I lived in Alaska for 20+ years. About 12 years ago I found a 1970 440-6 Cuda untouched with 32,000 miles. It had been locked in a SeaLand container on Kodiak Island since 1978. I got the car for 8500.00 and paid 600 to ship off the island. It had rust, but nothing was missing. 10,000 later I had it all but restored. I rebuilt the 440 and it was still on a stand, but all was ready to install. At that time I did the same thing I do now. I make performance converters for performance, and OE applications. I sold my machine shop and invested in the second biggest gold mine in Alaska. Two years that Cuda sat and did nothing.
Lost my ass in mining and sold the car for 20,000. That was in 1999. I had to sell 4 homes, and many assets to cover my stint in mining.

I learned much over the years it took to recover, but regret selling that Cuda more then anything else.
I have owned many mopars in my life, but this Challenger is for the Cuda I lost.
