Default Re: 1970 Cuda Convertible , 440-6 pack, 4 speed

The 1970 Lemon Twist Yellow 440-6 pack "Cuda Convertible 4 speed is one of only 17 made The car has a dated coded 440-6 pack block. I wish it were original,but, 1 of only 17 made, it is very difficult. I spent over $140,000.00 on the restoration. Galen Govier did a visual inspection in July, 2002. He had this to say: Cars was rated a 4 out of a possible 5 in every category , except for the wheels. The overall rating was a 4.3 (very high). On his notes he noted the Trunk pan had been replaced with an original floorpan, not aftermarket. The car has reproduction door panels. This car will please the most discriminating buyer.The car has had an original(not aftermarket) shaker hood added. It came with a rallye hood and luggage rack. It now has a shaker and no luggage rack. I had an extra trunk painted and a luggage rack re-chromed, but not installed, goes with car. Here is the de-coding of the ORIGINAL FENDERTAG, not a reproduction;
