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?

OWWW!

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

Insurance cover that ??? - I bet they argue to the death not to pay out properly on 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.
