I need a car cover

My dad's birthday is coming up in a week, and he really needs a car cover for his 70 Cuda. What are some good ones on the market, and what am I looking to spend on a good one?

Your honestly looking at no less then $150 bucks and you can get covers as much as $500. A 1970 Cuda is a pretty expensive toy so you don't want to go crappy on the cover. I spent $180 for a cover for my car, your looking for something that is waterproof and yet "breaths" so the moisture doesn't get trapped inside. The $50 cover I used to use had moisture build up over the winter 8 years ago and I found a lovely stain on the hood. Lucky for me it washed off when I got the car out but it could've been bad.
Just do some research first! Good Luck!

California Car Covers are about the best on the market. I have one that is nearly 20 years old for my Charger; granted, the car and cover have been garaged most of those years, but it's still in good shape. They have improved them since I bought that one also. They are certainly not cheap, but as Mike said, it isn't worth skimping on a cover for a '70 Cuda, either. Website link below.

I've had a lot of luck with the Budge brand from Kragen - 3 different levels from $40 - $75. If I had a 70' Cuda, I would call California car covers and geta custom one - $200+.

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
