Last week we told you about the cool Super Stock Savoy on ebay and that article turned out to be a pretty big hit so I thought maybe we’d try to find another cool classic this week up for sale. Turns out I didn’t have to look hard because my buddy Jake sent me this one last night. According to the seller it’s a real deal R code Hemi Cuda from 1970. Now he has no proof of that but who am I to argue? Obviously if you are doing the buying you’ll want to check out the tag to make sure that’s legit.
I suppose the first thing you will notice is that sweet vintage racing paint scheme. Well according to the listing this car was raced by Earnest Montgomery. No idea who that is and a simple google search turns up nothing at all. So… He may not exactly be a drag racing legend. Now whether or not this car has any real racing pedigree is beside the point. It’s damn cool. More photos and info after the jump.

Monday Commentary? communication breakdown edition
Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
The great thing about technology is it allows us to communicate with people across the world that we would never other wise meet. The bad thing about that is it can be finicky. As was the case this weekend when my laptop decided it didn’t need to connect to the internet any more. This made it tricky to work on IG as I was out of town on business. Back home now and using what I refer to as the worlds most expensive solitaire playing machine I have borrowed a destop for the afternoon to get work done.
The Sunday Commentary has morphed into the Monday Commentary and that means we do the week in review. This week was cold and snowy here at the IG offices. As you can imagine car events are few and far between this time of the year but looking at the extended forecast warm weather awaits on the horizon. Checking my calender the first car events are just around 6 weeks off which sounds like a long time but it will be here before we know it.
Let’s take a look at the week that was.
