1971 340 4sp Shaker hood, Cuda convertible. GF3 Amber Sherwood Metallic exterior, white interior.

It's the only 340 4sp convertible that I know of with a Shaker hood.
One sold this year for $352,000 with an added on Shaker hood.


I assure you, it's not the only 340 convert with a shaker.
 The sherwood green convert (your old?) got color changed to curious yellow and is on youtube.  With more incorrect information as to numbers.

Mr Cuda

I looked for all of you.
The youtube is a different sherwood green 340-4 n96 convert.
So thats 2 green , plus the others.

The 1971 that I owned had a color change to silver when I bought it.
Out of 30 340 4sp made, I was hoping that some others were Shakers.
Now that I found this built sheet, maybe the Shaker was added in mid 1970's with the color change ???
That's my 1971 Hemi Charger next to it in my driveway.IMG_0339.jpgIMG_0342.jpg

This is the 1971 Hemi Cuda that I sold to Roy Crownover.
I had put the AAR spoiler & the hockey stick decal on it.IMG_0332.jpgIMG_0344.jpg

  I'm sure Ola has a list.
 I wish he would post some retracted data. ( no names ) but at least color combos

I picked up my new 1974 360 4sp Cuda in April 1974.
I had ordered it late 1973 when I heard that they were going to stop making them.
Photos show it with Hemi drivetrain & Shaker from my 1970 Hemi Cuda.
I did switch those bumpers too before unloading the Hemi Cuda body as those 1974 bumpers hurt. LOL
So, After picking up my new $3,600 1974 Cuda in April 1974, I bought a 1970 HEMI Cuda for $1,995 in June 1974.
I was only 20 years old when I did this while working a $5 an hour job. LOL
I was going out for my 21st birthday in the  picture with that beautiful young lady.
That's an Edelbrock 'Rat-Roaster' intake that I took off of a 1970 Hemi Challenger that I bought in the mid 1970's.
I sold the Black Hemi Challenger to Harold Delastine in McDonald PA.
You can see the 1970 Hemi Cuda next to my 1974 Cuda in the driveway, & at the time that this picture was taken, the drivetrains were switched. IMG_0337.jpgIMG_0335.jpgIMG_0333.jpgIMG_0343.jpg
I later switched to an AAR hood as it was lighter, & the Shaker was a pain to remove when working on the Hemi. I was Fast & Furious 40 years before the movie. LOL

It's interesting that the registration card shows a B523 instead of the correct BS23, somebody at the DMV fat fingered it
Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came

It was that way from PA for the 10 years that I owned it. LOL
