Fake AAR. It was originally a B5 318 Gran Coupe.

It was EV2 Orange from about 2001 when it was first resurrected until 2008 when I decided to color swap.

All the goodies, 408 Eddy headed stroker 500 hp/520 tq, 4 speed, 3.91 rear, Firm Feel suspension, reinforced everything, TTI/Accurate Ltd. AAR exhaust with QTP servo dumps... I'm also adding rear discs and a Vintage Air system now.

I am in school, so the car is patiently waiting as I slowly reassemble her. I redid most components when it was away at the paint shop. Now its just details that are slowing the reassembly aspect down.

Yeah, I know.... why did I color swap.... :screwy:

The car was nice before, but it had a few gremlins in the paint, and I got tired of chasing them and all the blending it required. The body lines weren't so crisp and the panel fit was not so great.

All that is fixed now. Here's another just before I took it apart.

Welcome!  Nice cars.  Black Cuda's look awesome, but I hate trying to keep black cars clean.
