1972 Plymouth 'cuda 340 6 pk 4 speed 391 gears

[BS23J2]

Hello Mopar brothers and sisters. I don't own a 'cuda now, but many years ago I had owned 2 'cudas. A 1972 'cuda 340 4 speed and then a 1970 'cuda 383 with console shifter. I was young and stupid (rolls eyes} and didn't have the money to fix the things my cars needed. Also this was prior to my acquiring the mechanical skills I would later have. So, my cars got sold and now I have the imprint of my foot on my ass from kicking it so many times, LOL. But if the chance ever presents itself again I will be building a '72 'cuda 340 6 bbl car with 6 speed transmission and Sure Grip rear with 391 gears. I've had many years to build this car in my head. Now if God smiles upon me with a sudden financial surprise the car will get built. Prayers accepted and appreciated. Signed as my friends used to refer to me, Barracuda Bob.

Hello Bob. We've all done stuff where we kicked ourselves later on in life. Waving at ya from a little south in Virginia.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City!
Now that we know what will propel it we need to know what color combo it will be…

Hey, thanks for your comment. I know, and it's comforting to know I'm not the only one. Just wish we could of had the foresight of seeing down the road ahead of us and reconsidered our choices before making the wrong choice of doing what we did to cause us to be kicking ourselves later. Just part of growing up, I know. Thanks buddy.

I never had a camera when I had my '72 'cuda so I never got a picture of the car. But I did build a model of the car, then got these pictures.

I found this picture online and was shocked, that's exactly how my car looked except mine had the Pentastar Magnum 500 wheels with trim rings.

God, I miss that car, Winchester Grey and beautiful! Nothing like the pull of a V8 4BBL 4 speed.

My '72 'cuda was Winchester Grey with a white vinal roof. I found out much too late that Winchester Grey GA4 was not a common color, but it was too late, I'd already sold the car and regretting it in a huge way. Looking back on it I appreciate it now much more than I did at the time. Oh well, we live and learn? Hahaha.

Welcome to FEBO from the desert.

I was 17 driving my dad's old 73 Satellite when my older brother was going to give me his 68 GTX 440/727 numbers matching with real magnesium wheels. He had wrecked the drivers fender into the driver's door so it would have needed those two body parts. I past on it and he sold it. I still kick myself for that mistake! So you're not alone!

Hindsight can be a kicker. We live and learn, eh?
