there's a lot of info out there, I think most of it is correct, but some of it is conflicting and incorrect.

I would rather drive it Nash.....  :bigsmile:
Some sites said there are up to 12 Nash B cars........   :clueless:
Still cannot locate other Cuda's.  Guy named Nash Bubba has a green cuda. Don't believe it a NB 'Cuda.

Oh, i can't wait until the weather turns nicer.

from what I have read, there were 4 cuda's initially, mine was the first purchased.
then, later on, one or two more cuda's were purchased.

I heard there is one guy in CA that owns two of them.

Here is the thread from when the last member had bought one of the cars in 2006.  Although the pictures are gone, there is still some good info there!

Thanks for the link to the thread. Yes, that nash bridges cuda is the one I recently purchased. I'm not sure if it was from the owner in the thread , or if there was another owner in between us.  Anyways, this car has been for sale off and on for over a year, and I have been following it throughout. recently it dropped into my price range, and I actually did a lot of internet searching about this car, on this site, as well on other sites where the cars were discussed.  since purchasing the car, I have discovered that this car was used in the majority of the filming for the first two seasons, at the very least because I haven't got to the newer episodes yet. very neat. there is a picture of the first four cars, and my car is in the forefront. I tried to post the picture, but the picture is 1.2M, and the limit is 300kb.

That is a very cool picture Nash!  I might have to clone one to drive around.

Is that really more like a school bus yellow to show up better on TV?

from my perspective, its like a deeper mustard yellow. I don't know the exact shade at this time, but is supposed to be a sherwin Williams school bus yellow, industrial color.  don Johnson, when starting this show up requested a car like he had seen in a book, one of Otis chandler's cars, a '71 lemon twist hemi convertible cuda, automatic, with white interior. apparently, that shade was too light for filming, so the car(s) were repainted a darker shade. still looks nice.

So your car now has a hemi in it correct?   Very cool car to own!   :worshippy

yes, it has a hemi, single 4 bbl.  thanks to all for the complements.

I'm having a good time watching the episodes.

Watching the episodes?

If I had your Cuda, I would be "making" episodes.  :burnout:  :ylsuper: :bigsmile:

Now hold on a sec.  :hyper: We just thawed from sleet and ice and now getting snow.  :stomp:
But I do have a shop and garage I could park your cuda in, put a fan on me blowing my hair in the wind, open a beer and enjoy life.  :bigsmile:
I guess I could mount that fan on the rod attached to the shifter hump where they mounted the interior camera. Wait.. now where would I mount the camera?  :smilielol:
I think I could figure it out after lots of sitting in it, cranking the hemi up about every ten minutes  :ylsuper: (with exterior door cracked open)
Yep, an episode already in production.  :2thumbs:

now that is funny.

I am in the process of finding a custom 1911 builder to make me a clone of nash bridges' 1911 pistol.  maybe i'll get a look-a-like sport jacket as well, and then do what you have suggested. hmm.

Here's another idea.
Put a projector/screen in your garage and watch Miami Vice/Nash Bridges while sitting in Nash's Cuda.  :bigsmile:
How cool would it be to have a picture of you watching Nash Bridges in his own car?  :smilielol:
Then...
send a copy to Nash Bridges himself  :2thumbs:
