    The Cuda is one of the best looking cars ever if you ask me!
    He´s got his work cut out for him though, depending on the goal of course, what engine was the original?
    Restoration or custom build?

    I just got the urge to get my hands dirty...

    Its a Gran Coupe w/ a 318 +A/C....for now.After he gets it on the road again,and the JEEP paid off....He is going to send it off to XV Motorsports for the SUPERCAR suspension and Modern Hemi crate engine upgrade.:mains:

    And the interior...carpet is new,dash is new,seats and panels are done, just needs to put his gauges and clean up that MESS of wires!lol he also needs a new T-handle shifter..

    Sounds like he has a pretty good handle on what he wants to accomplish.

    Make sure he saves ALL the factory parts, especially the A/C components.

    Is the motor original and numbers matching? If so, then he needs to save that as well. But I am sure he knows this already.

    Ya,Im pretty sure he knows....But,He isnt a PUREST ! And that isnt the original 318...He is the the 3rd owner(but,HIS FIRST CAR EVER)....He saved it (in 1984 i think-for $300 ! ) from becoming a full blown race car....It has been wrecked twice.....He has put new body panels on from YEAR ONE himself....He doesnt care if #'s match....or even how much its worth.lol........." IS'NT 4 SALE ".... should be on the Vanity PLATES ! lol He is gonna make it just like he wants it,I'm sure! MONEY ALLOWING.....

    Nice...I'm sure that thing will be awesome when he's done with it. Nothing like an old muscle car. :drool:
