Great offer, I will definitely take you up on that! I'm also lucky to have a local resource, Moper, who until recently I didn't know lives a mile from my house! Talk about small world. I didn't know there was another '70 Cuda in the neighborhood and neither did he.
The car is a 1970 Cuda FK5 Burnt Orange with a 340, 4 speed, 3:55 Sure Grip, tinted glass, dual chrome rally mirrors and factory undercoating. I have the original window sticker and broadcast sheet. I've been riding in the car since it was brand new and in 1974 the owner and I traded cars - he got a white '67 Caddy convertible - what a deal eh? Back then the Cuda had over 100,000 miles on it (even though only 4 years old) and was basically considered used up. I saw differently, rebuilt the motor and for the next 33 years put another 80,000 miles on it. All except for the first year I had it it's been garaged and not driven winters so the only sheet metal that had to be replaced was the rear quarters, tail panel and part of the window channels, typical stuff even for a California car.
I've done it over to original specs, engine balanced and blueprinted - only mods being a more modern grind cam, ARP fasteners and a Edelbrock carb. Trans was rebuilt by Moper using Passon parts and I'm looking for a rear-end rebuilder. I recurved the original springs, replaced all of the suspension and bushings, new wiring harnesses and rechrome. Most of the original parts were restorable. I've even tried to retain the original bolts where possible.
