Hi

Having recently sold my 1973 Cuda which now resides in Germany I was lucky enough to find this car on Ebay jsut at the right time - and only 30 miles away!

After some frantic and nervous bidding I was lucky enough to be the winner and collected her about 10 days ago

So far I am very pleased- Its a 1970 RT and although the fender tag is missing I am 99% sure it is a genuine RT as 2 of the other body stampings are correct and the huge folder of history etc supports everything. - It was subject to a nut & bolt retso about 6 years ago and is still in very good shape- Originally a 383 car it now runs a rebuilt 1970 440 block. Its also a factory 4 speed car whch makes for an interesting drive and is quite hard work in the clutch dept- all great fun tho

Heres some pics and I am looking foward to some decent weather this year so I can get her out and about to some of the events!

Hey Mark, I think it looks good in that colour what ever it's number is, do you know if your car is a 69 or 70..........

It's definitely a '70 model Ade.

The '69 version didn't look as sharp. :lol:

I think what Ade actually means Mark is what is the built date of the car?

Hey Mark, was talking to my mate from northampton it was his mate who imported your car, as I had never seen it I did not realise it was the same car...................
