That thing is Nice! I wouldn't change a thing but clean it up. Is it a late build date car? why are you tearing the interior down? I had to pull the bench seat out to repair a stripped bolt for the hinge on dr. side, also want to clean the carpet really well and lube the rear window regulators, they were squeaky going up and down. Also looking for the build sheets. I couldn't get the one behind the dash without tearing it while the seats were in.

Very nice car! What's the story on how you found and purchased it? I have another 71 cuda, so a friend introduces me to a gentleman trying to help the wife sell the car. He knew I had one so wanted me to talk to him. He showed me pics of the car, I asked to see it, and naturally I had to have it. Car was never put on the market for sale, if it was I probably never would have had an opportunity to buy it.

Sounds like you have just won the lottery, a chance to buy a survivor car like that is one in a million at the very least.. Very nice.
Looking for affordable 72-74 Cuda parts

I see some military base entrance stickers front bumper ? Yes several Los Angeles AFB stickers up front. First on isn't dated, possibly when car was new, next dated '74 Real cool do not want to touch them, they add character to the car and prob some cool stories with them.

Very nice! Was this the car in the Buffalo NY area? I had heard it was coming up for sale, but not really an E body guy.
Rick. Rick it was in Grand Island if it was the same car.

Beautiful car! That engine bay looks untouched, I hope it stays that way. The most common mistake people make with survivors is to "improve" and repaint the engines and under hood areas. Thank you Scott. To be honest I don't even wanna clean the compartment. I'm gonna put a resto battery in it and the correct washer bottle, which I'm looking for a correct original. The only thing that's been done is belts, hoses, plugs, wires, and tune up stuff. I have all the receipts for that stuff done 25 years ago. I don't believe the engine has ever been apart. I don't like the dirty look but I don't know where to stop without taking parts out to clean and possibly ruin numbers or finishes.

Nice car!!!! I had a triple black 71 cuda that was untouched like this car, but had rust to the point it got restored (in Australia). But to see unrestored cars like this (engine compartment), its a treat!.
What trans is in it?

I think it was a cool find, hard to believe that little gem was tucked away for 20 years. Good for you because it looks to have aged well. For such a small place there seems to be quite a few e-bodies on Grand Island.
Congrats.
Dave Thanks Dave! Do you know about the TX9 V code 71 in Grand Island?

What a super cool car. It is like a time capsule with the pictures you are posting for reference. Can you share a picture of the fender tag, it looks to have some awesome options. Great score and congratulations. Nothing too exciting on the tag unfortunately
