Got a ride in a hemicuda today

[EricG]

Super nice 17k mile all original car! Super trak pack 4.10 gear automatic all numbers match. My friend is the 3rd owner, one repaint in the 90s…otherwise this car is a time capsule! This car was legit fast too, my friend drives his cars!

 

[BULL]

Very Nice!

How long has he had it?

How long has he had it?

Bought it a few years ago out of the northeast, dream car for him so he paid market value, but got a good deal literally paid cash so only 2 people actually know the number

I mean he paid Galen Govier $5k to verify everything on it before he bought it.

 

[Magnified]

Cool for him. Nice ride to have. Thanks for sharing.

Just gorgeous! The E-Body Hemis are the best looking muscle car design in history IMO, and why our retro-modern Challengers have been in production 15+ years...cannot be topped. You listening, Kuniskis?

Adds to the value of the car just to have Galen certify the cars credentials, especially if it hasn’t had a deep back ground check with paper trail. Money in the bank along with good peace of mind.

How old is your friend?

 

[SilverBillet]

Galen has been kind of ostracized by the Mopar community but he is an old and good acquaintance of mine. I guess the Hemi Cuda did not have a broadcast sheet or bill of sale? I wonder if it had the original fender tag or any paperwork/history with it? I can’t believe he paid GG $5K!

Has original fender tag and build sheet. I guess a big part of it was paying all travel fees and stuff...

How old is your friend?

Mid 60s

 

[Paladin06]

That's a $1M car for sure.

I bet that ride in that car felt real good, didn't it. There is something special about those old cars. Our HC's are cool but give me 60's/70's muscle all day long.

 

[B5Cat16]

My guess would be FK3 or FK5. Sometimes the colors don't come through exactly as they are.

 

[EricG]

Yeah it's burnt orange metallic I believe, I should have taken a picture of the fender tag...let me check.

 

[EricG]

can you ask your friend the paint code on that for me?

Here’s the tag - FK5?

 

[ChargerChallenger]

Damn wish I had kept mine😳. 340 motor pistol grip but still…..

 

[DavidKFla]

I had a Challenger T/A in that color. It really pops in the sun and sparkles in flashing lights on a cop car.

I am trying to find pictures of GK-6 Autumn Metallic Bronze from 1971

That was the color of my 71 Demon 340, biggest problem with that paint it contained a lot of lead. We all now lead bad! I’ve never seen it duplicated very well even with a black base underneath. I’ll see if I can did up a picture or 2

Owned this for 16 years now. It's not a real Cuda. Left the factory as a 318 auto. Now it's a 340 stroker, 5 speed tremec and 3.91 gears. I drive it everywhere including to the office on nice days. Such a cool car.

And you had more fun and enjoyment with that car than anyone owning a hemi Cuda that they couldn't even use.
