OMG Crashed up 71 cuda.

This unfortunate accident, sent my love to the scrap yard. Fortunately, a scraped knee and bruises were the outcome, another example of a beautiful, rare and expensive collector car today and to think, I bought this 1971 'Cuda 340 4spd pistol grip, for $900.00. These pictures are from 1977, notice the cars that were common place back then.

Wow, that's a big hit. The dude must have had his seat belt on not to get hurt.

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.

From the pictures, I knew it had to be from the late 70's. That's sad. It looks like it kissed a telephone pole. I agree that it probably could have been saved, but back then, these cars weren't really wanted items.  :'(

I saw that picture out on the net a year back when looking around for my current cuda. I however agree with moparnut, I would have paid good money for that cuda.

I would may it whole again. Damn shame that yesterday's trash is todays gold. I'm its metal got recycled a few times by now, either that or it is square brick in the ground.
