Bluecifer 1970 Cuda B7 Blue Restoration

MOPARMITCH · Monday at 2:06 PM

Figured it was time to start a build thread on my B7 Blue 1970 Cuda. This car has been waiting in the wings for 10 years for me to get to it. Please don't Hate me. Lol Numbers matching 383 4spd Car. I'm only the second owner. Have all documentation. First pics are from when I picked it up. Guy was a mechanic himself, and started to disassemble the car himself. Lost interest to my delight. I have ALL the parts. He bagged and tagged everything he took apart. Confirmed by me. Not my first Restoration Rodeo...Have many pics, and will post as I go along here. Thanks...

Looks like you got some good bones there. A big project but B7 is a great Cuda color.
Watching your thread for progress.

More pics, after I got it inside my shop and out of the trailer that was in my driveway. Now on the rotisserie.

Disassembly was started. Removed front suspension and k-frame. Removed rear differential. Everything in the engine bay and start on the dash frame and wiring. All parts identified and bagged and tagged.

Thanks for the pictures. Will there be aerial coverage from the blimp?

Yes, of course. Car is quite a way along now. Have had it soda blasted bare, and now in Epoxy Primer. Car has 0 rust, except for a hole in the trunk, the size of a Silver Dollar.... :thumbsup:

What a great starting point. Where was the car from originally? MD cars usually are not that rust free.

Yes, I think I saw you are also in Md. This car was bought new at Anacostia Chrysler Plymouth in D.C. by the guy's brother I bought it from. I have title in the original owners name. I have the Dealer Invoice and the Window sticker, and receipts for minor warranty work done in the cars early life..... :thumbsup:

Wow! Great car and bonus on having all the parts.

MOPARMITCH · 2025-06-24T13:11:15-0500

More pictures from past progress. Note, the only rust on this car is the hole you see in the trunk. Car is now in Eastwood Epoxy Primer. I'll add some documentation that I have for the car.

Non power steering with 14 inch steel wheels! Are you planning on keeping it that way?

Yeah, I may use 15's on it for my use. But will also have the 14's . Armstrong steering indeed. Need to keep it all original, down to the paint since ALL numbers on this car match.

Wow! Guys like you are RARE on any of these Chrysler Corp. boards. My hat is off to you.
Do you need anything at all for the car, or do you have absolutely everything for it?

Will need to buy new Interior parts, weatherstripping and the like. All the "Hard Parts" are here and accounted for. Engine parts when I rebuild that, New Clutch , etc... Everything is bagged and tagged and in 12 Totes on the shelf. I'm quite sure I'll still be spending a ton of money on things for this car. Just don't know for real, what yet...
