At the end of last years racing season we were messing around with the idea of getting a stock eliminator car to race with to, also getting a camper and trailer., we were not expecting it to happen so quickly but we ended up selling my dads 1966 coronet sooner then expected (October). we were kind of but kind of not looking for a stocker, we wanted a car that was a stock eliminator car that we didn't have to build from scratch.




we ended up finding Glen hartzler's 1972 Cuda H/SA car. The car is a very consistent great running car - mechanically. we left the engine,trans,front suspension alone. we painted the engine, put on a real new electric water pump, new sheet metal valve covers and air cleaner. new fuel and brake lines and setup, new wheels and tires, new quarter panels, new upper shock mount, new quarter and trunk extensions, headers coated, all new wiring, new headlight bezel's, polished and new trim. new bumpers new pst strut rods, swing out bar on cage, painted cage silver, re~died and new int., New seats, new trunk lid, new Bulge hood ect and ect, on and on, paint,---- 2010 challenger b-5 blue with extra metallic

BEFORE PICS

car looks great since u changed it! but who is we?
 
Fantastic looking car!
Should be a fun car.

My Son would love to get a Stocker.
For now, the wallet only allows Bracket racing.

Be sure to update us on how fast it is.
 
What a nice car.
Stock eliminator is my favorite, a close second is Super Stock.
Any more specs on the car you're willing to reveal, or is it a secret? (Basic combo)
Can't wait to see more of this one.........
 
Wow nice job!! I see you have a small block, can you give us the specs on motor and tranny/ rear gears??? I like that color of blue too!!
 
Nice ride...I would rather look at cars like that more than 100 point restorations any time. Is your Dad going to pull double duty or pick and choose which car to run.
