Welcome to the site!  Your Cuda is looking mighty fine with a killer 340.  Where ya from and how long have you had your Cuda?

Originally from Seattle WA, then Kirkland and now Snohomish.
I bought the Cuda in 1987 as a project and did a partial restoration/rebuild, engine, interior, paint, top... I don't think I will ever finish...
I've been a member since May 2013 and have followed several threads and found lots of information as well as inspiration.
It's great to see all my favorite E Bodies in one place.

Thanks,
Randy

Very nice! I see you're not afraid to rip on her a little. Nothing like cruising around on a 80* day with the top down on a cuda. Welcome aboard.

What a stunningly nice car you have, i love it in Green :drool: What size tyres did you put on your 17" Yearone rallye rims. I can not wait to see pictures of your convertible with these new rims fitted. :bananasmi :woohoo: :2thumbs:
