Wow man that is really nice!  I like the look of the pistol grip with out the consol.  The Coronet was nice, but I like this better.

Looks great Barry.  I have to agree that I like this car better than the coronet as well (even though that was a beautiful car too).  Best of luck with it.  I can't wait to see under the hood!

I gotta say,  it would take one heck of a Coronet to be as nice as this Cuda.  A 340 4-speed is one of the best driving Cudas made.  You'll have a ball in it.   :beer:

Love the B5 blue interior.  :thumbs:

Hey Barry, That fish looks great! Looks like you made a real good deal there! I've got to agree
with A110235, That pistol grip looks really cool WITHOUT the console! Makes it standout more and
gotta love all the boot pleats showin'. My dad was a truck driver and that was back in the daze of
the shifters being 4 feet long with 5 bends in them...I used to think that was coolest thing back then! :laughing: Good luck with the new ride and happy motoring. :thumbs:  Jeff

 :thumbs: Well Barry I think just maybe you did the right thing. The best of course woulod have been to have both cars, but if you couldn't, why not have a bad ass e-bod, right?! My purest mopar love is the second gen. Charger, but the e-bodies are a real close second,lol, and since you didn't have to give up a Charger for the Cuda, I guess it was OK,lol. CONGRATULATIONS Mopar bud. Now, when can we expect to see a few more pics of this honey?  :beer:
