credit they deserve. They are so bad @ss it's not even funny. I'm still pi$$ed at myself for letting this one get away a few years back.  :banghead:  Could have got it for very little  :money:
Yes that one 68 vote is mine if you couldn't tell  :lol:

4cruzin you said you liked the white billboards.....did you see this one on ebay recently?  Awesome car!  Somebody has stolen the guys pics and made a fraudulent listing with it, but if it's gone, you can look in the completed listings to see more pics. :droolingbounce:
