Well for your first post since you joined almost 9 years ago I’d say you done good!

 

[jeepsterhemi]

Thanks!

A few decades ago my son and I found (and re-sale) two 1970 Ebody convertible.

One 'Cuda and one Grand Coupe. Can I post some pics in this forum?

 

[rbbruno3]

Welcome , pics are always a plus. I have to ask do you have a Jeepster with a hemi?

 

[jeepsterhemi]

Thanks, I will post what I got of the 'Cuda.

Like DeMatt1 note, I'm not that fast......I work on my Jeepster project since ....1994...change my mind a few times, 1958 Hemi, then 440, then a slant and back to a baby Hemi, a Dodge 241...

During that time I help my son restore his '68 GTX, my daughter '73 Scamp.....my brothers projects...

 

[DetMatt1]

We’d love to see them all, Jeepster included! Welcome to the site from the Motor City!

Here's pictures of the BS27N 'Cuda as found in 1994, sorry no pictures of the complete but very rusty BP27N Grand Coupe that comes with it as a part car......

The 'Cuda comes with a lot of new parts as the owner was working at a the local dealership...

 

[jeepsterhemi]

Some of the parts.....

 

[DetMatt1]

B7 car?

 

[jeepsterhemi]

Yes, I think it was dark blue and if I remember well the convertible Grand Coupe had a tan leather interior.....

 

[jeepsterhemi]

I'm trying to find the copy of the broadcast sheets I made at the time...

 

[jeepsterhemi]

Sorry DetMatt1, the 'Cuda was Lemon Twist...originally.....

[jeepsterhemi]

Sorry for the delay......

Little story on my daughter's Scamp, bought it for 150$ in the mid nineties from a scrap yard, home restauration (except paint and dual exhaust system), take off the 40,000 miles original 318 and transmission to put a 360/4bbl/727. All the job took about two years and cost about 1,200$.

Run the car for 18,000 miles in twenty plus years, sold it for 4,000$ in automn 2017. The new owner didn't want the 318/904.

My son bought the GTX for 700$ in 1994, home restauration (except paint and exhaust system). Original 440 but have to find a 4 speed transmission and Hurst/console shifter.

The restauration took about 2 years, don't know the cost but my son sold the car to a California guy for 10,000$US in 2007. My son died of cancer in 2008 at 36 years old.

Sorry to hear about your son.
Looks like he built an awesome car!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Would love to see those build sheets.

What color was the gran coupe originally? Was it a vert?
Tan interiors are awesome! and hard to come by.

Looks like you live at the north pole..

Thank!...

We restored the GTX pretty close to original, except he lost the original exhaust tips and we didn't have the time to paint the hood: code #508 Performance Hood Treatment.
