‘Cuda fans it simply doesn’t get much better than this: A numbers matching, rust free, all original sheetmetal, documented, four speed If you’re looking for verification this car was as nice as we say it was, ee have four cd’s worth of pictures showing detail after detail on this car. The fenders, the decklid, the floors, the framerails…all immaculate. The upper body was sanded down to bare metal while the chassis was blasted clean. Every part which could come off was tagged, cleaned and refinished as original. Obviously, weatherstripping and other soft trim was replaced, but you’ll find an unreal amount of original parts on this car. Nearly every part on the car was personally inspected by Dave Wise, and he graded all of them. His final tally was a grade of 1.5, which is halfway between an excellently restored car and a perfect trailer queen. Each part is graded individually from fasteners to component assemblies: If you wanted to take the car to the very top level you’ll know exactly what needs attention. Pull the hood pins and gently lift on the hood to show the immaculately detailed engine compartment. There are the correct hoses and spark plug wires, and the air filter’s correct, the motor’s the right shade of orange and the compartment itself is gorgeous. Cool little details are everywhere, from the correct, dimpled and date coded voltage regulator to the restored original air cleaner and carbs. The underside of the hood is matte black (non textured) as original and the wiper motor and other plated parts sparkle. What else would you expect from a concours car? AARs and T/As have at least two tags, one (or more) for codes and a second tag that says “TRANS AM” for the A53 package. Here’s the coded fender tag breakdown: EN1 N94 R11 V6H Y05 26 J45 J82 M21 M88 N44 N85 FJ6 A53 A62 B51 C55 G34 FJ6 H6X9 000 402 N03161 E55 D21 BS23 J0B 292xxx EN1 End of codes N94 Fiberglass Fresh Air Hood R11 AM Radio (2 Watts) V6H Longitudinal Stripes Y05 69-70 Build to 26 26” Radiator J45 Hood Tie Down Pins J82 Rear Spoiler - Duck Tail M21 Roof drip rail moldings M88 Quarter Panel Tape Treatment N44 Side Exhaust N85 Tachometer FJ6 Sassy Grass Green Paint A53 Trans Am Package A62 Rallye Instrument Cluster Package B51 Power Brakes C55 Bucket Seats G34 OS LH Racing Mirror, Painted FJ6 Sassy Grass Green Paint H6X9 Black Bucket Seat Interior 000 No Upper Door Frame Paint 402 April 2, 1970 Build Date N03161 Sequence Number E55 340 cid 3x2 barrel V8 D21 Four Speed Manual Transmission BS23 ‘Cuda Hardtop J0B 340+6 Engine, 1970 Model Year, 292xxx VIN We put this guy on the lift and were blown away all over again. This is a concours restored car, and not an O.E. certified car. What’s the difference? Concours cars have protective finishes on everything to preserve the car forever, while O.E. guys spend their lives wiping down unprotected parts with light oil or celebrating surface rust. While there’s nothing wrong with pursuing assembly line perfection, you’ll have none of that with this car. It will be as gorgeous in 20 years as it is right now, and that’s impressive. The floor pans were painted in correctly-colored gray dip primer from Dave Patik, with correctly applied color coat overspray. The suspension is detailed to level 11. Rallye wheels hold the correct E60-15 front and G60-15 rear tires as the Lifting the correct mat reveals a trunk pan you could eat off of. Plenty of cash was spent replating the taillight housings, the trunk latch and the jack post, too, but when you go this far, go all out! New seats and foams take center stage in the sanitary interior, accented on the floor by the always-cool One of 42 known in Sassy Grass Green, the color is as uncommon as it is beautiful, accounting for a mere 4% of known cars. I love the color on AARs because it works so well with the blacked out treatments. The paint is a solid 10 out of 10, but the Organisol blows it away. Shiny, perfect paint is hard to achieve, but that textured stuff is nearly impossible to get right, and it’s the nicest I’ve ever seen! Obviously perfect chrome and stainless compliment the outstanding finish from the AAR-specific grille to the taillight bezels. If you’re into Mopars, you’d have to agree this is arguably the nicest |
