May be the same car, When I was repainting my car way back when, I found the bonnet scoop inserts had been painted silver at one point in their life, but had been painted black after

. The car has been Yellow,blue, red and black through its life and is now back to yellow..
the reg then was FGP455T

Not seen any other cudas in Jersey except mine which was SFL 247K perviously owned by Colin Lucas-winn and Bill Mason before him.

Car used to be in Swindon, owned by Phil Gardiner who also had a shoe box Chevy. Kiwi would know him.
I sometimes mix this car up with EHJ120H which is a plum 440+6 which was an ex sunshine classics car and much tidier from memory. Haven't seen taht for a bit either. Bill Mason may have had 142H at some time according to my records.

Thanks for the info all postings are much appreciated.

The car was very straight as I remember it, well there were no bubbles anywhere on the car dont know how old the paint was at the time. Rod had the car about 2 or 3 years but he shared a unit with us between 4 and he only used his quarter of the rent for storage of the car. I do remember one of the lads went near it for something and the glass dropped into the bottom of the door

. Phil managed to put right before Rod found out and I dont think he knows to this day

.

Dont know exactly what he give for the car, or sold it for but it was around the 6K mark which I guess is about right for 1990.

But I alway's thought it was a Baracuda rather than a 'Cuda because of the plain hood it had originally. Sorry if I'm wrong not that much up on them but to my knowledge a Baracuda is a small block or 383 with 2 barrel. And the official 'Cuda's were the big block and AAR car's... Would this be right ???

Jim I have some picture's of your car at Goodwood 2002. I am still looking for them and when I find them I will pop em on here.
