Cuda SRT8 392 Gen.III Hemi

Pictures sure can make a car look better than actuality huh? Hope it was just a bit less than expected vs. an actual rip off. Cars are generally pretty rust free around here, so I'm surprised if your '68 was very rusty.

I love the journey you went on to come get it and drive it home. A real bonding period between you and the car. :) I hope the travel journey and modding journey will be a long lasting trip.

You'll have to tell us about the three stops by the lawmen. I slept many times in a '68 Formula S I had and got stopped in it many times too. Ahhh, the memories! lol


Sorry, no build thread yet.
I bought this 68 on E-bay from a guy in San Jose. Very first thing I ever bought on ebay. I'll be kind and just say that the ebay pictures made the car look better than it really was. It's creased, dented, rusted, etc. but I've never been sorry. Currently 318-4 w/ a 904. Future 5.7 and manual trans.
I was going out to Spring Fling anyway and I bought it about 1-2 weeks ahead of that. Flew out to LA and a fellow cuda owner (Max) met me at the show and drove me north to San Jose and I picked it up Sunday night. I keep on saying I should write a book about the whole experience but basically it was working on the car at Max's for 3-1/2 days to make it driveable, left Thursday afternoon before Good Friday, got pulled over by cops in 3 different states, made on the road repairs along the way involving the cooling and charging systems, drove through sleet and a little snow through the NV, UT, CO mountains on mostly bald 255/60 rear tires, slept in the car a couple nights at rest stops, (folding rear seat), and arrived home Monday night at 10 PM. 2800 miles and I'd do it again.
