  & we're glad to have you here!

Awesome car!!!  I noticed your bitchin' project has WA State plates... what city did you find her in, @ec_co ?

[Cuda Cody]

YA, where did you sneak that out of @ec_co ?  I travel all over to find cars and you find one in my back yard?   

[ec_co]

LOL. I grew up just north of Spokane in Greenbluff (small orchard community) and it was my dads Barracuda. he bought it in '73 when training over in Naselle/WA. the story he told me was that he could have bought anything and passed on a lot of cool goodies, but specifically wanted the slant 6 and searched high and low for a year until he found this one. I guess the family had a lot of slant powered Mopars and he wanted to stick with em. I moved out of the PNW @ 8 years ago, spent a ton of time between Spokane - Seattle - Bremerton - Centralia - Portland (most time in Spokane and Portland though .... @ 30+ years). of my family is up that way, I'm the oddball

it was hidden in the back 40    when growing up we used to get visitors a couple times a year wanting to buy it, then the trees grew to tall to see it and no more visitors. I'm truly surprised at how little rust/damage there was, it was sitting out in the open between some tall tamarack trees for 25 years before I rescued it

That's really neat that you now have the Cuda.   And a great story about it's history.      We grew up in the Seattle area and now we're down near Portland.  Open door if you ever get up this way!  Would be cool to meet you.

Welcome

Welcome to the new site!  And I love the story on your car and that you are keeping it a /6.

Welcome to the new site!  And I love the story on your car and that you are keeping it a /6.   

thanks D! only keeping it a /6 because (a) its all original still and not many left and (b) I promised my dad I would restore it as the /6 it was born with

however ..... you have no idea how much I admire and want your '70 AAR clone, it is a beautiful car and exactly what I would want to do with mine 100% (B5 AAR with a modern Hemi) if the above wasn't a block (maybe one day I'll do it though, I can always take it back to stock)
