Well, if you know me , you know i am a MOPAR guy. I just had to buy another 68 cuda. Its a numbers matching formula S except for the motor. Overall the body is in good shape with a few minor rust spots. Car is being restored to its former glory. Drivetrain has been removed, all chrome removed, rear glass removed, interior removed (white-yuck) being replaced with black. All body work is done and car is being prepped for paint.

Henry You wont believe this but the guy who owned it was 3 miles from my place. The car was built in Michigan for Canada and exported to Calgary. Stayed in Calgary til 1973 Ended up in Brockville in 73. Went to Cardinal in 1976 Went to Winchester in 1981 Went to Chesterville in 1983 Went to Carp in 2003 Went to ME in 2015 Ran the fender tag trough the Mopar Registry and the car is numbers matching except for engine which was replaced in 1971(faulty)

340 Pish Posh......
Go with Big Block Mopar propulsion for this one. Christine has a 440 maybe the Cuda should get a 383.
