Drive one Cuda for 10 years and then got another and drive it 10 years, both daily drivers. Lot of guys now have them but will never have the fun I did for 20 years. However I wish I hadn’t sold the last one back in 2004….got a modern challenger but the old Cuda’s was were it was at.

Gary has been selling that car for 30 years. That car has run through the Kruse Auction in Auburn so many times and yet it never sold. While it is a cool car, it needs quite a bit of work, it has been sitting for basically 40 years.

It won't sell for that. The top doesn't come down.

Wrong battery. Battery cables may be original, I think there's a ridge running down the cable.
