$15,000Please no tire kickers, price is firm. I work two jobs, so please dont waste what little free time I have, thanks.I have a 1972 Cuda 340. its originally a 340 auto, but the PO has installed a 70 T/A engine and the 4spd trans. the car has a lot of work done to it, but its still a project. i know this will turn a lot of buyers away but i will try and be as detailed as possible.
if your a purist and are looking for something stock, might as well hit the back button. sorry. i was originally searching around for a really nice demon for about the same price, an immaculate one. but when i found this project car i just couldnt pass it up. I have it up for sale for what i bought it for, even though over the past few years ive dumped a lot of time and money into it, but it deserves to go to a home where it can get cared for more than i can offer it. I just dont have the time or resources to finish the job, plus my wife wants me to get rid of it.
here are some specs:
1972
Cuda - see fender tag pic
originally red but resprayed viper red (po did this, sorry its not original color but it is a cool color nonetheless)
custom covered interior that needs some minor fitment work but looks slick
lowered

brand new brakes all around (literally brand new calipers and rotors etc)(front disc)
4spd trans with 4.10 gears
340 T/A engine - offset intake push-rods, adjustable rockers

The engine was rebuilt by the previous owner and i dont know much about it other than what he told me, ant that it has a full ARP kit, crank, rods, head studs etc. forged pistons that are 1pt higher than stock, new bearings and iirc its either a .020 or .040 overbore. i wanna say it was a .040 but i dont know for sure. I put the cam in it, and it was a correct install and break-in and it was miles ahead of the too-hot summit cam that was in it before.
the motor runs great, but its got an occasional pop in the exhaust and im not a pure muscle head. my engine experience is mostly with tuning stand-alone fuel injection with a laptop and a wideband, and tuning harley carburetors. It runs good but not perfect. what carb'd engine runs perfect anyways?
lets see what else, the initial timing is 22* and total time is about 30* no vac advance. it runs about 12.5:1 on the wideband and about 12:1 at WOT.
here is the bad parts on the car:
no grill - and they are expensive, it was stolen from the PO and I have lacked the cash for a new one since i blew all my $ on getting it running right and the car itself
drivers side door needs some work so it will open and close correctly - this takes some finess that i lack. i was planning to take it to a pro for alignment
right front snow shield is loose and rubs on the rotor - annoying ill try to fix this before any test drives.
needs new shocks on all 4 - their cheap
its got good tires but its got the small 14" rallye wheels on all 4. but i did put some nice radial t/a tires on the back. the biggest they make in 14" i think their 235 or 245
all the lights work but the blinkers dont
orig. a non a/c car but the heater works
hood scoops are missing
hood paint treatment and rear blackout treatment not done yet
missing one brake light chrome trim ring
missing the lower valance
all the glass is brand new except for one rear wing window, but the front driver needs new bushings so it will roll up and down properly
carpet is old
door panels recovered but need to be taken to a shop for fitting, as they are a touch too wide to allow the door to close once installed. so they are off.
the car needs a lot of work but most of it is simple.
the car is meant to look like this
http://kelleyhome.homestead.com/files/cuda62000no2.jpg but without the side stripe - but i was going to put it on anyways because it looks awesome.
on with the pics:
Here is one of the exhaust banks i made for it. notice this one has the O2 sensor bung for tuning, and also its just a Coffin muffler, from a shop that makes custom mufflers in Tulare. Might i say, this car sounds throaty, loud, and MEAN! its a touch too loud for my taste, but then i planned on commuting in the car a few days a week, alternating with my motorcycle.
