I know quite a few guys here in New York that still haven't found the car that they really want. Instead they choose to hoard some of the rarest and never before seen Mopars in sheds, under awnings, in basements, etc. just incase that perfectly optioned Mopar comes their way. Me personally, I think you're doing our hobby a huge favor by bringing that car back from hibernation and giving someone else a chance to own, enjoy, and create memories in that Cuda instead of just sitting on it for the next 25 years until you find your dream car. Trust me, If I had the extra coin right now, I'd love to own and enjoy that car.

I agree, I've done the same thing myself, not by plan but simply because I bought a car that was close to what I wanted but not exactly, I bought it thinking I wouldn't find one better, and then along comes the exact car I wanted and poof! Time to sell the first one. Sometimes the timing is rather close, sometimes not, but it happens.

Good job Des!

I agree as well: That Cuda sitting another 25 years doesn't do anyone any good, great progress made on it. Flippers are the ones that do absolutely nothing to a car except inflate the price.

The purpose of this "member projects" area of the board is to post the stories behind just that, member projects! These typically last much longer then 30 days that was the case with this 'Cuda thread. It is very cool to read about it as a member works to complete their project. IMHO, it would have been great to see that done with this 'Cuda. Hopefully the next owner will hold on to the car for a while and share the ownership/restoration experience with us.

reluctantly, have to let this one go




Cool 'Cuda, Always sad when the last chapter of the story is the car is quickly flipped.




I agree!! I posted here thinking this B7 cuda was in the new hands of someone that REALLY wanted the car??? I'll stop at that, before I go to far!!


I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

I have done the same a couple of times, too.

I just bought a ER6 red 1970 SFGT but really want an EB7 blue one.
I will fix the red one and get it on the road but as soon as there is the right EB7 one out there I am going to let my red go.

Everything is good Desmond
