Very nice- that's on my short list of non-Pontiacs I would like to add to my collection someday.

Very nice Cuda J. D. I always said that if I were to stray from a Pontiac it would be a Cuda. Now you got me thinking about one again.
Looks like you may have started something here.
Enjoy your new ride.

[QUOTE=salem1912;5722852]Nice ride. Had one three years ago and my son is mad I sold it. (Me too)

That's funny -- my son feels the EXACT same way! He would gladly have me get rid of three 64 GTO's to get the AAR Cuda back. It had 4.56 rear gears, shift kit , high stall torque converter, cam, etc., and was set up for F.A.S.T. racing. (But easily turned to stock for the purists.) When he was five or six I took him for a test run and on the 1-2 shift he slid forward off the seat, bumped his head on the dash and contrary to what I was expecting he came up laughing and has been hooked on performance cars ever since. While arguably one of the best looking cars of the musclecar era it was also characterized by lots of noise (sound deadening reduction in the case of the AAR) rattles and a low quality interior.

As a 14 year kid I live two doors from a drug store with two young pharmacist working. One had a 70 Challenger T/A and the other a 70 AAR, I always waited for quitting time!
