All of the 383 Formula S cars had 6 leafs from the factory.
However I can`t tell if they`ve been changed over the years.
The only thing I do know is that it`s been raced during the seventies.
At the time when I bought this Cuda there weren`t much interests at all here in Sweden for A-bodies, so I doubt that anyone would have put the money into the Cuda to replace the leaf springs.
But that is all guessing of course.
Will have to look into the position of  band clamps, and maybe compare it with my -68 convert wich never been touched.

Thanks HP2 :thumbsup:

 :working: Just want to note if your don't have a stubber already you may want to reinforce that area if your car has alot of torque.  Cars with alot of torque can cause the stubber to eventually pound through the floor board.  Just something to be aware of.    :violin:

That's a good point, wignig19, they could do that with a high torque engine.  :burnout:
