Our ModCuda was bought by a lady from Clarksville, TN at Star Chrysler Plymouth in Nashville TN on 10/18/1968 for $3648.80. It had a black vinyl roof (V1X), green floral interior (F6J) and the exterior paint was Y4 Spanish Gold Metallic. She traded in a Pontiac GTO 2 door HT (cannot read the year of the GTO on the documentation) and got $2773.80 trade-in allowance for it.

Since we bought it in 1993, we've kept most of the original parts, but when we restored it, we decided to soup it up a bit. Here's what we've done over the last couple of decades:

• Original 340 HP engine, now .030 over
• Electronic Ignition with MSD 6AL
