    Got any good tips for finding this car?

    Great news on the title searches. In MD you used to be able to get the name and address of the last titled owner. Then the Privacy of information act passed and they quit doing it. Maybe they are doing it again. I gave my wife's uncle my 58 English Ford in the early 80's. Then he gave it back to...

    I made it by Bucky's today, it was a blast to see a guy with Hemi drag cars all around him get excited about my 383 car. he said he had seen a few 383 fast backs, but never a convertible. I told him my all time favorite Mopar was a 65 Coronet. He said wanna see my sons car? He took us over to...

    Back again from the UK

    My 68 Formula S has all numbers stamped. It was born on Febuary 21st 1968. When I got my engine back from the machine shop I was looking at the number upside down with a flash light in a tight garage squeezed between my wife's car, and wrote some of the numbers out of order. Went back in and...

    I might have to bring my F150, the Cuda won't be ready. I'm trying to talk my uncle out of his first car. He bought it brand new and still has it. It was a Mopar for a few years, when Chrysler bought out AMC. It's a Red 390, 4 speed AMX, can I bring it?

    Hello from Northfield MN, from a Minnesota Mopar girl!

    Yes! The distributor is in the back, put it in the front, on the left looking at it. Easier to do tune ups. LOL.

    Hi! Newbie here...

    Looks straight with little rust. My first Mopar was a Dart GT, 273, 4 speed. If you get real ambitious you can turn it into a two door GT. About 30 years ago, good donor cars for drag racers were drying up. Some one found out that you could find a two door wreck with a solid door post and cut...

    I never dreamt it would reach a point of fame. Most forums have a readers rides section. I’ve posted it on tractor, gun, arborist, and boat forums, so I guess it got around.

    Thanks, that’s the only pic I have. I bought the car from a guy in VA, and it came out of Arizona. The White Dart GT above got totaled. A guy in a Dodge van crossed the center line and hit me head on. The Red Cuda had a blown automatic in it. I took the floor pan for the 4 speed out of the Dart...

    Thanks, glad I stopped by, never seen so many drop top fish before, plus so many other cool Mopars. NJ is driving distance. A guy called about my Fury III convert and asked if it would make it to NJ? Of course, it was a 60,000 mile survivor. He asked if he could use my tags and mail them back...

    Thanks, I’ve Had more with no pics. People talk about how lucky the folks that grew up in the 60’s were when it comes to muscle cars. But the really lucky ones were in my graduating class of 74. The gas embargo hit and epa killed the muscle cars from the factories. All of us young guns got those...

    Yes it is. The pics are going to Bucky Hess on Tuesday. Do a search for some of his restorations and his Kandy Kuda. He still races Hemi Cuda's. He's restored some famous 60's and 70's Mopar drag cars.

    68, 383 S 4 speed Cuda Convertible

    I saw one sell/sort of, on eBay at least ten years ago. It was basically all original with a very nice repaint, in the 80's, in the proper color. Bidding went to $68,000 and said reserve not met. But then I saw it on another forum as just being bought, so I think they did a side deal. I saw...

    Yeah, that is a sweet S. I have something I'd like to send back over there. I got it with 14,000 original miles on it, put a total of 50+, then parked it because of trans problems. Let me know if you want to trade?

    First time newbie

    I have a numbers matching Formula S 383, 4 speed, convertible. Discs were an option. Power discs NO. But, I never had a problem stopping it with drums. Since mine is an all original, relatively rare car, I won't switch over. But, if I were building a big block car I would consider it, you don't...

    WOW, they are coming out of the wood work. I met a guy at Carlyle that had a black with white top and interior, he's from Baltimore, and I saw a blue one at Ocean City, MD years ago. When I put mine on Govier's registry it was the 5th built of 8 known. I've since seen that 4 more have been...

    68, 383 S 4 speed Cuda Convertible

    Well, it's been a long time since I stopped by. I forgot my old password, changed emails several times, and my old handle wasn't recognized, so I'm back as Rarefish383, again, or Joe. I bought my car in 1999 from the original owner, drove it for 2 years, then took it apart, had it media blasted...
