Hi all,
It's been a while since I was here so I have some catching up to do.

As usually happens, someone came along that needed to own the '69 PU more than I did so it left.

So,I thought I would share a pic of my new daily driver.
It's a '72 'Cuda, with a 340 and 727 slap stick.
I'm having a ball tinkering on it as I drive it.







Cheers!:rockin:

Nice ride! I need to get on my projects so I can have a cool daily driver.
 
Nice ride!!!! Would love to find something like that.
 
Me too. I would have a hard time with my heavy right foot though, and would rack up quite a few speeding tickets.

Me too, that is why I got rid of my 2008 Mustang GT.
 
Sweet CUDA
 
Thanks for the kind words guys.
I continue to enjoy the Cuda as a daily driver while I piddle on it. I have ordered some new gauges from Speedhut. They have a gps controlled speedometer and the gas gauge is programmable up to 300 ohms. I plan to make the dash look as close to stock as possible while having newer technology to let me know what's happening.

Not having too much trouble keeping the foot soft. The tickets don't scare me as much as the gas tickets lol.

Cheers!

I sure do like the origionals a lot better than the new ones, sweet ride Mick!
 
oldognewtrick,
I like the originals better too. You would be surprised how many people I have ask if this is the 2015 version. Go figure, lol
cheers!

Don't know if it is the car, the brand, the ego....... I have found more Chrysler product owners so wrapped up in part numbers and everything but a guard dog shooing people away from their cars. Granted breathing on them may tarnish the paint luster and I understand miniature people with sticky hands but ........... it's only a car and there are thousands more. Most GM owners are more interested in talking and asking " whatcha got, ..... is it for sale " type conversation.
Maybe the Chrysler 60s image is so long forgotten and few bothered to save the good ones that clones are popping up all over.
After the 66 427 car is checked out, started and tuned, this will be the next in line. Love those old coupes. Anyone can touch, feel, sit in, and take their photos . I'm not a " don't touch my wheels geek " They were made to drive and repair.

Damn, one of these days I'd love to have an old Vet.
 
No,.... I have five. They followed me home. Too old to live in todays society. They rest in comfort out of the elements.
 
Just trailered two more, a 60 fuel injected original 290 hp with the big brake option ( race ready factory order ) and a 61 in a thousand pieces. Love it when people clean out their storage buildings. Between the two, 52 years of sleep.
