Referring to 1970 Cuda owners. I know the numbers are low, but I'm hoping to find some kin! There were 334 four speeds and 618 autos produced. Anyone? From what I remember, for $90. extra, you could get the six barrel option. Most opted for this. In 1971 the single 4 bbl. 440 wasn't even offered! End of today's Mopar lesson kiddies.

Had one up to a few years ago, parted it for the dana for my now sold V code. Was in decent shape and I never knew the low numbers or I might not of. Still got the 4 speed from it... offered a guy on here the rest of the parts from the car but never heard nothing so between the dumpster and metal recycle center its history.
Friend has a B5 U code auto car.

A buddy has a 70 U Code Cuda, it was a factory F8 green automatic car, but it's been a painted white race car for years. It literally still has the ladder link rear suspension under the back of it, vintage stuff.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I have this U-code, custom painted in 1971. I chased it from 1987 until being able to purchase it in 2016 from the original owner's family.

I went to high school in WV with a guy who had one with a shaker and 4 speed. I bought my first road runner from him and he put the money toward the 'cuda.
I don't know how many white 'cudas there were around here, but I think this is where it ended up.

I never found a broadcast sheet. However I do have other nice dealership paperwork for the car and a photo or two when the car was new.

This is my 1970 Cuda 440 with bench seat and column shift....EF8 with green interior. I bought It a few years ago from its second owner who purchased it in 1971. These pictures are from the day that I went to look it over. It was being kept at a storage unit.
