    Newbie from Texas
    « on: January 16, 2009 - 07:29:20 PM »
    Hello everybody, my name is Danny Artherholt. I currently reside in Corpus Christi TX, with my wife and two baby girls.
    I have a 70 Cuda that was given to me on my 16th birthday by my dad (original owner), although at 28 I finally get to go pick it up now, as he has finally turned it loose. Probably a good thing though LOL. The duster I drove instead ended up in the salvage yard pretty quick. The Cuda has original 440, auto trans. Tor red with black vinyl top & window louvers. The only thing missing is the go wing. Will post some pictures as soon as I can get to Oklahoma next week and pick the car up. By the way, this is an awseome site!!!

    Welcome to the site.  You're gonna love it.  With a car like that I can see why your dad was reluctant to let it go.  Keep it in good hands and I'd post some pictures soon.  These guys here get a little restless without seeing the goods.

    Thats great that you're keeping the Cuda in the family.  Nothing like having an original E-body passed down to you from your dad. 

    If I were you, I would get a pen and some paper and then I'd sit him down with a six pack and have him tell me a detailed story of why he decided to buy a Cuda and all of the history behind it. 

    Oh, Welcome to the site, Danny....post some pictures when you get the chance.
