73Cuda in Colorado
« on: May 19, 2006 - 05:39:01 PM »
Hey Everyone,
 I just stumbled across this web site and it looks like there are tons of articles for me to go through. I had a 67 Barracuda back in High School and now, 20 years later, I am back in the Mopar scene. I recently picked up a 73 Cuda that I just started to tear down for a mild restoration. Any advice and help would always be appreciated.
Thanks

This is it for now. Nothing fancy yet. I started stripping it down already for body and paint. The wheels have already been ordered. I have a 440 in the shop getting ready to be rebuilt. This is originally a 340 car with the Automatic on the column. I picked up another steering column and most of the pieces to convert it to Auto on the floor.

Title Question.......
I noticed that my Title shows that the car is a 72 but after cross referencing the VIN, it comes up as a 73. The Vin number on the title does match the car. The Vin starts with BS23H3B and looking in all of my books, this is a 73. Can anyone verify that this is in fact a 73? If it is, how hard is it to change the year on the title at the local DMV?
Thanks
