Hello, my name is cosgig and I've got a problem!!! I've got the disease, Mopar Madness!!! As if I don't have enough projects to do, plus my regular life as a mild mannered reporter, I've gone off the deep end and found another 66 Cuda!! It was a craigslist find, and had lingered on there for over a month with a bad description and a high price tag! I couldn't help myself, I had to rescue it!! It's a Formula S 4 speed, original paint, red on red, a decent start to a really neat little car! It's got no motor or trans, but as luck would have it I have an extra commando motor from a 66 to throw at it! It also needs a floor pan, front and back, but the 4 speed bump is in good condition, and as luck would have it, I have a really nice complete floorpan to go with it too!! No build sheet, but it does have the fender tag!
It also had an early B body 8 3/4 installed....poorly I might add, so I yanked that out and righted the agregious wrong that had been done installing it!! With a little help and a great big thanks to our esteemed member "DuBob" Brent, it is now sitting back on all 4's! It had a hideous rear shackle system, and shock plates with not one, but 2 shock bolts welded on, just in case I guess!! It was stuck on the trailer until Brent offered up a sweet pair of shackles for the rear, and for free I might add!! I'd like to say that's the Christmas spirit, but I think it's more like the FABO spirit!!
So, I'm working on getting the interior straightened around, getting the grille and bumper back on, and then I'm going to offer it up for sale with all of the parts I have that it needs in hopes that someone needs a great little project!! That's all for now folks, thanks for letting me share this sickness with people who understand!!!
