Thank you Thank you. :thumbs:

Ok I will narrate, Cuda bs23hob388*** was born on June 20th 1970.

The engine matches the car in every way, it was born in the same month. So do the heads and Intake.
#Matching ok we got that ;D, but some bone head raced it with Nos gass, and 4:56 gears.
You guessed it, Bamm the rod broke. Fortunatly nothing was taged and I believe it is fixable.

The only body mod is a sub frame conectors, you can see it in the floor picture. It had to have been done years ago, square thick box that runs the two frame together. I looks cool, might leave it, am not sure.
Rust under the drivers peddles, and the trunk. Slap stick console.

11inc Drums all 4 corners, still painted red. Manual steering, man-well brakes, front and rear Sway-bars, standard dash.
The spare is the raised white letter original, it still holds AIR!

Original tire jack instructions! Original exhaust tips.
Over all condition of body; Grill (nice), fenders (solid), hood missing, this item is gone, so if you have one let me know. Doors (flawless), 1/4 might need lower section replaced. Trunk rusty but less that you'd think for a neglected 34 year old Cuda. Probably because it is a non vinyl top car

Windows and trim are great, I have all interior pieces, I riped it out so see the floor.
It should have 3:23 posi, but the 4:56s are in there now with big pinion case 487.

Well now for the, (who knows), the speedo says 43240 miles, I just don't know if that's true.
How do I know??    :dontknow: who can tell me??

More..... by the numbers, fender and B-sheet brake down later.  :patriot:

Nice car. Looks to be a pretty easy reso. Will you keep that color or would you change it?

Thanks guys,

I will bring it back to stock appearance as it left Detroit, no mods. It's really a good looking car, when you get down to it.

It came with rally wheels, gill moldings and a black 340 stripe. I've never seen another one like it.
Green has been the color of all my Mopars, so why quit now.

The engine will be new, I'll put the original one in a crate for some future resto. I'm only 38 and I know I can't keep my foot out of the accelerator :burnout:

It will produce 400hp at the crank for some big block power, but still be a 340ci.
I'll have aluminium heads and intake, painted to look stock.

I'm gona  :spank: the people that think it's a bone stock Cuda.
Only when the light goes green will they really know.

 :burnout:  :wave:

That will look sweet when it`s done.I like the fact that you are keeping it all original,even the color as everyone seems to change it and that FF4 will actually be a rare site at car shows now!
