This sublime green Texas cuda has been off the road since 1979 and needs a mechanical rebuild to get it back on the road. The matching numbers motor was pulled, disassembled and stored indoors. Original automatic tranny is still intact. The car has very solid rust-free floors, frame rails, fenders, doors and rockers, but has rust around the rear window which led to a rusted out trunk pan and right lower quarter (both trunk drop-offs and frame rails are still mazingly rust free).
The cuda is documented by the original fender tag and buildsheet (which is still intact under the rear seat). The Fender Tag decodes as follows:

The current mileage is 92,454.8 miles, and the sublime green paint is still the original factory paint. I had planned on preserving it as a survivor and making it into a presentable driver. I would be prepared to sell it for $15,000.00. The car is located in SW Utah.
