Does Anybody Own A....
« on: April 24, 2007 - 04:18:12 PM »
1970 383 4-speed red cuda with a vinyl roof. My dad used to own this car and sold it in 1974 to buy a pinto  :faint:
I know somebody on here owned one in 72,73, or 74 but thats not it. It didnt have those fog light things on it when he sold it and he said the rear end was very worn.

A car like that for a Pinto. I can't fathom it. That does not compute. It makes my head feel funny. :clueless:

He also guesses that it has been crushed becuase of the poor condition it was in. Back in 72 he was looking for a 383 4-speed non-post roadrunner he found a red one for $500 more than the cuda, he didn't have the money so he bought the cuda. Occasionally we go on this road and points out the house of the guy he bought the cuda from.
The reason he sold it was he pumped gas he was working half the time and gas cost twice as much.

Hey bordin34 Vin here, I don't remember, but I bought this car off someone in Bergen Co. It was my first Cuda after I sold my pretty new 340 Duster.  It was a Red '70 383 4spd car. All original and did have the ralley wheels on it missing the right rear center cap. I did change the gears to a 4.30. I bought it in 1973 and street raced it before turning it into a '71 Super/Stock car in 1975..

Thats the one I was talking about that looked exactly like his but wasn't. Anyway, when you bought yours did it have the fog light or road lamps whatever they were called.

No, it was just a 383 4spd Cuda, no road lamps, no power steering or power brakes, just a am radio, posi rear w/3.23's. Do you have any pictures of it? I may have some other pictures somewhere. I just can't remember what town I got it from, but if I remember I paid like $1,400.00 for it and sold the wheels off it and put those Rockets wheels on that in the photos. That car ran pretty good after I changed a bunch of things to it. Had fun street racing it. I used to hang out in Paramus in the 70's. We raced in Rutherford, Paramus, Paterson, Clifton & other towns up there. The good old days..........  :woohoo: :woohoo:

My dad said that it wasn't his in the picture. But could be a guy named Frank that sold an identical one to some kid then the kid may have sold it to you. Dads name is Paul from Westwood.

There used to be one great picture he had of it but one day my Mom cleaned the basement and well that's the last I saw of it. One of his brothers or sisters could somehow have a picture of it.
