Glad I had the opportunity in the mid 80s to own a 70 barracuda and a 68 charger SE all power options A/C matching # car. Power window motors are the same in Newports,fury, ect . rather had roll up Windows 383 magnum torque flight 323 gear, with 4:88"s you had first first and first for gears 4:10"s I had in there were a little low for the street , so 3:55" lived in the chunk, 742, with a big duration cam with an automatic or vacuum pressure goes way down so to open the headlights usually had a rev it up in neutral unless you put a milder cam in it that's what's cool about bump stick cars monster cams, cars were cheap back in the '80s you can pick up a nice ride for about 5 Grand Camaro Chevelle Mopar Fords, the 70 cuda was actually a barracuda on the lower end spectrum with a weird combination three on the floor clutch car 3 speed with a straight 6 cylinder original, which are sold to buy the charger which was an actual gunmetal metallic gray but somebody rotisseried it in the bright white with the white interior and a red stripe painted no decal with white metal flake in the red had I kept the car it would have went to a B5 blue always loved that blue anodized color with the white interior and a white stripe and would have loved to put one of those 572 cubic inch hemis in there with the built 383 with the rectangular Port heads a little of this and a little of that it was hard to keep those torque flights together until I finally went with cheetah manual shift valve body and TCI 2500 stall speed solid motor mounts but I have to admit the manual shift valve body for a daily driver on the street was a little bit drastic since it felt like the dash was going to come out into your lap every time you shifted but my favorite as well as yours was the 71 cuda hardtop or convertible I know the convertibles are worth more but the 71 just was so aggressive with the front grill the gills and the fenders the louvers the go wing and the billboards made an ultimate package and of course with a big block hemi and a shaker hood
I have a aar , my grill is gray. I know that some time in its life ther was front end damage. Do you know for sure if all aar Cuda’s had black grills. Thank you for your help.
Thanks! While I haven't been the most active on E-bodies.org, I've been on there for quite some time. Before that I was heavily active on cuda-challenger.com
Thank you! There is so much information on this, it was a challenge trying to determine what made the cut and what didn't. What didn't will be in future videos.
Great video sir. Would you be able to read my fender tag? I have a 74 Challenger R/T clone. Would love to know what it was originally. Thanks in advance.
