Here is my second cuda.  This is the day I got her running.
I drove it around town for several months before I had to sell it.

   This is how my car looked after I got it back on the road and from sitting in my garage for 20 +  years. I drove it like this all summer and went to all the local car shows. The car had a rubber door guard strip down the side with that thin white pin stripe tape as an accent . (typical 70's customizing) Wing was broke in two above the pedestal.  Of cource the next step was to make it purdy.     :-\

Your car looks great now but I liked it also before the paint job.  Looks like it was driven and enjoyed like a street racer.

 Mine should qualify with the lime green bottom, burnt orange rocker panel, and red paint.  :D

This is one of the pics sent to me from Knoxville,Tennesee prior to me purchasing it.
It still had it's original 35yo paint and vynil roof.
When I sandblasted it back to a bare shell there was no evidence of prior accident or repair.
It did have it's 35 year  accumulation of carpark minor dings and scrapes.

Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action
