1970 V code Cuda

Very Nice! Great color. Great drivetrain.

Make sure you have at least two throttle return springs on the main carb. (You can actually put a smaller diameter spring inside the factory return sprung and route them in tandem). I learned the hard way that one is not enough. It broke while leaving a toll booth back in 1983 and all six barrells instantly went to wide open throttle. Quite an exciting tens seconds of terror.

LOVE that color. Great looking car.

Thanks everyone, Joe thanks for the sites to read. I already decoded my fender tag its really strange I have a N31 means optional compression. I do not understand that one. Seems like they double up on options. I have a A34 which includes 26 in radiator and the heavy duty fan, but they still list 26 in radiator and N65 heavy duty fan seperatly on the tag
Steve I will be sure to check the return spring to see if there is 2

A34 is the Super Track Pack which was the 4.10 Dana rear option that had a bunch of other mandatory options included in the price - like power disc brakes, clutch fan package and 26" radiator. The "26" on the fender tag is a normal occurrence.

Are you sure it's not M31? the normal molding package for a Cuda. Sometimes the letters are hard to read. Post a photo of the tag if you got one.

N31: Optional Compression Ratio would be for an Export car going into a country that did not have high enough octane in their gas as was recommended by the manufacturer. The compression ratio would be lowered to compensate.

N31 would not be on the fender tag for a car that was shipped within the USA

As Steve said it is probably M31 which is a belt molding.



See the Y07 code - that means build for Canada Order. Y05: build for USA Order. Y09: build for Export Order.

I guess it is M31 that explains it Thanks

They must have added the Black Sport Tape Stripes because V6X does not appear on the Fender Tag

EN1 means a single Fender Tag. If the number of options requires a second Tag, EN1 will not be there and EN2 will appear on the second Fender Tag:

I fiqured they added it I didnt see it either. The car has a rim blow steering wheel would that be on the tag? The guy I bought it from said it was on the car when he bought it in 1974

That would be S83 - not on the Fender Tag.

Did you get a Build Sheet with the car?

Things like tires and wheels do not appear on the Fender Tag. They would be on the Build Sheet
