Well I purchased a 70 340 numbers matching Cuda, very clean car interior looks very nice, in fact car is in very very nice shape.
Not Barrett J standards if you know what I mean, but a great car to drive and have fun in, take to car shows etc. It is clean but not crazy clean just a great clean car with good paint, about perfect chrome trim etc.
Has a shaker hood, driving lights etc. AC, PS, PB and a 727 auto with a 3.55 posi 8 3/4 rear. Rallye red car, 340 hockey strips, Magnum 500 wheels, with vinyl top that is new as well. Man I have wanted this car since I was a young teen, now I am almost 50 and I finally have her in my garage. I am so stoked! :)
It took 7 weeks to get it here from just south of Kansas City to Cody WY.
It has been the longest 7 weeks of my life :cool:
When you are off the beaten path and the closest interstate is over 100 miles away it not only cost a prett penny, but is hard to get someone to take the trip, then you have weather etc to account for.
Picked up and met the driver in our local Dodge dealer parking lot at 9:30 PM, HUGE transport truck with a lot of nice cars on her and it could not make it down our street, so I had him go to the dealer with all the lights etc. Worked out great! But man it is cold, mid 20s and wind howling 30-40+ gust out of the North, but man was I happy to get her at last and drove her home 3 miles for my 1st drive in her. Well 5 weeks ago to put it in perspective it was -36 F with -60 wind chill but hey I would have got her in -50 could care less, but then it most likely would not have started.
Little 340 is snappy and car sure is clean. Was in storage in Florida for 20+ years, I am 3rd owner so that is good for a 40 year old car right.
It is suppose to snow etc tonight and Sunday, but once I get her cleaned up again I will post some pics of the car.
1st plans are some good shocks, rear sway bar and inspect all the brakes etc.. Put a good tune on her etc. Inside is like mint, really needs little work except would like to freshen up the suspension. Stops good, does not pull , lean etc. Drives very nice as one would expect from a 70 340 Cuda.
Man I am in LOVE :)
