The more I dig in my Cuda, the more I get the feeling I'm following 2 people that worked on this car. I'll call them Owner one (O1), and Owner two (O2).
O1 spent a lot of time on this car. Replaced the factory 318 2 bbl, 904, and 8 1/4 (from the tag and build sheets) rear with a '70 340, 727, and 8 3/4 rear. Beautiful paint. I think he (or she) got it with the front end smacked in, hence the '68 header panel and hood. I can tell the seats were redone professionally.
I think after O1 had done all this, the car sat for a long time. Pulled lots of mice nests out of the frame rails and torsion support. The seats still look like new underneath, so they didn't get there.
O2.. I want to kick in the groin area. Probably bought it to flip. Didn't give a crap about spraying (with a rattle can no doubt) to make a spot on the interior to make it look better, and getting the seats in the process. 'Who cares! can't see that!'. Shove bondo into the rotted inner fenders, rattle can it!
The back end of the car looks good from what I've seen so far.. just hope O2 didn't work his 'magic' there too.
