Purchased My 71 'Cuda!

[Super Blue 72]

Thanks for the info, NZ.  Didn't realize that about 'Cudas! 

That pic you just posted is cool.  The car looks almost chrome!

Back to the car....

My father used to own a triple black T/A challenger and it was no doubt one of the most menacing looking muscle cars he ever owned.  Since then I have always wanted a black mopar.  What could be badder then a a hemi cuda with billboards?  An all black a12 car would be pretty sweet for second place


1.  All black e body with a hemi #1

2.  Black a12 car with red or black interior

Sounds like an awesome car. I think for me that would be third favorite Black car - triple black T/A.
First for me is the 71 Cuda, second would be a 68 Charger then the T/A all  of which pure bad ass.

Super Blue 72 - No worries mate, kind of weird huh. The Challenger reading 426 Hemi the Cuda just reads Hemi Cuda. I guess it's just one of those weird E-Body differences thing. Ps: Love that avatar mate LOL Now STAY there!

Already Black with the correct wheels and shaker. Plus an added option  BS27.
Maybe he'll trade for a Blue '71 with white billboards.

Thanks Rob but I have seen that car posted several times in the Black 71 Thread, the owner MONC is a great guy who loves his black Mopars. Nice car but I have never been a rag top guy, to me, it doesn't scream muscle like hardtops do. I'd have one if I had all the other hard tops I wanted and it would just be for a cruiser as that's what they were built do do. Thanks for the heads up anyhow.

oh my a 3 black convert

Congrats NZ, Almost a shame to change colors on that car, it just jumps at you and looks awesome right now.

[Carlwalski]

Thanks JS27. I agree, the car at present does look very smart. One of the best shades of blue I have seen on an E-Body. But, I have always wanted a triple Black car and from day 1, this project, was always going to be a TB car.

[Mr. 6pak2go]

nz your awsome thats so funny i cant wait to see the  tb cuda!!!  th OM just hit me lol! 

[Carlwalski]

Thanks Kev. Great avatar mate, you and bub.
By the way, what does "OM" mean as in your post, "the OM just hit me"?

[ShelbyDogg]

I was trying to guess "OM" too, not being a "texter". What could have hit him?

OLD MAN
OLD MAID
OUR MOM
OUR MIDGET
OUR MONKEY
ORANGE MOOSE
OVERHEAD METEOR

"WTF?"   I know what that means.........

[Carlwalski]

"Old Mix" as in old brew (beer) he has a drinker smile and beer can hit you.

Um, thus far it's shipping out of LA on the 12th of July. I have collected all the parts needed and they will ship with the car helping me save precious money on shipping. I probably saved a good $2,500 USD+ on shipping.

So, on the 12th the following items (8 including car) will be shipping to NZ.
I'm bloody over the moon and can't wait to get this project started!
