    My 70 Cuda project.
    « on: January 07, 2014 - 06:51:45 PM »
    Here a a few pics of the 70 Cuda I picked up a couple months ago. I found the car just 10 miles from my home. Never knew it was there and the guy had 3 of them. A 340, a Grand Couple Convertible and this 440 car. It was originally a 318 car but someone has installed a 1970 440 in her. Talked the guy down to 6,000.00 and drove her up on the trailer. Has great interior, no rust in trunk or any floor pans. The paint is about a 5 on a 10 scale. I have been building Chevy's for the last 30 years and have not had a Mopar since High School. It was a 1969 Roadrunner, 383, 4 Speed. Now I'm back and looking forward to building a Chevy Killer.

    What a cool looking car, what other plans do you have. A black hockey stick stripe would not look out of place either. :drool:
    The colour really works well on that combo, i like it. :clapping:

    You got your self a super deal buddy :wow:

    What condition were the other 2 cars in ?

    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.
