Much needed pictures, that's a great car! I would love to have it!!

Is that 23 thousand actual miles?

Wow, that is a great car! If it was local I would be all over it. It is in Texas correct?

Is paint original?

hum...I thought all 70-71 challengers had to lose the rear exhaust out the rear valance for use in California, and had to run drop downs right behind the panel. I have seen 2 hemi cuda's that way for 70, maybe its just a hemi rule.

It may have been due to the Cuda's cutouts being up, in the valance? The Challenger's tips were technically below the valance.

That's a great car at a great price, true survivor...but I can assure you that is NOT the car's original spare wheel and tire.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ryanbowtie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">THANKS Tracker1, good information. The car was LA built 2nd week of Feb 1970, I can not find build sheet but I understand LA cars may have not had one. The 15 x 7 wheels are part #2944390 which I would think are original.

Without the sheet, there is no way to tell for sure what came on the car. But January 6th, 1970 (according to your wheel date there) certainly puts the wheels close enough to the car's &quot;scheduled&quot; production date of Feb 5th.

Now when it comes to collapsible spares, there are stories of new Cuda/Challenger owners popping the trunk at the dealership and telling their salespeople to &quot;get that s#*t out of the trunk of my new car and get me a real spare please!&quot;. To which some salesmen would respond by raiding another car on the lot to get a full size spare to toss in there. It happened.
