Looks awesome. I always wondered what happened to that cuda after I saw it on cars in barns. Where is it currently located.

Just kidding. Well, Alan Gallant is restoring it. I think it might be his but Im not sure .

Ontario. Here's the licence plate Alan got for it.

That is a beautiful 440-6 'Cuda...I love the sassy grass green,  - - and its a 4-speed!  WOW.

And who's car is that??

That page says "Here is Alan's own personal project" so I'm assuming that means Alan Gallant. Massive amounts of work but it looks pretty good now.

The metal work on that car is simply amazing. The guy who did it is a magician!

I met Alan in Toronto a couple of years ago. A very nice guy, and very humble about his work as well.
It so happens that we know a lot of the same Mopar people in Canada, and I always here the same good things about him.
One of his earlier restorations was of a 1971 V code Charger R/T that I had found rotting in Northern New Brunswick years ago. It managed to find it's way into his garage!
What he did with that car was pretty impressive, but what's he's done with this TenBarrell 'Cuda is almost miraculous.

Last year, I did a Photo-shop projection of what this car would look like when it was done, and sent it to him.
As soon as the car was finished, the first shot he posted was in honor of my artistic efforts!!

Whitewall tires though   Otherwise it's nice

[Brock Samson]

[Nacho-RT74]

It's his project but it'll be for sale if it isn't already.   He's into it for way over 6 figures.    Some people on moparts were on his case over this car calling it more of a rebody.   

I don't really care...  I know I'm not buying into it anyway.    I don't think a rusted car sitting on barrels someplace in Canada qualifies it to be famous or worth more. 

Alan does some nice work tho.   I've run into him a few times.

[bull]

Nice car but I've never seen anyone paint exhaust manifold orange before. 

Now that you mention it, Brian, WTH is going on in this picture? Why do that, so it doesn't get flooded with toxic waste? Some sort of white trash hoist?

[Charger_Fan]

The driving lights are missing...or is he still restoring those?

Regardless, that's cool that it's finally gotten restored.

Exhaust manifolds were commonly oversprayed when the engine was painted.   It burned off.   Just ask the resto squad.   

Yeah... a white trash hoist is as good an explanation as any.

Ya no kidding, those guys on Moparts either love it or hate it.  Its comical to read the bashing back and forth..

Ah, the resto squad. Sounds like fun. Or not.

The fog lights weren't optioned on that particular car, likely bought by a previous owner and installed.
And as he's going back to dead stock, they're not going back on.

I agree with the whitewalls too....don't look quite right.
But again, that's what the broadcast sheet called for, so there they are.
