2002 Mopar Nationals OE Gold Certified


1974 360 Cuda






Welcome to my web page.My name is Bob Czachorowski and this is a site for my brother Jim's 1974 Gold Certified 360 4 speed Cuda.Jim has owned this car now for 6 years.When we completed back in 1998 ,it won 1st place in E body Original at the Mopar Nats.The following year we competed in the senior division of judging at the Nats, but did not fare well against the other competition.Remember this only a 1974 Cuda,and it was going up against the best Hemi,440, E and B body cars there are.Well it is a 1974 360 Cuda ,one of only 398 4 speed cars ever built.We were really lucky in finding this car, as it came with complete owner history and original purchasing paper work.We found it to be the perfect candidate for OE certified judging at the Nats.Jim has won E body modified at the Nats back in 1988 with another 1974 360 four speed cuda that he still owns today.That car unlike its twin,which currently has a 440-6 pack engine residing in place of its original 360 engine.It someday may be restored back to its original configuration, but right now its Jim's cruising car.
