Ok cool, all this info gives me an idea of what I want to do. I used to be into racing and street cars but now I just want a slightly custom....but mainly original 65 cuda 273 4 speed. In fact, I just bought another 4 speed 65 cuda today, it is in better shape and came with a 8 3/4 rearend! Lady said it was a 6cyl 4 speed car with an auto put in...got there it was a 273 car and big rear end and dual exhaust...hmmmmm I think the other car will be cut up most likely The car I was talking about when this post started has had a lot of cutting done to it in the back end....I was gonna save it...but I don't know too many people willing to save this car so..... I will have a parts car!
