Came to the east coast around 2004 from California and stripped to repair a 440 Cuda and now I am gonna just put it back together.Boy do I like the No rot issues in a California car.

You have a sickness brother!  :roflsmiley:  My wife would castrate me if I brought home half the cars you do!
Nice score though! Ya I love CA cars, mine had original brake lines, no rust , just cracked them loose and replaced the flex lines and wheel cylinders. I'm sure I couldn't do that with my 05 Suburban with all the salt they put down.  :grinno:

Thanks guys
I really bought it and this what it looked like when we dropped it off the trailer yesterday morning at 11 am and the pics I first posted were at about 7 pm.If my wife saw it she would have killed me but the Scamp that I am building for a friend is off to be painted and he allowed me to drag that pile into the garage and reassemble it.I have a few more things to fix and then it will be up for sale.

I have to show you this as I am from the northeast and is quite a rarity around these parts.I usually would just part out a car but I feel that a car this solid is really hard to come by around here.Its not perfect by any means as it needs work to the passenger side rear quarter and if I have it for a while I might just repair that too :bigsmile:

I have to sell it as I jumped the gun on it and really don't need another project around here.I still have the 68 GTS project and the Iroc R/T and of course the crossrammed Cuda and the pick up also.I just know how hard it is around here to find a good solid Mopar and when I saw the car,I had to buy it.I listed it tonight on craigslist and I have already talked on the phone with one guy about it so we'll see what happens?I really need to buy a car trailer because the Valley will be open soon for some fun :jumping: :jumping:

Pulled this out today and dragged it back home.Anyone know if a 56 Dodge Royal thats damn near complete is worth anything?Gonna put some fresh fuel and a battery to it in the next day or so and I will bet it fires right up.
