Sold my race car.

I saw a wanted add on here for a turn key car that could run S/G in the race car forum so I called him and it worked out for both of us

Time for me to start finishing the new car, a1965 Dart 270 back half chrome moly coil over four link rear suspension with a QA1A arm coil over front suspension
I want to run in NHRA Top Sportsman as well as racing a quick S/P door car that runs down dragsters

Nice cuda, congrats on the sale. Looks like a friends old car, was it from NY ?
Good luck with the 65 Dart, any pics ?

That's a deep pool. I have some good friends who have gone there over the years. Teen packages and fender racing at 200MPH. Go for it.

Super Gas is fun too. Different discipline. Make the car run what you want it to run, regardless weather, track, etc. Little different than just changing the number on the window.

That car was sold new in Tuscon, AZ to the original owner, it was a Grand Coupe 383 two barrel car that he turned into what it was when i got it minus the motor. I was able to talk to him before buying from the guy he had traded it to.
It had a blown B1 aluminum KB block motor that powered the car to 7:85 ET and 184.+ MPH, I think it what he said.
That car went straight as a arrow and was real easy to drive with the Biondo box and Shiftnoid air shifter and throttle controller
The only problem I had was seeing around the scoop sitting in the seat he had made and mounted for himself, he was 6.6 and weigh right at 325 lbs., I'm 6.0 and 260 Lbs. with all the driving gear on
Upwards and onwards

Cab I must say the cars you have and have had are astounding! I look forward to details and stories on the 65

She's a beauty! Seems like you were ready to move on so that is a good deal for everybody.

Congrats on the sale. I sold my Top Sportsman car to go back to Super Street Just not my kinda people there. While TS is full of great races and people there are some who just have lots of money and want to go fast with little concern about anyone else or the skills required to run that fast. So I am going back to mainly S/ST and an occasional S/C national event. Although we will hopefully be well over 160 in S/ST. Looking forward to seeing your new hotrod. And I know your old Cuda fairly well actually.

Cab,
I like the Cuda, what price did you sell it for?

Hopefully the right price.

Now…you guys know that a gentleman never tells But in all seriousness the car has made its way into my shop and is waiting it’s turn at the chassis shop to have adjustable wheelie bars built and the seat moved so that it’s more comfortable for me, other than that no major changes. Current plans also include selling my 7.0 index foot brake 67 Dart and a couple other projects I had going so that I can get focused on seat time in this car, possibly some 5.80 index racing, maybe some divisional Super Gas action and definitely some decent paying bracket racing. As a side note let me say that it has been an absolute pleasure talking to, dealing with and meeting with Cab, funny how you “see” people on Moparts a lot, read their posts and wonder what it would be like to meet them, Cab’s a good dude and a wealth of knowledge

Good Luck with it she looks Good .

I got a street hemi twin if you want a daily driver to match. Lol

Nice Cuda's. I might be partial to B5 E Bodies.....

I like E body Challengers better than E body Cuda's

Same here. However, everyone I know likes the Cuda better than a Challenger. Not me.I would still love a Cuda though if the price was right.

I was looking for a 70 Challenger when I found this Cuda. The 70 Challenger is the only model year I ever liked or would own. Cuda's I could do 70 or 71 but that's it.

Nice buy! Congrats

Nice looking Cuda! One of my first cars was a 70 Barracuda about that color, with a 225 slant six, in 1972.
