Looking for 'Cuda pics in Y9 Tahitian Gold

[BS CUDA]

 My 74 'Cuda was originally Y9 Tahitian Gold with black interior and top - previous owner changed it to the current blue with white top and interior. My drag track has closed here in Calgary and I am considering finishing the paint and body instead of shaving 10th's - it is currentlly what I call a 3 footer. Would love to see a 'Cuda in Y9 Tahitian Gold as I can only find remnants on the inside of the doors. Honestly not to appealing but............ Other than that prolly gonna go B5 and definitely go back to black top and interior.

I'm guessing that Y9 was a darker shade of my Y6 golden haze metallic.

It would look much like this Challenger. http://www.aarta.com/challenger_colors/pictures/1973_74jy9.jpg

 Hood - your car is exactly why I started to again consider the original color  Your car looks fantastic!!!!!! I am unsure about anything darker though - and as for resale(which probably will never happen) I don't think will matter as the car is slightly more modified

kissalien - I think you have the color and I believe I may have run across this challenger b4. I wonder how many 'Cudas were produced in Y9 as I cannot find a pic. Not that it would look much different, I would have to see it on 'Cuda lines b4 I shelled out the $$$$$ for the Y9. But hey who knows???

Do you have any remnants of the color inside your car anywhere at all we could have a look at please, perhaps on the trunk floor or under the carpet

Not at the moment - but it is supposed to warm to about 0 this weekend - I will try to pull a panel and take a pic as that is the only place I have spotted a glimpse. It seems this car was completely redone at one time with the exception of 1 door on the inside. I will post as soon as possible.

COOL i will check my records and see if i have a reference picture for you when i see the color you have, i think i do have a picture of one like Kissalien linked to also.

Hemiken - I did not make it to the garage last weekend - Patriots playoff game and work - I will try again this weekand as I really need a sample car 

[hemiken]

Hi BS,

Is this any good to you then buddy.....................

[BS CUDA]

  WOW - I think you have it - all my searches have yielded 0. Thanks HemiKen. I will stare at this for a few weeks b4 I make a decision  Although the stance of my car, the wheels ............. just maybe.

[hemiken]

Can you post a better picture of your car how it is now in Blue please.
You have a fair bit to change out of you are going Black inside also ?

[BS CUDA]

Yes - lots of changes to go back - but fortuneately everything required is available. Although I don't know if the cost to do so is worthy - and perhaps just sticking with the "my way" approach is the path to continue on. Someday I think I might sell this one as I always have wanted a '71.   Seems my picture files are too large to post. 

[hemiken]

I hate it when that happens, you loose everything you just typed because your picture file was too large...... i get that every time. So i sent you a PM, if you want a larger picture of what i posted i can send it via e-mail

[BS CUDA]

Thanks Hemiken - that pic is exactly what I was hoping for / to see. I think the color may actually grow on me - the wife is already convinced.
