I recently sold my black 68 Fastback (crazy I know) and began the hunt for a 68-70 Dodge Charger. There are way too many crazy priced pieces of junk out there! I mean $80k for a cobbled up Charger isn't what I'd call a deal. Barrett Jackson and Mecum have way over inflated car prices IMO. I have had my eye on this 70 Cuda for a few months and finally drove 3 hours away to see it (prepared to buy it) I not only bought the car I bought the 24' enclosed trailer to haul it home. This car is stunning especially in the sunlight. Sounds AMAZING and is as straight as an arrow. A SERIOUS UPGRADE from my 68. Can't wait for car shows and cruise season.

2023 Sure Trac Pro series 24' tandem axle with a 3,500 lb winch Absolutely made hauling the car home safe and secure. Now I gotta personalize it too LOL

Have a friend that has one similar to yours. Great looking car. Will we see you at " Carlisle " ?
 
Are you changing that paint?
That swoop reminds me of a Nike shoe.
Last minute idea from the body shop painter..."Hey Boss, how bout I paint a neat swoop RIGHT HERE?"
Decent paint job and some nice 15" Rallyes or Magnums with BF Goodriches and this thing would R U L E . :thumbsup:

What makes it a serious upgrade from your 68? I thought your 68 was one of the nicer cars on the forum.
 
What's not to love congratulations. I had a 71 you know the one that got away, a one owner car before I bought it. There's a reason people pay so much for those cars they just check all the boxes.
 
I wasn't totally crazy about the swoosh either. But the car is so freakin nice in person, out in the sunlight it's just AMAZING!! The detail they put into building and painting the car set's it apart. Pictures really don't do it justice. A serious upgrade?? Well for one it's an E-body Sorry guys A-bodies are cool BUT they just don't compare to an E-body (jmo) In my opinion the only thing cooler than a 70 Cuda is a 71 Cuda.

I remember seeing that car on the internet Ron. Nice score and the trailer as well. Sometimes you just need a change od pace. Your 68 was a fine-looking ride as well. Nice trailer win win
 
My first E-body was this 71 Barracuda 6 cyl I PAID $200 for in 1983. The hood was off my deceased Aunts AAR Cuda
