Neat car - thought this might have been Dave's car?

Dave, you have your auction set that it won’t accept bids from outside the US.

[A12pilot]

Hmmm.... not sure why? Just tried to change it but it won't let me it seems. Keeps selecting it to default to US only. I'll try the desktop version. This mobile version seems to be finicky.

Thanks for the heads up! Let me know if it changes.

Seeing it listed for sale makes me sad. :-(

I wanted to joyfully follow your restoration and then buy it from you.

Nice honest ad!

[A12pilot]

Thanks, guys! It's a tough decision and I'm getting flak from all directions worse than a B-17 over the Ballbearing plant in Heidelberg!!!:blush:

Ugh.......:confused2::confused2::confused2:

Cheers

Welp, rest easy Steve-O and all the others that sent me emails saying...."You'll be sooooorrrrryyyyyyy."

And yes, you's guys are right. I thought about this today: How will I feel about this car leaving and seeing it on someone else's trailer pulling out of my driveway? The answer was "Sick to my stomach".:(

So with that, off comes the auction and Crusty stays with me. Matter of fact, tomorrow I'll order the rest of the engine parts, brake and fuel lines, just to get her back on the road.

Ah the power of Yenko.net. Scary if you think about it! :laugh::biggthumpup:

Cheers
Dave

PS: I had Steve S pull the Cuda threads, so I'll start another shortly.

[scuncio]

Yeah man!!!

[njsteve]

Aint peer pressure great?

Now I have to start saving my money up for when you finish. (Throw an elastomeric front bumper on for me, will ya?)

Didn't you have a thread started on this car? I can't seem to find it.

The old threads appear to be in limbo but pics still alive on Google?:hmmm:
Is MCACN 2020 back on as this post below, love Steve's prediction too!

Unless you auction that one off before the show, you rat b$%#@^d!!! (yeah, of course I'm jealous as hell - I love Plum Crazy Cudas but have never had the chance to own one) :-)

Right on!! So glad to hear you are not punting this project Dave! I want to follow along as others, and BS about it over beers and BBQ in Charlotte!

[njsteve]

Where's the old photos, so I can start pining away...

I do still have the 1970 vintage Mopar tach for it, and the real wood pistol grips just waiting in the basement. I kept those from the Charger when it went to auction years ago. Just waiting to be installed on a purple car.

[A12pilot]

You guys ROCK! :headbang: Oh, I had Big Steve pull the threads for respect to the future new owner, but fear not! He'll reinstate them shortly!!:biggthumpup::smile:

And the plan of action here is to get Crusty running and driving, then bring that to the Barn Finds next year (or perhaps some other special MCACN 70s Shaker Setup:hmmm::tongue:) for all to enjoy. Meanwhile, start the restoration on Crunchy, the B5/White V-Code 4spd Cuda, and bring that to MCACN 2021. Follow that up with a return of Crusty back in 2022 restored! How's that for a Complete Cudii Crusade?!?:headbang: You are sure to be entertained for years, perhaps decades!

Just pulled the engine and trans from Crusty. I'll update the thread when it's reinstated, so don't you worry Steve-O.... pics a plenty coming!

Nope... no auction before you all see it. I promise!!! Now, time to call Brewer's for some trans parts, Accurate for an exhaust, and several others for brakes, lines, and Rusty for tires at MCACN! It's on!!

Cheers:beers:

Dave, I sent ya a PM.

I have many of my restoration photo albums from all my old cuda restorations from the 1980's. You are welcome to any reference photos you need. I took a ton of pre-restoration photos on the cars prior to dissection(s).
