hi every one my names kirby. while i dont own an e-body my dads and myself are working on restoring his 72 340 cuda as well as my 73 duster which i'm throwing around the idea of putting in a 400 big block in place of the 318 but not decided yet because the 318 was just rebuilt and i havent drivin it all but one time because its still pretty much in pieces.

well this is really all i could come up with i took these on my phone because i don't have a camera. i got this car about 5 years ago it was in very good condition only thing was the floors were rotted out there was some rust at the bottom of both quarter panels. it had the original motor in it but when we took it out to put the motor that is in it now it was stolen along with some other stuff. it stll had the build sheet in the springs in the back seat. all in all its a very nice car for the 400 dollars i paid for it so let me know what you guys think
