ANYBODY WANT A CHALLENGE???72 CUDA NEEDS LOTS OF TLC

[MOPARMAN573]

I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS A ROUGH 72 340 'CUDA THAT HAS BEEN RESIDING IN A BARN IN KENTUCKY FOR A LONG TIME. THE CAR WILL NEED 1/4'S, TRUNK PAN AND LEFT FRONT FRAME RAIL REPLACED. THE INTERIOR IS MOSTLY THERE EXCEPT FOR THE CONSOLE. SOMEONE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT FENDER FLARES MADE WITH ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF BONDO SO THE 1/4'S WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A 440 IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW, I AM UNSURE OF THE YEAR DUE TO THE D**N RAIN WON'T STOP. THE MOTOR WAS SUPPOSEDLY REBUILT AND NEVER RUN, USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THAT, BUT DOES LOOK CLEAN. I'LL TRY TO FIRE IT UP IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND LET Y'ALL KNOW. I'LL SEND PICS TO WHOMEVER IS INTERESTED BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROJECT AND I'D PREFER ONLY THOSE WITH THE ABILITY TO DO THE REPAIRS TO REQUEST PICS. I TAKES A LONG TIME TO SEND THEM ON MY PC. I AM INTO THIS CAR FOR AROUND $4000 AND I FIGURE IT'LL TAKE AROUND $3500-5000 TO GET IT INTO STREETABLE CONDITION. AT THE RATE E-BODIES ARE ESCALATING, THIS MAY NOT BE SUCH A BAD DEAL. I HAVE TOO MANY OTHER IRONS IN THE FIRE RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M STILL NOT READY TO GIVE IT AWAY. I'LL PROBABLY REGRET SELLING IT AS IT IS MY ONLY E-BODY RIGHT NOW. MY PHONE IS 573-204-1666 ABD E-MAIL IS awschlimme@aol.com. THE CAR IS IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI RIGHT NOW.

Welcome MM573.  That sounds like a decent car, why don't you just post a couple pics here and that'll save you the trouble of sending pics to everyone who just wants to look!     I was checking out your avatar, is this your car too??

I don't really know how to post any pics. Anybody out there got any ideas? When I put my Roadrunner on, It got too big as far as I can see on my pc. As to the question, I traded this car off a couple months ago. Right now we have an 86 Cutlass T-Top with a 69 350 Rocket, an 86 Ram shortbed with a 67 383, and a 70 Buick Skylark 455 Stage 1. I need to sell the "Cuda to buy a 67 Satellite to put the 440 in. The Runner had a .060 over 440, twin 600 Holley's, twin 150 Nitrous kits, and all the other goodies to make 700 plus horsepower. Love my Mopars but, the Buick still took it on the street in a stoplight to stoplight run. Traction was definately an issue for the Mopar. But give the Stage it's due, 550 ft/lb of torque ain't easy to get around. Besides that, least it wasn't a ferd or chitvy.

Norcal, I doubt that the seller looks at this thread anymore. You should probably send him a PM with that question.
