Rudy as a fellow Hoosier (Southern division) I am astounded at this car, your history of the restoration and the ever-so-well deserved awards. Thanks for the pictures, the stories and bringing the awards to Mopars!

Wow all over again

this thread blew me away, truly can't thank you enough for your posting all this up. the attention to detail and the pics will really help a lot of folks. I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum with a B5/Blue /6, and your beautiful car is an absolute inspiration and very insightful for when I completely re-do my girl. I'm keeping the factory /6 (not many left I think) and going to use her for a daily driver for a while first though :) can't wait to get a new layer of B5 on her, yours looks soooo beautiful, my favorite color combo. she was really meant to be with you for sure

Thank you guys! The car keeps amazing me, it was just featured in the new A to Z Musclecar series seen here.

I'm updating the 71 thread shortly, it should be in primer in two weeks! Still going to be a driver ;)

Not sure if you heard, but I sold the AAR this year! I received a incredible offer on it, it was the second highest selling AAR in history. I am keeping the numbers private, but it was worth it.  I took the money and bought a bigger home out in the woods..needed garage space really bad. It was a tough decision, but I never drove it, only stared at it. It's in a collection of SIX HUNDRED cars now where it belongs with twelve other AAR Cudas.. Just awesome.

Congratulations.... :cheers: I hope my AAR is the third highest when I sell it next year :roflsmiley:

A collection of "six hundred" cars ? Is that the true or just an exaggeration ? I've never heard of a collection that big before :scared: Who's the guy ? Is it in the States ?

I'm restoring a Cuda for a guy who has 84 cars and I thought that was high. :dogpile:

It's no joke, it's well over 500, supposed to be 600 now. You can see some of them in the background in the video above.. Two brothers.
I hear that 200+ are HEMI and six packs.
I believe the A to Z is their show now, going through some of the collection.

Hello I'm in the work on buying a B5 AAR just like this one.  but its in lots of peices.  LOL.  I wanted to ask  it supposed to have blue int.
like your  but I noticed the dash is Black its in great shape  but its black.  the car is all org sheet meta  never had any  rust repair  ever.
the right front fender had a little damage  but other wise  car is Super nice.  It was all checked out by Galen Govier I have all the paper work on it.
Just wondered if they had a blue int.  with a Black dash??  thnx Ill be posting up some info asap.

It's all on your fender tag. Some had blue interior.. About 37 of them if I remember correctly I need to check. The rest would be black. A blue interior def should have a blue dash, unless someone swaped it out. Does the car have a fender tag? Galen would have told you if the car had incorrect interior in it.

yes it does have the fender tag  I did not read all of what Galen wrote  but I just notice alter after looking thur the part that the dash was black.
but I thought  the owner said it was a blue int.  car.  so I wondered if they made a black dash with blue Int.  I what I wondered.
Ill have to do some more digging on it and the part  there might be another dash  with all these part also.
 the owner has been colecting  a ton of NOS  and good used parts for the car   so I done even  really know what all is there yet. thnx  for your help.
