Here are my long gone 'Cuda's:

1971 'Cuda340 Convert:

1970 'Cuda440-6

1970 'Cuda440

Modern cars are WAYYYYYY better, but they were nice to look at and actually cheap to buy in the 1980's.

The 27,000 Mile Black 440-6 was bought for $6500 in 1986, the Convert was $7500 and I paid $5000 for the Purple 440 4bbl.

When i bought a 5.0 Mustangs in the late 1980's/early 1990's, and then a Turbobuicks in the mid 1990's, Old school Muscle cars were slow, ill handling tanks in comparison. Modify then to perform better and it kills their value. That is when I began to part ways with old school muscle. I don't regret for one minute selling them for a large wad of cash.

Engineering wise, I’m sure they are. Except in my mind they’re way too complex with too much reliance on computers and high tech gadgetry. Plus the old classics had much more style and cool factor. Today’s cars all look alike, too much resembling European and Japanese imports. You can have ‘em. I want nothing to do with them. Same for the music, movies, and TV shows of recent decades. :)
