Thanks for the welcome Dave
I'll make a long story short!
Greg or Tom were getting their hair cut, the girl that did the hair for years, one day said, my husband has a car for sale.
Greg or Tom said whats he have for sale? The girl said I think it's some kind of Plymouth. They both said lets look into it more and pool our money if it turns out to be anything special.
They looked, checked the numbers and it turned out to be a '71 HemiCuda! I think they bought the car minus engine for $3,200.00 if memory serves! Sooooooooooooooo........... as I said, go check it out! You never know!
BTW....true story I used to work with Tom and Greg at the magazines, here in FL

Yes, Dave, to answer your question, I own a '70 Cuda, 440+6, w shaker, auto, dana, FY1 w black vinyl top etc.
You may have seen it in some magazines or tv shows.

This is a very cool site! Much luck and success!
Chuck West

I remember that article!The car had a 340 in it and it wasn`t untill they checked the vin # that they realized it was an original hemi car.I keep hoping for a find like that as they are still out there but I don`t have that kind of luck.  :'(

Sorry Dave, No digital!
Will be getting one soon tho!
If you get cable and watch The American Musclecar TV Show on SpeedChannel, you can see my Cuda at the very end of most of the shows! My car is going down the road with a friends FY1 Superbird behind it. I am the program coordinator for the show!
Maybe you remember a Lemon twist Cuda at the start of Popular Hotrodding TV Show? It's the one laying tracks of Polyglas rubber!
Has been on My Classic Car as well.

As soon as I get a camera and learn how to send pics., I'll try to send some!

Take care,
Chuck

Thanks Redline!
Is going to be fun making some new friends! I would imagine I already know some here, they just have different names from some other boards I frequent.
I've been looking this board over and it's certainly interesting!
I am certain I'll enjoy it here.

Thanks again,
Chuck

(Plum6Pak) looked, checked the numbers and it turned out to be a '71 HemiCuda!

I inserted my name in there Chuck, I have found several hemi 'Cudas, the problem is, each time I do I wake up right after they tell me I can have it for $100.00.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Welcome to the site Chuck, it's a lot of fun here!

Hey Plum6Pak!
Thanks for the welcome!
TDF! I just happen to have the same recurring dream as you! Lol! I like a lot of cars, but love Cudas & Challengers from the very 1st Generation to the last! I could see a Plum, Shaker 440 6 Pak Challenger sitting in the garage beside my Cuda. Then I'll have to start on the pair of Shaker Hemi cars! Lol!

TFN, Glad to hear all is well! I hope for the best for everyone else.
Don't know about you all, but here in FL, We're about tired of hurricane's! I would bet I am not alone.
I would imagine all states are about fed up!

Take care all,
Chuck

Chuck- Welcome to C-C.C!!

That is a beautiful Cuda that you have, seen it numerous times, considering that American Muscle Car is one of my favorite Speed Channel shows!
