My dad has owned this car since 1972, and its a 71 Plymouth Cuda. It's originally a 340 car, but we put a mild 360 in it for him or me to drive to just goof around in. We pulled it out of storage in 1999-2000 and started fixing it back up. It almost all original except for the paint, the engine, a new dual exhaust system with original Flowmaster 40 series, and tires.

Got a red 70 chevelle back in '81, drove it like crazy until 83 and parked it. Didn't realize how good it was until I went to get it from my parents house in 2005. ended up being an LS5, TH400 auto SS454 with 3 build sheets still in it. And then I found the VIN still stamped on the motor. Love that car!

Thanks, I thought about selling it, but the family said they would dis-own me if I did. I have a lot more pics at cardomain, just do a search for A70LS5. I would post a link, but last night when I tried, the message was quarantined and it still has not been approved.

I only drive the Chevelle a weekend or so a month and never get tired of it. The family was right, and i'm glad I invested the money and time in it to fix it up. God what a money pit that was.

the money was part of the reason i sold mine, i didint have the time to devote to fixing the ENTIRE body, almost every pannel was showing rust signs when i started on the body.

I've also got a 73 roadrunner, 383 wedge motor, 3 speed auto, plum crazy purple, but I ain't got pics because after restoring it 10 years ago, its been sitting in storage. Family owns a junkyard, so if you can htink of it, we've tried it, fiero's with 350's, mg with a 327, ford granada with a 454...yeah we're a wild bunch...but enough talk, for more pics go here: http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...%20Carlo%20SS/

Sorry, no trades. Unless it is a very rare car. But then probably still no.

I replaced the single leaf with 4 leaf, and two inch lowering blocks.

it does bottom out a lot, I have learned to watch for dips and such on the roadway, but sometimes overpasses catch me off guard.

a little ouch and a spark or two...

but it looks so nice low.
