1970 Plymouth Hemi Cuda (THE FIRST EVER HEMI CUDA)​

 

[Cuda Hunter]

No hood lanyards
No road lamps
shiny black bubble
Overhead consolette? Ordered?
No fender tag
No vin tag
No door sticker

Kinda hard to tell.
If it's the first, it should be a vin something like this. BS23R0B000010

 

[Challenger RTA]

My exact thoughts. No documentation! And want 2,000,000. And a cheap ass Valucraft battery with out and e.

I know it's a BS but is this BS!

Unless someone can provide proof, no Barracuda/Cuda I know of had a partial/3/4 roof. That was a B/C body thing.

 

[Challenger RTA]

Now that you mention that it's a B/C body thing. I now remember that. When I first seen it on the internet, there was dim light . Now it's a bright light.

A body too...

I recall a Cuda / Challenger build , the blended out the Challenger line in the door so it had a Cuda front & Challenger rear or the reverse , I don't have a picture but remember ti in a magazine

Was that a 1st Gen or 3rd? I really don't think it was a 2nd Gen!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

This is the only picture I can find at the moment.
I have a pic of a blue one as well but can't locate it currently.

 

[Challenger RTA]

The odd part back in the day. You take the girlfriend shopping for blue light specials. And they have a pie eating grin. Until they find out your there to buy a new set of tires. Because you bunt the other one off.

I do miss Sears, Sears&Roebuck .
I collect Sears and Roebuck stuff.

Kinda miss Kmart as well.

I collect Sears and Roebuck stuff.

What kind of stuff? For some strange reason I get into the strangest situations. I knew someone that bought out Hello shop in the W PA. I ended up helping clear them out. An other thing I did about 2005. Was Fixing and clear out homes for the VA and realtors. I still get into those messes. There are 2 I'm doing now frozen heat and water pipe repair. I never no it's hit and miss.

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Specifically, any gun or ammunition sears and roebuck. Anything. Old boxes, advertising, real guns and signs. My first was a sears and roebuck 22 bolt when I was 6 years old.
I've got some other items as well. advertising.
Also have a montgomery wards go cart.

I relish the days of my childhood when I could buy anything from a catalogue, regardless of living in the sticks.

 

[Challenger RTA]

real guns

I guess you didn't shoot your eye out and you survived you child hood. I'll keep an eye out for that stuff. Remember WT Grants? When I got out of the service. At the time my father was doing sideline appliance( Bradford) and some tv repair. Just swapping out Fly back transformer ( think that's what they were called.) in tv. That was usually the problem. that was a the last year they were in business.
As I said earlier, doing two house repairs now. Took out a stairway sheeting and there was a cook book from the 60's in there.

Just came across some pictures. This was in the late 70's I seen this at an event. I waited around for the owner to come back. But for some reason I had to go to work. It was the real deal checked vin. It can be made out on the hood. 110 camera? Thought I had more pictures. Thinking it was a PA plate but it might have been NY.
I thought about it later!!! The HEMI owner was probably waiting by my challenger. I think we might have been the only 2 challengers there.

Your mailbox is full. I saw your post that you collect Sears and Roebuck stuff. What kind of Sears stuff have you accumulated? I have been wanting to start collecting for years myself since my last name is Sears, but I never really find much.
