most f the photo's I have left are from drag racing that I took from 59- 62 or so, they were converted from slides. the rest of my 3-400 photos were taken in a burglary of my home in 1969 -thy weren't after photo's I m sure but they just grabbed boxes from the garage. I can post occasional dragster photo's if anyone likes. including my first drag car and dragster.

What ever became of this car, is it a original Hemi Cuda? I have a original 70 Hemi Cuda. It is a FK5 4-speed car.

yes it was a factory hemi autotrans car . beings my only goal was to race it I stripped all the weight off I could removed the floor pans ,made a 2 x 3 frame rail chassis ladder bars/coil overs etc. with a 10 point cage, I even got the side protection metal out of the doors-good for 60 lbs saving. then I removed the perfect rally dash with the 150 speedometer so I could put the cross bar for the roll cage closer to the windshield area and use that to mount a dash for the gauges-.I kept the dash in the garage a few weeks, it took up space- no one wanted it so it went to the dump,sorry. I must have sold the car or traded it for something I don't remember any more- thats odd. I liked the car and now I have no clue why I got rid of it. come to think of it I have no clue what I did yesterday~remember guys- in those days they were800 to 1500 dollar cars.and we thought they would be building them forever.

Been there done that!! I also parted cars during the 70's and many E cars got scraped....

I know a jerk in Sacramento who personally killed at least 35 Hemi cars, B and E body cars. he worked for a auto shop that did tuneups-oil changes etc. every time a Hemi car came in he'd note the address- make a key from the original -a few days later he'd find and take the car- by morning the engine/trans/dana was in his garage -the body cut up and dumped in a slew never to be seen again,he resold the engines. he bragged of one time he followed a guy to work who parked his Challenger at the loading dock, he'd come out to check it every so often, he timed the guy- and as soon as the guy stepped back into the warehouse he had the car and was gone. hated him for that.

Man....I knew the big block and Hemi cars were sacred and didn't scrap them but tried to find someone that wanted to buy. Thieves.....I hate them!!!
