I recently sold a 1971 Cuda for $60K to a guy in Germany. The new owner never felt it necessary to fly to Canada to check it out first, so I (as the seller) was dissapointed that I never got to meet the buyer.

I did request for him to send me picture of him with his new car so I could at least post them on my web site...

One of the best stories of the year!

Here ya go, the image hasn't been transferred to my phone yet.


The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

ALL 1971 340's built after mid-May 1971 were painted blue. The air cleaner remained wrinkle-black until the 72 model year when the switched to orange .
