Very Cool Cuda, my dad still has his 1967 Formula S notch back coupe (1968 340-4speed 8 3/4 4:11powered) that was his high school car (bought in 1973). Grew up around those A bodies when i was growing up, dad has a lot of Dusters, dart and valiants. I always will have a soft spot for them.

Very nice. I had a 66 when I was a kid. I loved the 273. It was a screamer for a small block. I could spend a whole day of what I thought was fun just adjusting the valves and tweaking the dwell and timing.

Hey! You gonna give us an under the hood picture?

Thanks guys. This is my first A-body. Grew up on E-body cars but when I saw this one I immediately feel in love. Factory 4spd and red had me hooked. If you guys couldnt tell by my stable of mules. Red is my favorite color.

Very nice! I always thought those looked just right from the grille to the rear, love the fastback with slight curve, looks fast just sitting there.

Rareform!

thanks madhat, what I meant was intended towards those people who are out there that seem to want to point out every little imperfection. Instead of seeing a gorgeous and rare 45 yr old car for what it is. A nice car. Those people annoy me and quite frankly pi## me off.
I happen to enjoy cars and trucks because my dad had me hooked into Mopars from day one (my initials RAM). Its truely a great hobby that if taught early a father/son or daughter can enjoy together and have memories that last a lift time. Thats all.
I am soon to be 32yrs old and next month will also be celebrating my 14th year at my job. I have a great work ethic and great attendance. I work extremmely hard for my money (as I know everyone on here does as well) and when the thought of buying something that one day I dream of teaching my son or daughter to drive a manual in is priceless to me. Guys, thank you all for the heart felt compliments and incouragements. I cant wait to maybe one day drop something bigger and maybe a little more powerful under its hood and take to Mason Dixon drag way (like responsible people do) to get to play in it and see how fast it really is. I LOVE THIS WEBSITE! Everyone is always so positive and friendly. Not like other websites with immature members who are jealous and always want to put down or try to embarass others. Thank you
