not mine but rare
All original Hemi Cuda. This car has never been offered for sale in the last 38 years, it was special ordered in 1970 by a 21 year old soldier returning from Vietnam ,with his hard earned military pay and a loan from his father he took delivery of his dream car on April fools day 1970. In the hills of Kentucky he tore up the backroads, street racing the brand X cars and always leaving them behind. Well as fate would have it he soon got married and started having children, and the Hemi Cuda was no family car. In 1975 he wiped his beloved Hemi Cuda down with motor oil and I mean everywhere! And put into the family barn, Fast forward 30 years later around 2005 I learned of the car through a friend of a friend .After about a year of courting  he finally agreed to sell me the car. Now the time has come for this treasure to possibly find a new home. I have some incredible documentation on the car and pictures of the original family owners.The car does run and drive, I installed a new fuel tank, master cylinder and other items but have kept every original item that has been replaced including the exhaust system. I do not have a buy it now price but am open to discussing a number .This car is not on any registries . This is a very unique and rare opportunity to own one of the most original Hemi Cudas in existence .ALL  BODY AND DRIVE TRAIN NUMBERS MATCH. When I ask him about the trailer hitch he just smiled and replied "Son their wasn't a truck in Carter county that could pull my boat like this Hemi Cuda"

Same reason there's Dodge hub caps on it.....the car is 47 years old, who knows what been swapped out and changed over the years ?

Bigger question....is what kind of guy "orders" an automatic.... :haha: :haha: :haha:

:thinking:  The auto probably made it easier to pull your boat up the boat-ramp and out of the water. And since he did plan to use it for that purpose  :looney:  he had to go automatic since the "tow-package" (see trailer hitch) was not available with a stick!  :Thud:

Hey, it's a March build car! @dodgemania you should cross-post the ad and some of it's pics to the "Hemi E-body of the Week" thread!  :yes:  I'll get to it eventually, but since you were the first to notice and post it, I think you should do the honors.  :ohyeah:
