Looks like a beautiful ride! Congrats on finding your dream car, but sorry to see you selling this one - I understand though!

Nice photo of the Cuda, it looks like you have a great starting point for a nice ride! I am a fan of the 72 Cuda, especially the 340 cars. I have had 3 72's - two 340 cars (one was a 340 Cuda and one was a 340 Barracuda) as well as a 318 car (Barracuda) that I dropped a 340 in for a while. My...

Nice RT !!! I have always been a Cuda guy (Ive had 3 and still have my first one) but after buying a 74 Challenger the Challengers are growing on me - lol

Welcome - I like your car! I would like to hear more about it!

Not sure if your paint question still applies, but I have had good luck with automotive grade (auto paint store) rattle can clear. I would recommend trying a hidden area by lightly scuffing (scotch brite) cleaning with a wax and grease remover and the apply the clear. A rattle can that has a...

If you are restoring a T/A or AAR and it's your VIN stamped on it and its in decent shape, I would guess it would be worth around $5k or more. A complete engine can bring more than $10k from what I have seen listed (don't know what they sold for). If I am buying or selling I usually look for...

Welcome to the site! Always good to see and hear from other Mopar enthusiasts! I am an A and E- body owner as well.

I am pretty sure (99%) the T/A transmission was the exactly the same as the standard 340 (727) transmission, meaning the pan was the standard pan depth.

No problem, but its not my diagram - I borrowed it from B-Bodies only, but jumping the yellow wire was what I understood to be the fix (bypass)... I plan to try that with mine, since I also have a 74... my interlok was disabled before I got the car and I needed to understand the system to make...

I had to go look myself, because I have a 74 Challenger and have had issues similar to yours (none right now). Here is more info from for B Bodies only; 74 charger identify this part? This was a schematic they used (created), so I am not taking credit for this myself... Hopefully this helps.

Could it be the seat belt interlock wiring? 74 was the first year for that and it might be the issue...

I bought a sheet metal nut insert that worked very well for items like the side mirrors mounted on the doors. I recently replaced my tired chrome drivers mirror and added a passenger mirror with aftermarket painted mirrors using sheet metal nut inserts; I know, I hate buying from Amazon, but...

The AAR had a fiberglass hood, but never came with fiberglass fenders...

If thats the only rust, I would fix it. Original is always better in my mind, but there are limits. A relatively flat spot like this should be repairable, but where there is visible rust there will be more hidden in my experience.
