My first car was a 70 Cuda that was sublime green and when i went into the Army i sold it. So for the last 20 years i have kicked myself hard for ever parting with her. Well a month or so ago i had a 1963 Ford Wagon i had bought and couldnt deal with so i had a trade offer from a guy in Florida with this car. The Cuda i have now was suposed to be a very straight car and no rust from all the pics i was sent and conversations we had, welll when the car arrived i was suprised with a Cuda in need of alot of body work and rust repair. Good news is the Cuda is a factory air, power disc brake, and power steering car that was factory Ralley Red. Now with that bening said the build has began its stripped down and as soon as i line up a body shop in Tennessee ill have her blasted and in for some work. Ill keep you all posted as i go along.

Nice looking '72!  Welcome to the site!  :wave:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
