'73 Cuda Kat

[303 Mopar]

After 7 years @CudaKat is starting the restoration of his second '73 Cuda.  Back in May of 2010 he picked up a '73 Cuda out of Texas.  He was looking for a Rallye Red 4 spd Cuda and found the ad off of Craigslist for $3200 with no engine or transmission.  It's 340 4 spd car with a 3.55 SG, FE5 with white interior and vinyl top.

Two weeks later, on Amazon (never thought of looking there), he picked up a totaled 2010 SRT Challenger from a drunk driving accident.  Everything was totaled but the 6.1 Hemi and NAG trans were still in great shape with only 3200 miles on it.

With the help of @Sleepychallenger we stripped everything off the Cuda, mounted the RMS k-member and test fitted the 6.1.  We also have the seats out of a Hyundai Tiburon.  I got the idea from @Brads70, found them in a junk yard in Colorado Springs to put in my '71 Challenger but sold it.  Then @Moparman82 bought them so they went to Nebraska, but he also sold his car before he put them in.  So @CudaKat bought them and they are now back in Colorado.

We picked up a rotisserie and pushed it a few doors down to the body shop this week.  The quarters were so bad it was not worth blasting them, they just cut them off.  All of this means a big order with @MoparDave!

The seller was www.restoration-us.com.  He was just searching on "Hemi" and the link in Amazon came up, who knew....
