if i could still order a 1971 cuda brandnew

[saintcuda]

this would be my buildsheet:

426 hemi with automatic  (well id be satisfied with any big block from 383 to 440-6 to be honest but the 426 hemi would be IT)
shaker hood
BLACK TX9
black leather buckets
seat belts
radio with microphone (not really sure what its good for but looks cool)
ps
pdb
pw
pdl
power antenna
6 way seat
a/c w/heater
tinted glass
hood pins
color keyed grille
console
rallye gauges
overhead console
light package
interval wipers
dana axle
ltd slip differential
heated rear window
painted sports mirrors right/left
3 spoke metal/leather sport steering wheel (forgot the official name for it)
undercoating of course
louvered front fenders


15" american racing rims with wiiiiide /60 tires



well i can dream ... right?

shaker = no ac which a 426 doesnt even need to be mentioned in the same line. 15" american racing rims couldn't be ordered from the factory.  If I was to order a 71 426 hemi cuda it would be balls to the wall all out performance with no added weight.  All's anyone would be seeing would be my tailights anyways. But the car you just built would be a high dollar trailer queen. You know, a lookat me type of car. But it would be a very nice car.  A dan 410 with an automatic would be a real hand full tuned up for competition

I would be in the minority here?Mine would have been like the one in the garage--powered by a 340

What I'm building now and Lucy otherwise I wouldn't have spent my life savings making them that way.

I'd also like an AAR 4-speed, T/A 4-Speed and 68 Charger R/T auto all triple black.

several years ago, I owned a triple black T/A, 4 spd....it had 3,400 miles on it.....was VERY original....the person I sold it to still owns it.....a real beauty.....it also had the window louvers and was a "Mr. Norms" car

[DAYTONA]

....I would build a 71 Panther Pink Hemi, 4spd, convertible....white interior, white top, white billboards......Shaker, rubber bumpers and every other option available..................

2nd choice, same car, but EVERYTHING black

so either i would order a 426 w/o a/c or would have to choose a 440 with a/c then .. didnt know that shaker hemis couldnt be ordered with a/c .. still learning new things all the time ..

but my car being a trailer queen? naaaaw if i could still buy a new 1971 cuda it would be my daily driver .. i would looove that ... well not in new york falls or winters of course ..

Nice car Daytona, Mr Norms special too.

I`m with Moparal-mine would be a low option street racer but would already have lots of wins under it`s belt as I prefer the `70 Hemicuda,FC7,4 spd,4.10 Dana,white bucket interior,rallye dash,no console,AM radio.Add on some performance goodies,headers,traction bars and Cragars with cheater slicks and go prowling the streets looking for poor helpless fords and chevys!

[426HEMI]

I would still love to order a new 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe.  It would be about like the one that I used to own.  White with Black top and interior.   That is why I am torn on what to do with the 70 I have.   I will most likely build it the way it came from the factory but with some modifications that were done before I purchased it.  The 318 or 340 would be fine in mine.  I have owned most engine combinations except for the 426 Hemi.  I like the small block better and have since the start.

I would be with you clown. The reasons are simple, no 440-4 in 71 means to get air conditioning on my 71 convertible it would either have to be a 383 or 340 and between the two I prefer a 340. 340, pistol gripped 4 speed, light group, non console with white deluxe interior w/bucket seats, power everything-windows, top, brakes, steering, air con, FE5 red with white billboards, AM/FM radio, rear wing, elastomeric front and rear bumpers, painted dual mirrors, 15" rallye wheels, color keyed grille, road lamps. 'Cuda hood with hoodpins, dual exhaust with dual tips. yeah that would put a smile on my face for sure

thanx NZ...

...the first owner of the car lived in Streeter, Il......it was street raced, painted gold metalflake and had a giant hole in the hood for a high rise intake......it looked hideous....I bought it from a guy in Mo. in 1989 after it was repainted the original color.....I didn't know the Mr. Norms history when I owned the car or I possibly would have kept it.....the next owner found out the history and applied for the paperwork from Norm .....

no 440 with air in 71 either. If you wanted air and a big block 71 'Cuda it was 383 or nothing.

FC7 Plum Crazy 340 4-speed white interior without vinyl top. Rally dash, hockey stripes, wheels and console. Delicious!
