It's originaly b5 blue with white top and white interior and billboard. I've got previous owner history on it and the car was hit in the front back in the early 80's. They installed real nice 71 barracuda fenders on it from a 71 barracuda and also took the grill out of that same car. The car did end up having the original motor which was a bonus. No fender tag at this time but I contacted the body shop that did the work on the car and there going to dig through some parts boxes to see if they can turn something up. I've already ordered up a new gas tank and sending unit and am going to try and fire it up over the long weekend. There's a crazy long story behind this car and I can hardly believe we've actually got a second chance to get it. Short version is my brother had the chance to buy this car for $7500 back in 95 and after many years of seaching I finally found it and bought it. 6929661-103_9482.JPG (801 downloads)

The white interior was in sad shape so he took the seats out the gran coupe which was in better shape. He liked the woodgrain face better so he took that off as well. The grill and fenders came off of that car as well. I wasnt sure what the seats came out of at first but a guy on here showed me they came out of a 71 barracuda gran coupe. The previous owner may still have the original seats

I had three 71 Gran Coupes,two had the leather,which were sweet looking seats,one had vynal with cloth inserts. I didn't know there were any vynal seats offered in the Gran Coupes.

I'm just going to get it running and detail the engine bay up, add new exhaust, tank, lines, seat covers, put the white billboard decal back on it. The cool thing now is I'll have two white billboard cars. Cant really proove the billboard thing on this ragtop except from previous owner or maybe I'll get lucky and find a buildsheet in the original seats if the previous owner can turn them up.

Still want to add a spoiler and road lamps but I'll pick those up later on down the road when I can afford them. I'll be adding my new poly glas tires to the rallies this weekend and adding a nice set of original 71 centers and trim rings. I should be able to have this looking alot better really quick. 6932377-DSCN4076.JPG (368 downloads)

He bought them for the Satellite Rag. He will be going with F's all around. Send him a PM is anyone is interest in some new L-60's.

But it is much easier driving my clone around and just walking in the garage to see the Cuda on the shelf. Ok, Mark. I will go out and get a photo. Tetanus shot required for this next photo. Came out of the same yard the Sassy Cuda came from. 1971 Challenger Ragtop. Butterscotch 318 car. Or atleast it was. Believe it or not the convertible structural parts are very nice.

Reshot the rear tail panel, and cleaned up and polished the tail lights. Had a brand new bumper kicking around and threw that on it. Took the rear end out of it to take it down to be sand blasted and cleaned up. I'll repaint it up correct and throw it back in. Also picked up a new gas tank, shocks and lines. I'll clean the under side of the car up now while every thing is off it. Also ordered a new tti exhaust for it. I'll be ready for next summer, cant wait. 6940046-DSCN4232.JPG (262 downloads)

This one is 100% complete and has its original drivetrain. 440, 4 speed, dana 60. I can`t wait to dive into this one someday. Nobody gets in to see the wizard! Ain`t no way! Ain`t no how!

badblack68 master B Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,044 At a gas station near you	Thanks. I actually bought two of them, both 4 speed dana cars. The other one is outside. Rick and I took our trucks and trailers to get them. It was a fun day. The other one is rough but... It has a locked up 383, original 18 spline 4 speed and dana 60. It`s black right now but was originally daffodil yellow. I`ve got the 67 Plymouth B body sickness as bad as you have the E body sickness. I now have 3 67 GTX`s... I`d be in the same boat even of my garage was bigger. Bigger garage = more cars/parts. I`m hoping to be able to clean the 10,000 nos parts out of my garage over the winter so that I can at least put the EE1 blue GTX in there and get it out of my enclosed trailer. Totally a-d-d right now... Nobody gets in to see the wizard! Ain`t no way! Ain`t no how!

I'll add a spoiler and road lamps later on. I'm also going to install a new white top as mine now looks really dirty white compared to the new billboard stripe(lol).

The crappy thing is that I have to wait till the 22nd of this month when he comes back up to his mothers house where the seat is at, which is right behind our house. He's also got a bunch of other parts left over from doing the cuda but the rear seat is pretty much the only thing that he has that originaly came out of my car. What a Christmas present that would be to find the broadcast sheet in it still(lol). I also asked him about where my original tranny went and he told me that the tranny that's in it is the one that was in it when he bought it in 1980. So there probably a fat chance that I'll ever find the original tranny. Another weird thing I found out was the car was painted about a half mile from where I work. It is a little rinky dink car sales lot. I'll drive my car down to his shop this summer and I bet he'll be quite surprised to see it again still wearing the old painted he sprayed on it back in the early 80's.

I gave it a good cleaning, new billboard stripe, chin spoilers, rocker molding, wheel lip molding, hood pins, newer bumpers, new carpet, gas tank and sending unit. Now I need to install new tti exhaust, and detail the ralleys up and install my new F60 polyglas tires. I've also got to install new white legendary seat covers. In a couple of weeks I'll be able to pick up my original back seat for it, I can hardly wait to see if my build sheet is in it.

Got a chance to drive my dads A12 yesterday. Drove them over to the local truck stop. The A12 is a beast. Ryan dug out his cuda as well and also liked the cold air..

He also gave me the original front white door panels and the plastic shift pattern bezel that was missing off of the pistol grip(lol). He never fround the original front seats so I'm hoping those will turn up some day.

I always thought the bottoms were close enough to fit. I will take a look at the one I have & it might just be the 71 - up style. Hopefully it will work out. Update: I actually have the right one. Glad I looked before I bought another one.Correct frame wrong cover...

I've got the correct centers on the back ralleys and have the correct ones for the front as well but just havent put them on yet. I will need to pick up a set of correct trim rings for it if I decide to go with the ralleys. I think it originally came with ralleys. 6998027-DSCN4235.JPG (236 downloads)

I've got the correct centers on the back ralleys and have the correct ones for the front as well but just havent put them on yet. I will need to pick up a set of correct trim rings for it if I decide to go with the ralleys. I think it originally came with ralleys. Body colored steel wheels!

The brackets were riveted in. I was very happy to see how solid the original floors were. I've decided to keep it as correct as I can and kept the console out of it. 7009441-DSCN4455.JPG (221 downloads) Last edited by 79machocharger; 01/10/12 11:20 AM.

The clutch was spent as well and I ordered a new one. New green bearing for the rear axles and the gears will be looked over as well as I have a small vibration coming from my rear end. New front end kit will be installed as well. The bushings were all spent on it. Will have some more pics coming soon. I held off on repainting the engine bay as I'll do that when I do the whole car over down the road.
