Reading that @Cuda Cody has over 12 E Bodies on the go, got me thinking... :thinking:

Nevermind while I reflect on my past a little..... :lurking:
Sometimes I find these numbers staggering..... :takealook:

Is there any other shop/person that can match or top these numbers ? :dunno:

By the end of 2017..... :fingerscrossed:

I will have restored thirty-two (32) Ebodies... :rubeyes:

WOW!!!  You are the E-Body King!  Has anyone heard of someone that has done more E-Bodies then Alan?  We'll have to call him Little Hamtramck.   :clapping: 

Any chance you kept a photo of all the cars you have done?  I know what 12 cars look like, to do 32 of them is truly impressive!   :worship:  Do you have an all time favorite?

Well if you click on the links I posted above there are pictures of all 32.....what I don't have in digital form is pictures of all the parts cars I went through in the early years....I had (18) 1972-74 Cudas and (7) 1972-74 Challengers that I either parted or sold (flipped) in the late 80's early 90's...I have their pictures in photo albums (old school).

My favorite was my first 1971....A 318 convertible that I cloned into a 440+6 4spd Cuda loaded with options....I regret treating it like a "show car" and not driving it more then I did. :(

The "World Famous Barrelcuda" also holds a soft spot.... :inlove:

I applaud  :clapping:  anyone who can save any of these awesome cars, but when you save a car that most other people can not, that's something special.   :bravo:  The Barrelcuda will always be one of my all time favorites.

Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!


ec_co

truly amazing #s and shows an obvious love and passion for the e-body. if I had the coin, hands down you'd be doing a /6 Barracuda too (probably be the only professionally restored /6 e-body ever ... hahaha)
The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came .... now in 4spd flavor

Can't stop thinking about how many really cool E-Bodies you have put back on the road.  Truly a feat to be very proud of.  Beside Hamtramck and LA, I don't think any single place has put more E-Bodies on the road then you.   :clapping:  And I have not heard one bad word about the cars you restore.  The photos all look fantastic.   :bravo:

Still hoping for one day to get a car worthy of sending you to work your magic!

Hate to be picky but the numbers add up to 33 Alan. You're even more experienced than you thought.  :yes:

Thanks I made the correction . One 1971 Cuda is actually on my website twice so if you count the cars, there is 33, but in reality only 32 different ones....

The 0ne FJ6 1971 Cuda I restored as original with a 340 4spd, then the owner sold it and I got it back to put "Street Freak" front and rear suspension along with an upgrade to a 440 for the new owner......Now I hear the guy is taking out the four speed and putting in an automatic ?
