    I think its a cool car but whoever built it got confused on which side markers to use. Other than that and the funky big wheels its a nice ride for sure.

    alright, I talked to this guy that swears he has an early production 72 cuda that has a 426 Hemi in it from the factory. I told him that only the 70 and 71 cudas had the 426 hemis and he called me a liar. So before I drive an hour out to his place, is there a chance they put a 426 hemi in a 72 cuda. And if it is true what would this thing be worth.

    why do I feel stupid for even asking. I think this guy is a loser.

    Is Part 2 going to be:

    Awe Damn, I actually read this entire thread..Course, I too am still waiting for my own '72 426 Hemi that was ordered and dealer installed in my own '72 Challenger, to get done at the machine shop...no pics, but The machinist stated that it should produce somewhere in the 2500-3000 HP range, on Pump 87, with 50 Degrees total timing all in @ 1200 Rpms...Also stated the engine uses a "3/4 Race" cam, with a Harley double pumper carb, "Pop up" pistons, and special "Gel filled" crankshaft whatever that is...He said it should really scream..I believe him too, cause he has an original 426 Hemi that came in a Dodge truck that he redid at his machine shop and MAN! that thing runs 14.00 at the local 1/4 mile track.. :naughty:

    I found it.  Check out the vin.  Now has a 383.  In the pic of the dash vin it almost looks like an R.

    You guys sure it not only looks like a R but actually is? Seems so kinda crazy.
    Someone wasn't paying attention when stamping vins.


    We must put our change together and buy it!!
