The Vert Is my 66 Satellite.. Just a cruiser...but a dang good one. We drive it all over. 273 2 BBL Auto, Ps, reg drum brakes. Buckets and console. It's a really nice cruiser. Plan on putting a 318 in it with a A500 overdrive. Back to the Cuda... Got the engine out today. Left it on the...

Thanks, The truck is my kids 56 Studebaker Transtar

Finally got some more time to work on the Cuda, The car is really nice but the underside is 43 years old and looks pretty crusty. I pulled the rear end a couple of months ago and got it all cleaned up, It's not a show quality restoration, but I did the best I could with my limited talent to...

Yea, my car isn't really something that special, It's a 383 4bbl Gran Coupe in purple just like to have info on it.

Been a long time since I even had a car I was interested in finding information on, But I am curious on what's out there now for getting information about my car. 10 Years or so ago I had a 66 Hemi Belvedere and I was able to get an IBM punch card (?I think?) and even sent money to that Govier...

IMO, 16K is nuts. No way you, him or anyone else could get that thing back together and NOT be way behind the curve financially. ... and to add, no one ever has " all the parts" . I take stuff apart in my garage and loose things before I get it back together. Imagine what has "disappeared"...

The engine in it is a 69 Charger 440 HP. I got the original 383 when I purchased the car. I am getting ready to send it out to get rebuilt. Carb... Engine. The 440 Has a complete VIN stamped on the side of it... XS23L9B243290 or it could be an XS29L9B... that 4th digit is really hard to...

F9 4615 S..... Looks to be on the front base There is a tag also... It says 4615 S Has 1759 below that and then a big 77 on the tag to the right . My car was built in 69 as an early 70... So it may or may not be right .... Some sites say the 4615 is for a manual car, but mine has all the...

Well, It must be a Carter AVS, it's not a Holley or T-Quad. I will try to get some numbers off of it, You can see some stamped but my eyes are getting older...

I have been reading up on my 70 Grand Coupe N code car, It seems that the Automatic transmission cars came with a "blue" engine which seems correct because the original engine with my car is blue. I may or may not have the original carb to the car, some resources say it should have a Holley...

N code

That's what I was figuring. I guess I could start doing the hypothetical math and make my car a one of one (or none). Guess I will settle with one of 732...

Okay... time to be a little irritating to myself and probably others. :BangHead: I found that there were 732 Grand Coupe 383 Automatic cars but is there any sites that list color breakdown and with A/C?

Can't tell you if you need the spring or not... but I read on another forum how to get those springs in. The guys say to put one end of the spring in a vice and grab the other in and pull the spring to the side. They say that when there is a gap between the spring coils to put a flat washer in...

I bought some new top of the door trim, (belt-line molding) for my 70 Cuda. The old stuff came off pretty easy with a firm snap..The clips look new probably replaced when they painted the car, I can't seem to get the new reproduction trim to snap on. Are the clips supposed to be snapped into...
