This got smashed the later part of last year, I was told he hit a lamp post them some parked cars. I think he had it on Ebay a while back but never sold it. I bet now he wishes he had.

Clive, this will be the one under cover that you saw the other week.

That's the way to wreck a Cuda.

What a shame. that is a genuine 1970 383 Cuda Convertible, - which some years ago was converted to a 71 model, but of course still has the 70 VIN etc..

Cuda 'verts are worth loads of money, - i reckon that car can be repaired.

'Anyone here want to take it on?

It's hard to see the damage properly with those pics being dark an' all! Whats happened has the front end curled under ?

What a shame - cant imagine how sick he felt after that!

Ducan, I think Jim has got it about right. A friend of mine was there just after it happened
The pics where taken on a camera phone, that's why they're not so good.
