I love Cudas....they are sweet. What motor/combo is it running? And, what sort of ET's?

Looks like a beast

To me the Plymouth Cuda's & Dodge Challangers from 1970-73 were the nicest looking cars out of the Camaro's & Mustangs.
One with a 426 Hemi mtr is a big dollar car in the U.S.A. I read in hemmings that 1 sold for $100,000+US at a Palm Springs auction.
One thing they will hold their value or increase not like late model cars.
Thats a 1972 model in the pic.

Seaking of that i missed out on a 1967 440 six pack GTX about 5-6 years oga. It had just been shiped over and all it need was paint. All he wanted was what it cost him to bring it over $ 12,000. i sholdnt have hesatated(spel) on that one.

Six-pak in a '67? Non-standard I'd assume? I thought six-paks showed up in '69 model year? I'm a C-body mopar owner ('70 Plymouth Fury convertible) .. there was a *VERY* limited number of 440-6s in the '70 Fury GT coupes. I'd love an E-body (or even nice A-body) .. but for the money I'll probably be sticking with my AMC Javelin. Good luck with the Cuda!!

Another neat looking car the AMX & AMC Javelin's ex the hornets of 70-72 the rest of AMC cars were ordinary in looks.

Chryslers were such tough cars in the 60's & 70's. I read about making the movie bullitt that the Dodge Charger out performed the 68 Mustang that Steve McQeen drove in the tests on the movie set.
