Hi all .  New here to ebodies.org . Long time car enthusiast of all types of cars , especially american muscle cars .
Been around cars my whole life and was a mechanic right out of school and then ran/owned my own auto repair shop for many years . Now working at home restoring a bunch of old cars i,ve acquired over the years .  Wasn't looking for another project but a couple friends heard about this Cuda for sale and I still thought i cant buy another project UNTILL  they told me it was a 440-6 car . Then i dropped my tools and LETS GO .
Long story short i bought the car and am now the VERY EXCITED owner of my first e body a 1970 Cuda 440-6 car .
This is the very first picture i seen of it .

Well, if you're going to restore an E Body, you might as well start with a six pack Cuda .....

Thanks guys for the warm welcome .
I wasn't sure if I should (spill the beans ) on the details about this car under the  welcome thread or start a restoration thread . Any way here's a few specifics .
So i just bought this car ( theres quite a story behind that ) from a lady that had this car sitting in her garage for over 30 years . Its a 1970 Cuda 440-6 car with a 4 speed and the Dana 60 rear end . I wouldn't say its highly optioned but the options it does have are pretty cool .
One of the best parts about the car is and the reason i bought it is its numbers matching .
the engine is currently out as the guy was gonna have it rebuilt . but i did check the block over and the numbers match .
I'm pretty new to the Mopar stuff so i,m gonna have a lot of questions and hoping to get some insight on what direction i should go with this car .
so here's some photos and if i need to move this to a different thread I can .

Good teaser! 

A few pics in the welcome thread aren't gonna hurt. 

Can't wait to follow your restoration thread.

Thanks cudamadd .
Heres one of my photos that i really like as we were getting the car loaded . I agree , those big ole N50s look pretty mean back there .
