Hello From Bloomington, Illinois

[smk]

Hello my fellow E Body enthusiasts! Great looking site you have here! This past Spring I finished a high end restoration on a 1970 Plymouth Cuda - B5 Blue/440 - 6 barrel/shaker hood/auto/super trac pack. A california car all its life until 2005. No rust ever! It has the original motor, rear end, and everything is date code correct except the center carb, and of course the trans. Have been sorting it out over the Summer. I just had the paint ceramic coated, and have now bagged it for the Winter. It will be for sale this Spring, as I will be ready to start another project. Perhaps I will list it on here when I put it up for sale.

Other MOPARS I have owned: a 1970 Challenger TA - Plum Crazy with pistol grip restored to a driver level. A 1969 GTX Torch Red - NOM/4 speed restored to concourse level. Here are some pics of the Cuda. I hope you all enjoy them...

   NICE!   Welcome to the site from Buffalo, NY.

Being that I travel from St Lou up I-55 to the Chicago area a couple of times per year, I feel it may be necessary for me to drop in, say "Hi!" and test that ceramic coating on the Cuda to see if it's drool-proof!      Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the site from Ontario,

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I have seen posts from some of you for years. Especially Cody. This site has been very helpful to me. My intent was to finish the Cuda in time to be points judged at this year's MOPAR Nats, and then sell it next Spring. Well, we all know what happened to our car shows this year. I will be selling it in the Spring, and the new owner will be able to take it to next year's MOPAR Nats. It is a #1 car, and belongs in someone's collection. It is probably the last one I will restore to this level, for some pretty obvious reasons (cost, and time being the biggest factors). I am not wealthy, and can only have one hobby car at a time. But that is one more car then a lot of people can afford, so I consider myself very fortunate.   

I look forward to conversing with you all over the years, and again thanks for the welcome. You guys rock!
