Up for sale is my 1970 Cuda 440-6 Pack, which I purchased inSacramento, California in 2005. This car was ordered new at Ainsworth Chrysler-Plymouthin Roseville, California and spent its entire life in California until Ipurchased and trailered it to Indiana in 2005. The car spent much of its timeprior to my ownership in a classic car museum in Sacramento, California as theprevious owner never drove it and wanted it maintained in a climate controlledenvironment. The history of this car is known back to 1972, when it waspurchased by the 2nd owner. I am the 5th owner. Previousowners are available to discuss the cars history, if needed.
The car was fully rotisserie restored in the late 1990’s bya well-known Mopar Enthusiast. It has only had 1 repaint. During therestoration, all the original rust-free parts were re-installed and restoredwhere needed. The car still retains the near perfect, show quality PPGbase/clear paint in B5 that was applied during the restoration. The interior isoriginal to the car, except for the seat covers, carpet and dash (recovered byJust Dashes). The dash frame still retains the factory applied black paint. Allbody panels on the car are original, except for the passenger side fender andtrunk lid, which were only replaced because they were dented and original partswere easier to source in the 1990’s. An original California rust-free fenderand trunk lid were used during the restoration. The original rear valence wasreplaced with an NOS piece to allow the usage of chrome tips. All other panelson the car are as it was built on November 21st, 1969. When Ipurchased the car, it had 31,957 miles and it now has 32,101 miles…meaning Ihave hardly drove it.
The factory applied door VIN sticker (vertical mount sincecar was produced at the LA plant) is untouched and still affixed to thedriver’s door. This is a two fender tag car, verified with the cowl vin, coresupport and dash VIN numbers. Additionally, all Shaker parts are original tothe car. Since this car was built at the LA manufacturing plant, and they had a "no paper waste policy", the car did not come with a build sheet from new. The car still retains the original seat foam/sub-structure (only the covers were replaced) and glove box lining, and it's clear that a build sheet was never present in these locations.
The car retains its original numbers matching 6-Pack engineand 4:10 Dana 60 rear end, and a correct 3410672 727 6-Pack transmission, sinceit did not contain the original transmission when I purchased it. The factoryVIN on the replacement transmission is just a few cars away from mine(0E12XXXX), meaning it is date code correct. My cost for the replacementtransmission was $5000.00 prior to the rebuild because of the original VINsequence. The engine, transmission and Dana 60 have been fully rebuilt by shopsthat specialize in Mopar driveline restoration. All internal driveline componentswere replaced with NOS parts. The driveshaft is the correct “775” stamped unitwith NOS “DETROIT” U-joints. The engine, Dana 60 and leaf springs arecompletely restored with the correct gloss level paints assembly line platingand assembly processes. The 3 Holley date coded 6-pack carbs have just beenrefurbished by Scott Smith at Harms automotive. The car runs very well, and is very fast.
Since this car spent it’s life in California, there are nopits on the driveline components, such as trans mount, engine cross member,drive shaft, bumper brackets, floor, trunk, differential, etc. All steel linesare original to this car (brake and fuel). Overall, the body is near perfect, becauseof its care over the last several decades.
Over the past 13 years, I have replaced many parts with NOSOE assembly line date coded for this car. The total for those parts alone isover $60,000. The entire driveline has been restored with correct NOS parts,down to each and every bearing, seal, clamp, clip, and screw. All paint dabsand colors were accurately recreated. I even hand-stamped my own rubber “KV” fuellines to match the originals I removed.
A list of the major NOS items that have been installed canbe viewed below, but it is not comprehensive.
More photos can be provided upon request.I can be reached at 317-417-7564 for moreinformation. I am a private seller and this is my only classic car. Thank you.
