Hi All!

Within the next week or two I will be new caretaker of this 1970 Cuda. Found it at what I believe is an extremely fair price. Current owner wants to buy a Vette and I told him that is his problem and that I am happy to reap the reward from his poor choices! : ) This has a 450 horse 340 pistol grip 4 speed. Edelbrock heads and lots of performance goodies. The story goes that a while back during the restoration process the owner wanted to make it an AAR clone. He put the strobe kit on but didn't have the heart to actually put the AAR on it. I think it looks super. I can't wait to take physical possession of it. It sounds radical and looks great.

WELCOME! :welcome:What a great catch. Hope you have a sales agreement.makes it harder for him to change his mind. If not get one and place a deposit. Hope it works out. Thesis cars just don't fall out of the sky like vetts do!

:welcome:aboard. Powerful ride. The only thing clone about it is the stripe kit.
It would need the grille painted black, AAR black hood, Ducktail spoiler and rear radio antenna to complete the look.

Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. I'm so excited to get this Cuda I have actually lost sleep.
Check out my ad for a 73 Challenger parts car I just listed. If you or someone you know could use it- this car needs to be put to good use in other projects. It's too far gone to be a "practical" restoration candidate. So lets get some other cars back on the road with these parts!

Howdy from Colorado! Awesome looking ride!

Have you picked up the car yet?

Can you post the fender tag info? Is it originally a BH car?

Hi!
I did buy the car. The seller was not able to provide a fender tag or a build sheet. Since the car has been restored I'm hesitant to believe it is in the car anywhere. I looked under the back seat and behind. No luck. It is a BP car.

Hi,

The car has Edelbrock aluminum heads, RPM intake, 750 Edelbrock carb. Also has a higher lift cam, pistons, and other internal upgrades.
