My POP'S car. (Really mine first). An original 69 M-Code 440 Cuda.
Built for C/SA back in 1982 or so.
History on car, if you want it.
I actually raced it twice at Dover at the end of 75'.
Unfortunately, as nice as that car was, my fathers heart wasn't really into
drag racing anymore. He let his partner Jerry D race it. My father
didn't like the haul up to Lebanon Valley, where they raced it a few times.
His heart was in hitting 7-irons 150 yards at James Baird Golf Course.
I owe you a dozen Canoli's. The good stuff from Arthur Avenue, not the
fake stuff from the Make-believe bakery's.
M68.. (Thanks for that post, brings back memories of when I drove that
440-Cuda (green originally) on the street. Nothing, and I mean nothing could touch that car.
I have photo's of it, which I will post or can send you.

Paul, you're too kind. These photos were taken by yours truly in the summer of 1988 or 1989 at Raceway Park. Your name "rung a bell" and I went digging through my collection of photos and my hunch was correct. I did not know the car was an original M-code 440 A-body back then though I knew the car had a big-block Mopar wedge in it. What caught my attention was the color of the car and 1970s-type paint scheme. The only other A-body I recall seeing in Stock Eliminator back in the 1980s was Ernest Topping's convertible 1968('69) Dodge Dart which I believe was an original M-code machine.
"I owe you a dozen Canoli's."
You know, it's been about six years since I've had some of those treats! In fact, it was the first ever time I sampled them. Canoli's with a cup or two of expresso. Momma mia!
"I have photo's of it, which I will post or can send you."
Yes, I'd like to see them. I don't have a scanner but first chance I get access to one I will scan those pix above and make sure you get full-size quality photos for your album.
Best regards,
