I love a challenge............. I will try and get over to their place if somebody can give me the address. (Don`t mess with me, I say)

Thanks Paul.
The last paragraph is interesting......."whilst at the rear, offset spring shackles are used to get the narrowed Road runner axle under the bodywork" All of this is still there
And mid way......." The gearbox is wrapped in a Lakewood trans blanket, Lakewood also supplied the rollbar bolted in behind the driver" Obviously the rollbar is still there!
More investigation required on the car

From reading that it looks as though they had 3 Cudas at one point
" for 73 Dave bought the barracuda with a 340, this came out and went into Dereks older Cuda making room for the 440"
.....SoThats 2 cudas
" Dave also negotiated to buy Mustapha Errols Hemi Cuda over winter, Taking the engine out of the unsuitable body and put back his original 340 motor
This may be used as a tow car in matching Colours"
.... and this makes 3
what do you think ??

I think they ment
The Hemis body was unsuitable compared to Cracklin.
probably means it was to good, no scoop, glass wings, flared rear arches etc or heavily optioned /heavy.
