I was looking at the Lost Muscle Cars Group on Facebook and happened upon this 1971 Cuda 340 Shaker 4-Speed (BS23H1B222437).
About 11 years ago (~2014), a previous owner posted on this group saying he was looking for this Cuda so I responded with what I know about the car.
I also found out via a reply posting that the Gronowicz family (father and two sons) in Michigan later owned it. They may still own it and replied that the car was purchased by their father in 1994 for $14,000.
The other FB info and photos LINK.
My Comment:
I am 99% sure this car was owned by Gene Godwin in Riverdale, Georgia until approximately 1984-1985. During Summer 1984, Gene was asking $5,500 for the car. At that time it had been previously painted in lacquer and the lacquer on the quarters was beginning to crack. I believe Gene was an Eastern Airlines employee, possibly a mechanic at the Hartsfield/Atlanta Airport.
I was acquainted with Gene Godwin and his neighbor across the street, Gerald Wright. They lived less than a half-mile from me. Gerald had a white 1973 Cuda 340 4-speed.
Anyway, I thought our forum would find this interesting and would like to see this Cuda. ENJOY!
