1970 'Cuda information

**X66 714** · #1 07-21-2021, 03:52 PM

I'm thinking about buying a 1970 'Cuda but I want to learn about standard & optional features. Where can I get quality information about these cars? I know the 1969 Camaros pretty good. Thank you, Joe

WOW Lee. That's perfect. I'm already blind from reading. I should get plenty of answers from this. Thank you very much....Joe

Are you looking at any 70 in particular? Feel free to PM me if you find something. I'd be happy to give any unwarranted tips/advice/abuse. :-)

70's are cool, and much cleaner than the 71's with all their added on bling.

Thank you. I will most likely be looking for a 4 speed car w/o the shaker. Don't care for spoilers either. Looking at a dark burnt orange 340 car at the moment. I have a picture of the fender tag. It's interesting that there's not better standard features with a cuda like the 1969 SS Camaro has. Just seeing what's out there. I will most likely have to sell off some of my inventory to buy one. I love your car by the way. Followed it all through restoration...Joe

Going from an GM F-body to an Mopar E-body takes some getting used to. Especially the rattle-y sounds the doors make when you close them on a Cuda/Challenger. That giant piece of glass and all the accompanying hardware inside that giant steel drum of a door shell, takes some getting used to. And the over use of heavy plastic for all the interior panels. But the color choices are cool especially since the engine compartments are body color, making every example a unique piece.

Is your interest strictly a 'Cuda? Or you could be swayed by a big-block Barracuda or Gran Coupe?

I would have to see when that time comes. Has to be a factory 4 speed for sure....Thank you, Joe

IF this is real, it's a real find. I know the Shaker was available on regular Barracudas but I never have seen one. Asked my friend Ola ('Cuda guru) what he thinks.

Not quite the year you wanted, but sometimes a good find changes priorities.

It would have to be a 70 & no shaker. Thank you, Joe
