Hello !
« on: May 13, 2013 - 05:31:36 PM »
Hello everyone !

I'm from Ontario, Canada and 3 weeks ago finally acquired my dream - a 1971 'Cuda. Although the car is almost fully restored, I have had to do a little "personal" tweaking  ;) and found this site to be of great help and information. I hopped on board because I cannot even hope to know my way around like you guys do and will likely need more help in the future. Thanks for such a wonderful site and have a great day ! :wave:
Girls may not be as strong as guys, but I drive the 'Cuda, not carry it !

Looks nice in white does it have the fender tag and build sheet? What are all the options I think factory white is kinda rare?

Thanks. Unfortunately, no fender tag or build sheet ..... What I could determine from the VIN and production numbers, there were only 48 Sno-White (GW3) 383 Automatics built in 1971.  So I like to think I won't run into another one anytime soon  :bigsmile:

That number 48 is probably of 383 automatice Cudas KNOWN TO EXIST.... (in somebodies registry)

Nobody in the world can tell you how many 1971 383 Automatic Cudas were white originally, that information simply does not exist.

What is known is that Chrysler painted 4.4% of all 1971 Barracudas GW3 white, which equates to approximately 249 Cudas (all engines).
