...we moved to San Antonio and it never ran right at all (long stories)
and it was hit in a parking lot, minor damage/repaired

...moved back to Indiana...tree fell across the roof in an ice storm/repaired and whole car repainted...sold it



...next owner...car was side swiped the first night he owned it sitting in front of his house

...a few days later it was hit hard head on by his ex-wife on purpose

...a few weeks later it was put thru a barbed wire fence backwards...all was repaired again

...a couple months later the car was drowned in about 12 feet of water, passengers had to swim out of the car...repaired again, car was filled with mud and sewage and started to rust immediately...he sold it

...a few years later I saw the car for the last time, it was being driven by a kid, it was rusty all the way up past the side marker lights and the interior was rotten, it stunk...

all this before the car was 4 years old...................it surely did die a horribly rusty death, I HOPE SO !!!

Wow! That Cuda was like a cat with nine lives!!
