    My dad's Cudas
    « on: July 31, 2011 - 09:45:46 PM »
    First one is a 70 convertable 'Cuda clone. 440, automatic, shaker hood. She is a blast to drive. Pretty hot little 440 in with solid lifters.




    Second one is a 1971 Baracuda. It was ordered with a Cuda hood and the Cuda running lights but with a slant six. The original owner bought it for his son to drive to high school and didn't want a big engine. The slant six still runs great so we aren't gonna change it. Unmolested originals like this are hard to come by!

    Is that really the original paint on the green one?

    That is a real good looking car!  Pretty cool to keep it original too!

    Love that Barracuda in green/green, it just looks so tidy. Also that Belevedere, my favourite year.
