uk newbie just joined the mopar family
« on: November 25, 2008 - 03:50:45 PM »
hi guys,my name is Neil from the UK.

                      I just got myself a 72 numbers matching 340 cuda in sublime green.

                    My previous car was a 66 mustang 289 v8,which i rebuilt over 2 yrs, i loved that car !

                  But the only car i would swap it for came along................the cuda.

                                              cheers. cudaneil.

Cheers, Neil, and congratulations. You know we have to see the Cuda now, right?

hi Dutch,
             Well i bought the car from IRELAND  uk.    I swapped my mustang and a Ducati for it !

           Its a numbers matching 340, and it was rebuilt about 2 yrs ago in ohio usa i am told.    Its pretty standard except for the addition of a go-wing and AAR strobe stripe.

           Rebuilt motor and trans,and it has a column shifter,which i am told was a rare option.
        
            I have some of those little eyebrow spoilers for the front end,which i havent fitted yet.  And i have just fitted a chrome racing mirror to the passenger door. (expensive!)


                                                                     cheers, cudaneil. :bigsmile:

Hi - I just joined here too - whereabouts are you ?

The speed freak officianados are anti column shift but personally I think it's a great option.

I don't like go-wings and spoilers etc. though.

Maybe see ya sometime.
