I bought it in 95....I found it locally and hemi-less. I installed a 472 crate motor in it. If you remember, I saw you at one of the Cops and Rodders shows in North Brunswick, I was showing my Hemi coronet convertible. I asked you about Hemi parts or a hemi trans... they were for that car.

when I was a kid, my dad worked for a dodge dealer and was a Chrysler instructor. He restored mustangs as a hobby. I grew up around muscle mopars, everyone in my family drove something with a big block or a hemi. But, our quality time together was spent in the garage working on mustangs. Over the years I have had quite a few of both.

I am not Bill Weisman. however, I did see his car on a musclecar video and loved the color combo. So when I built my car I painted it white. My car was an original 440 4 speed car and that's how I restored it, about 3 years later I installed a hemi. I drove it that way for another 4 years and then sold it on Ebay to a guy in Wisconsin.

It's cool to see Gordy's car again. He still tells me stories about it.

Was the 71 Cuda auto or 4 speed?
Do you have any details such as fender tag information?

Cool Mopars! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Here's one of my Old Mopars...383/A833 V-Gate/4:30-S/S springs/ built according to &quot;The Book&quot; ...this car was a BRUTE.

Very nice. Didn't know you're into the Mopars. Cool looking ride!

Yep...Was my first love for going REAL fast. I'll have to dig up pic of my 78 Monza. It had a 440/727 combo in it. I cut the cowl and fire wall out of it to make it fit......It would pull the wheels. I'm lucky not to have died in that contraption... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Yep, a real RB 440....It was a blast, ultra cheap, and fun to beat the snot out of. This car had 13&quot; ET slicks, and a 2.73 Limited Slip rear...The 440 was a low HP out of a 70's Gran Fury...Loads of torque. The frame was tied, a cheap cage ..and by the grace of GOD passed tech at Norwalk and Dragway 42.....I eventually blew the trans and rear in one shot at NRP. Here's a couple of pics...Most of what I have left is on VHS....RIP

LOL, yeah, I'd guess. What did it run?

13.00's while sliding down the track. As soon as you left the pad, it began to lose traction. By about 660' it was all done. The 440 had a whopping 140 hp net, the car was light, very light. Everything was stripped ( remember Caddy Hack) big motor, no weight. We cut on that car till it would smoke the tires with the 4 banger. Remove, cut a lot more and add 440. I think in the end it had 300lbs of ballast back in the trunk. Cheap fun.

4 speed. It was a true BS23R1B car. It is now in a private collection in Tennessee.

Was the Cuda an early enough car it could have had the 70 wing from the factory?
Very nice, FE5 black top. What other options? 4.10?

That wing was on the car when I bought it, but I don't think it was the original one. It was a super track pack car with a 4.10 dana. most of the options are visible: billboards, rallye wheels, painted bumpers and so on. What you can't see is the 4 speed, rallye gauges, am/fm, rear defroster, and headlight delay.

I thought I was the only crazy who stuffed a performance MOPAR drivetrain where it doesn't belong! Way to go with the Monza! Nice fleet of Mopars, too. BTW, the car I am referencing myself to was a 1959 Austin Healey 100/6. I stuffed a 340/833 into it. No tag, no title, no insurance, virtually no brakes. Wow factor was wonderful, however! This was back in the mid 80s...

Wish I remembered how to attach an image...maybe this will work.
