Crazy what they started with

cuda hunter · February 17, 2024, 07:33:51 PM

Started as an FE5 U code D21 bs 70.
2 to 3 week build.
I like the spare tire wrapper.
Wrap, wrap and more wrap.
The color scheme is pretty cool and that yellow line grill really works well.
Cool custom!
I wonder what the gto looks like if he spent 3 years creating it.

Hopefully it will make it to Carlisle this year. It will definitely be interesting to see in person.

Wow a real cuda and look at it now . A hamburger with the lot .They have done a great job in a short time.

That isn't a U code, it's a V code BS23V0B157407. What a shame to do that to such a rare and magnificently restored Cuda.

cuda hunter · February 23, 2024, 05:23:45 PM

It's a V code?
I was going off of what they had said in the video.
Do you know where to find a picture of the fender tag?
I was also surprised at the shape of the car they modified.
miccyd's has some cash.

On the bright side about what they have done, it's all wrapped so it would probably be removable with beautiful paint underneath.
seats would need reupholstered and switch out a few of the other items. They didn't go Too far with the customization.

You'd hope they saved the seat covers when they removed them along with the smaller stuff like grille nameplate, engine callouts, etc.

All the photos of the original car including the fender tag and VIN ID tag are shown here.

It all started when someone pointed out the backwards 440 #'s on the hockey sticks.......

The gap between the passenger door and front fender is not good either. Hopefully after its run as the Hamburgler getaway car, it will be put back to original even better than before.
I wonder what McDonald's long term plans are for the car? McDonald's built a replica of the original McDonald's that Ray Croc built on the site of the original store, in the next town over from me, and they had a half dozen 1955 model year cars that would be displayed in the lot in front of the restaurant.
Sadly they closed this museum and demolished it 6 or 7 years ago, and those cars got sold at a Mecum auction.

Wow, I didn't even notice that until reading your comment. Obviously, I'm not as familiar with Cudas as I am Challengers.

Although, I'm guessing that could easily be corrected.

Yeah, that gap was a bit excessive. I seriously considered buying this Cuda but wasn't sure how much it would have cost to correct that gap and how much time it would take to get it into a good shop.

I tried to edit and enlarge for a better read, downloading to CPU may even help more.
