Last night I finally got this one coming home! A 1970 Cuda 383! This will look great next to my 65 barracuda! Yep I am fully excited to get this project started. I am gonna keep this as original as possible.
I know this is an A body forum but...

Looks real good, you got some a few dented panels to deal with but it doesn't look like there is a lot of rust on it.
Keep the pics coming!

Oh my! I would go through the mechanics and drive it as is! You can't pay for patina paint like that! NICE !!!!

This has some rust to deal with, but it is manageable! Should be sweet!
How about a photo of the fender tag? Let’s see what it has.

Great car great color. I am a fan. And yes I used to be on the E body sight. Make no mistake you will find this thread more informative more forgiving and just plain more helpful. I cannot begin to tell you the money this sight has saved me, the labor hours avoided, and the friendships created. Welcome to best car forum ever. And yes I too have an E body. They still tolerate me!

Restore it, Dont part it!
I just picked up an ebody as well! Wish mine was that solid!
FABO is well rounded site, lots of members have E and B bodies, some even admit to owning brand X and Y cars too!

That's a damn nice and solid looking find. Was it an older and neglected restoration that deteriorated, or is it original,

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
It looks like a great project, I always loved the '70 'Cudas.
How about some interior shots?
Does it run and drive, or what does it need to get on the road?
Personally, I would get it running and driving as is (with all of the safety stuff done of course) and enjoy!
Then maybe resto it later...........

Poor ole girl. Glad to see shes gonna get some love. Texas tag tells the tale. A semi arid environment really slows down the rust.

Love me some round tailights!
I have three A bodys, and E body and three B bodys. They are all welcome here.
I would be tempted to throw on a new top and keep that original paint. People love patina these days. Suddenly all my cars are now more valuable. Replace the word rust with patina.
