71 cuda convert
« on: August 10, 2008 - 10:58:51 AM »
Ok here it is, our 383, 3 speed cuda, we bought new. 1st photo was taken in 71. It was a daily driver for about 10 years. Then the hood emblems were stolen and people kept leaving notes for offers to buy it, so before someone just helped themselves to it, we took it off the road.  Has about 74000 mi. It's been stored inside all the time but is in need of repairs. In July '08 we went to visit our son in Harrisburg PA and caught the Carlisle Show, so went looking for a Mopar forum. Look forward to going back to Carlisle with the restored car in tow.

Sweet ride.  Need more pics!

3-speed...weird.  I'd put in a TKO 5-speed so it's more fun to drive and keep the 3-speed in storage.
