MCACN '15 Photos by mrays

[mrays]

Thanks guys! I'm glad you appreciate my efforts. I have posted photos of all the cars I took pictures of. With limited time I was just trying to take photos of my favorite cars. There were a number of cars I wanted to take photos of but didn't for various reasons. Also, sorry but Fords and Mercury's don't exist in my universe. Not that there's anything wrong with them. To answer John's question, I believe the 62 Impala Verne and I were talking about was originally owned by Bob Zezula. Also, on the stripe delete Cuda convertible, there was a V68 on the fender tag. In reading the auction description of the car it said that the V68 wasn't used on the fender tag once production began. Since this is a pilot car there were probably other anomalies as well.

This 70 Cuda convertible is a 4 speed car and is an original N96 Shaker hood car with the V68 stripe delete. It was also built on the first day of production and is thought to be the first Six Pack Cuda convertible produced since the VIN is 100004.

I've got a question about this car.

The &quot;Hockey Stick&quot; stripe was not standard on the 'Cuda, so it ordinarily would not have an V68 code to signify a stripe-delete.

So could this be a quirk with the first day of production? </div></div>

Good question. I need to look at some original tags for non-striped 70 'Cuda's. I know there will be a blank under the &quot;V&quot; box on the broadcast sheet....no &quot;8&quot; </div></div>

Well.....since the F-tag was keyed to the Broadcast sheet......I would have to look at both. Either this is a factory boo-boo....or an incorrect re-pop tag. Unlike the Challenger (and other Dodge's) the stripe was not standard on a 'Cuda. A Challenger would have the delete code.

Thank you for the photos, Mryon! I've seen a number of images of the E-bodies but none laid them out one by one. I did buy the book that was produced, but I had a friend pick it up for me so eventually I will get it see it.

Where else but MCACN can you see two unrestored red 65 L78 Impalas under one roof? Probably not even in a Chevy dealer back in 65'.

Jake,
I have some personal experience with a '65 L-78. My best buddy in high school had one for a while. We changed the clutch in it outside on the ground with 6&quot; of snow and a blowing 20deg snowfall at 1am in his back yard. We ran the engine as long as possible for heat under the car while we were doing it. Of course, we were also fortified with our own antifreeze at the time. Everything turned out fine.
