That looks like a 73 Sprint. Did you snag the XT off the back of the 69 Camaro????

i saved the 'Cuda and I'm working on getting the Bee out of there.

Does the '62 Dodge have a fender tag? What motor is supposed to be in the 'cuda that you saved - does it have a fender tag?

let's see some pics of the Cuda. What color should it be? From the looks of the name plate it appears to be a '71. Correct?

74. Its the car in my sig.

This is what it looked like when I first got it uncovered.



Original Paint.



Its still a work in progress right now. I really enjoy working on it and driving it because you can catch a first gen camaro out from time to time or even a mustang, but when I'm driving this, I know I won't see another one on the road. All of my friends want me to leave the body alone and drive it as is. Its a sleeper until I fire it up.

here is a little vid I made when I got it running after it had been sitting 25+ years. Yes, the 340 was built that long ago and it fired up and ran great with a new fuel system, ignition system, and an engine wiring harness. No exhaust, just open headers.

Not sure on the tag. My uncle bought the car in the early 70s. It had a built 383, dual point, headers and a push button auto. The 383 grenaded one night when he pushed it too much on top end. The I have the tag for the 'Cuda. The 'Cuda is a 74, the last year they were made. It was a 318 3 speed, but now it has a very strong 340, 4 speed, and a 4.10 super track pack dana 60 out of a 70 440 6 pack challenger. Only motors you could get in a 'Cuda in 74 were the 318 and the 360.
