And I went back and enlarged your "purchase" pic in the post just below that one.
You are one waaaaaaaay lucky guy to have found it and brought it home.

Congrats!

We have been trying to locate this car. Brother built it in the 70's.

Sold it to a guy named Roger Green from Arkadelphia, Arkansas
(with the Missle stripes but without the decals and lettering) in 1977.

It had a 383 with a Cam Dynamics roller, motor plate, custom built
J.R. headers (partially fenderwell), an A833 4-speed, Dana 60,
leaf-link, cage, glass hood and bumpers.

If anybody thinks they know it's location or disposition, please send a
PM.

Sorry, don't know (don't remember) the VIN but it was originally a '70.

Mark,
I pulled the motor and trans today to start the rebuild. You never know until you check the numbers, and they all match! The car is not going to be a trailer queen but will be driven,

I honestly did not think I would find the car when I started looking 5 months ago. I had no idea how rare the car was or would be when I ordered and took delivery of it over 44 years ago. To think I will get to run the gears again in the future is priceless to me!

340 of course, 4 speed with a 3:91 Sure Grip. No power steering or brakes. I ordered it for the 1/4 mile.

I had a lot of fun with the car. I ran the Pure Stock classes, E/PS, at Thunder Valley, Marion, SD in the summer of 1969. Sure would like to have it now!

I am udating my post. I was fortunate to find my 69 340' Cuda and have purchased and brought it home! I made a 3300 round trip to New York to find it. I went on 4 A Bodies Only and posted some photos and, low and behold, a gentleman from New York posted and it turned out he had the car! It started out in SD, went to Sioux City, IA, Omaha, NE, CA, NY and now SD.

My A 56 69 340 with the #'s matching motor, 4 speed , 3:91 Sure Grip notch back 'Cuda is back home where she started out 44 years ago! As Phil Roberstson says, Happy! Happy! Happy!

Look's great !! Good to see it after 44 years, but you look older.Ha Ha
