My name is Merkle in from Clarence and I have a 73 'Cuda that I am slowly restoring. I raced it all of last year up at langcaster speedway durring the shredd and reggan cruise nights. Averaged around a 9.5 fastest time was a 9.28 As of right now I have a 360 (5.9L) with all stock equipment except for the six pack. I do have bigger plans for the car but no one is going to find out till later this season.

Niiice car. '73 was the best year for the 'Cuda in my opinion. I’ll definitely own one some day. What color/transmission is it?
