Took some pictures of a friends cars.
An All matching 1970 AAR Cuda restored about 20 years ago and a 1966 Hemi Belvedere. Enjoy.

Looks like you run in some fast company. Both are very nice!
A neighbor several doors down from me would like them. His motto is 'Mopar or no car'. His 1st new car was a '70 'Cuda 340 that he sold maybe 10 years ago (to my chagrin). Every other car he owns is Mopar.

I just hope you do the right thing and properly blow his doors off with your blown '70 soon.

The Cuda is supposed to be all original (parts, not paint). It doesn't see the daylight very often and i've never heard it run. The pictures don't do it justice, it looks brand new.
The Belvedere is supposedly 1 of 42 with its options. Its not the original hemi in the car, but its date correct. He said it needs work, the interior looks nice, there is some minor rusting by the rear mouldings from sitting outside one winter! I wish my Chevelle needed that much work......

Looks like Sassy Grass. In the mid 70s, I had a 340 Duster the same color.

Nice! The "Cuda" was my first favorite car - that and the Challenger. I had a 340 Duster Too!

Both very nice cars, thanks for sharing. Is that an under-dash 8 track in the Belvedere?

I always thought that green color was called "Sublime Lime" A close friend for many years had an AAR that color with white interior. It was sure a nice ride. Too bad he's been gone 15 years now, and his brother took the car out of state.

Not sure on the Belvedere 8 track. He current owner did tell me that the guy he bought the Belvedere off of actually had 2 identical, on the exterior, cars. One had the Hemi, the other had Hemi emblems, but a small block under the hood. You can imagine what he did with those on weekend nights. I tried to take pics from a local junkyard that has about 4-5 of the E-body cars in it, literally rusting to pieces. There was a convertible on top of a mildly hit hardtop. The stacking of cars did more damage than the original accident. They have been sitting there so long the convertible has rusted in 2. :( Next to the Chevelle, these are my favorite bodystyles.

There were 2 different bright greens, Sassy Grass and Sublime.

A friend of mine is still kicking himself over 2 Belvedere's. He had a '79 Trans- Am, in 1982-83, and a guy he knows tried to trade him 2 Hemi Belvederes for it, and give boot. One car was an auto, the other was a 4 speed, and both were low mileage, original cars out of Columbus,Ga/Phoenix City, Ala. area. The guy sent them up to him for storage in 1988, as someone tried to steal the 4 speed car, and I went over and looked at them. The 4 speed car was almost identical to the one pictured.
