Seriously. Read it very carefully. Now tell me what it says.

Wow man.
I'm guessing Alan probably wasn't referring to you. I'm betting he was making a statement in general because several others will look at that link as well and a lot of those may be sensitive to seeing original cars cut up. Knowing Alan he was most likely just saying it as a joke.

Bill always loved your Cuda. It was always very clean and good running. Miss seeing it out.

1 of 1 Cuda 440-6 brown w brown interior. And Shaker car to boot. And I hope the car never gets restored.

Craig, do you happen to recall some of the options or deletes on this car? A friend of mine bought a similar car (new) from an Ontario, Canada dealer who just couldn't find a customer for the odd brown/brown 440-6 car. It was very basic; base instruments, auto, am radio, dog dish caps etc. It had black stripes with the argent shaker. It don't know the story of it's creation, but it was almost as if a would-be racer had ordered it and defaulted. My buddy seized the opportunity to get it at a blow-out price but wasn't a tuner and had no intention to go racing - the love affair was short lived.

Hi Dave,

The car I drive (can you say lucky?) has rallye dash, leather seats (currently out of car), fish gilled rocker mouldings (still on car) and.....funny you mention the black stripes. Last time I drove car, the owner and I stopped for a beer, and he said the tops of each fender were painted black?

I've never heard or seen this before. The guy has owned the car since 1974, and he said it was like that when he bought it.

And the car came with the overhead console, which I thought was only available on Barracuda Gran Coupes, not 'Cudas. ????

If I remember correctly, he said the original owner ran the car in C or D Pure Stock Automatic....low to mid 13's at 105 mph...

As for wheels, I'm pretty sure it had the Rallyes, I'd have to double check.

Maybe its 1 of 2 1970 440-6 pack brown on brown Cudas

P.S. Definitely brown, not copper or burnt orange. I think the paint code is T6, maybe T7 (burnt tan metallic)

And by the way Alan, sorry I was rude. I feel like an idiot, I embarrassed myself. So who wants to tub and cage a rare Mopar?
