This site was dedicated to the restoration of the Alpine White AAR Cuda BS23J0B282237. We restored the car from 2000-2006 and sold this car on eBay in December of 2007. We have been receiving questions and such about the car lately including from some folks that are interested in the car now that were interested when we had it for sale. Many other AAR owners have been watching this car since we first bought it and started chronicling it on our website. We are told it is for sale again by some place that specializes in collector cars. Since I sold it to a private party, a guy out of Missouri, I can only guess he wound up selling the car to someone else afterward. We are not affiliated with them, don't know them, nor have they contacted us to discuss, ask for, or confirm any information about the car.

We are not responsible for any claims they or any other seller makes regarding this car so please do not email us to complain they are saying this or that about the car, or that they aren't answering their phone. We don't know them.

I can only speak of when we had the car and sold the car, some before, nothing after. When we sold our car it had what we were told was, and believe to be, the matching numbers block (not installed). That block was cracked. May be fixable, may not be. It appeared to have the car's numbers and had the part number "3577130.T.A.340.8". I built up a replacement TA block that I had bought in 2001 instead. It was part "3577130.T.A.340.7" and that block had no vin on its vin pad. This was the block installed at the time we sold our car and the block still had a blank vin pad when we sold it. The person that bought the car from us also received the damaged block. I have no idea what was done after we sold the car. I don't know if they repaired the original block or anything else about it, ask them.

As for the miles it was a little under 107000 miles. I don't think we even drove it a mile while we had it. We bought the car mostly apart and the timing was bad when we got it back together so it didn't get driven.

Lastly, yes the car is an original 4-speed car. Check the fender tags. It is not the matching numbers 4-speed but is an original 4-speed car. When we sold the car we made it quite clear to the person who purchased the car from us that it was not the numbers matching 4-speed and this was also mentioned right inside the eBay auction. It's still an A-833 but just not the one the car was born with. As I recall it was a 71 A-833. That doesn't mean it wasn't a 4-speed from the factory. It was and the fender tags prove that. It just does not have it's original 4-speed from the factory. I don't know if it was originally a console car. I have no good way of knowing.

To see our www.cathys-cuda.com website as it existed when we had the car for sale on eBay (and sold it on eBay) go here. Note, the pictures have been removed but you can see what verbage existed and the layout. To see a cached version of www.cathys-cuda.com that was still in place in January 9, 2008 go here. That is the version that Live(tm) had captured in a webcrawl January 9th, 2008 and cached. This is further indication of what our website looked like at the time we sold the vehicle. Note there was no mention of the car being "matching numbers" anywhere on the sale version of www.cathys-cuda.com or the 4-speed being the matching numbers 4-speed.

We sold the car on eBay in December of 2007. To see the auction information go here.

For more information about this car email "cathys.cuda@yahoo.com". We had the car from 2000 - 2007 and were the ones that restored it from 2000 - 2006. The car's history has been somewhat documented and circled through some Cuda enthusiasts and their sites.
