Local Mopar friend is restoring a '70 'Cuda

[69bronzeT5]

I've known this guy for a while now, I met him at a Mopar show years ago. He has a killer '70 R/T SE Challenger that wins awards every year. Anyways, he's had this '70 340-4spd 'Cuda for a good amount of time now. He also has a F8 '71 Charger R/T in his garage waiting for it's turn. Here's a picture of the 'Cuda when he got it.....

I figured I'd drive my Duster out to see him and the 'Cuda last night and I took a few pictures. Here's the car now. It's back into it's factory original FK5 Burnt Orange colour. When he bought it the original drivetrain was gone so he's putting a 6.1 Hemi with a Tremac 5spd in it. Besides that the car will be pretty stock.

Update!!!! Check out the drivetrain.....worked over 6.1 Hemi that pumps out 550 hp!!! Tremec 5 speed, Brembo SRT brakes all the way around, 17" grey Torque Thrust wheels from a newer Mustang. He's going to do either SRT or Corbeau GTS seats. Hoping to get it done by our local Mopar Madness show on July 10th!!!
