    Newbie checking in.
    « on: July 20, 2008 - 11:37:36 PM »
    Hi, just checking in as on Saturday in joined the Mopar ranks with the purchase of a '72 Cuda. I've worked for Chrysler/Dodge for some 30 years(that hurts)and finally decided to purchase a Mopar muscle car. The Cuda is a 340 4spd  pspb not sure what rear ratio but was running about 2800 rpm at 65mph on the way home. Car has 61k and handle very well . Drove home (45miles) in 96degree heat and temp gauge stayed just under 1/2 way,even in traffic. Well going to try and post some pictures. Thanks for the invite Tom (Valley Forge Pa. area)

    Congrats on the car. Do you plan to do anything to it or leave it the way it is? What color interior is that?

    Welcome to the site, great looking '72!  :wave:  Nice to see another round light 'Cuda here, please show us some more photos  :picture:

    We have a '72 that is in pieces all over the garage; we're getting there though, as the money allows.
