Default I finally purchased a 1970 'cuda

As a kid in high school in the early 70s, I had always wanted a 1970 cuda. Talked about it all the time. Found several at that time for cheap but insurance would've been a killer so I put that thought on the back burner sadly for way too long. Last month I made the leap & purchased this 1970 cuda. I was alerted of it by a friend & made a phone call. I was the 1st caller but within 2 hours the guy had 30 other calls. He decided he would let me have the first chance before talking to the others. We had several pleasant conversations before we both came to an agreement.

The car is a non-numbers car. It was originally black, 340 automatic. No fender tag & no build sheets. It was raced in the Phoenix area but I don't have all the details. It was painted over 10 years ago, maybe closer to 20 & has sat indoors all these years before the previous owner made arangements to purchase & finish it. He has built a 440-6 & changed it to a 4 speed. Tons of work has already been done & he will be completing it before he delivers it back to Arizona where it has been for most of it's life. The guy who told me about the car also made a road trip for me to look the car over. He reported to me that with the exception of the new floor tunnel, it still has all of it original floors & sheet metal. This was a big plus as these cars seem to have rust issues. The car is missing a few items & will never be 100% but I should have a good time with it. It's missing Road lamps, fish gill rocker moldings, & wheel lip moldings......Joe

Speaking from experience, that's an understatement! Glad you got one from out here where that would be far less likely. Congrats on the long overdue purchase
