Long ago, I started out with a '69 Charger, 383 4spd. I really enjoyed that car. I rebuilt the engine, 484 cam (in @ 105), dual plane, 750 DP. Only time I had it at the strip, it went 14.00@105. Not too bad for a 3.23 "one legger" on street tires. Car scaled at 3962#, with me in it.
Then, a short stint with a '70 Charger R/T 4spd car. After that, a '71 Cuda 340 4spd.
When I had the Cuda, I happened on a complete, rusted out '70 Challenger R/T 4spd car for $1200. Bought it, and swapped the Dana,18 spline, and Rallye dash, into the Cuda. Also freshened up, and dropped in my old 383. Was able to get a 12.8@112 in that car (also on street tires).
Along the way, a divorce, then a "shady" (Corvette) period ensued....I had a '70 454 4spd for quite a while , (w/Ultradyne solid lifter), currently have an '02 Z06 with a Vortech supercharger (638rwhp / 536tq).
Anyway, I'm ready to put the plastic cars behind me (California smog restrictions too ). I'm retired. I was a Heavy Equipment mechanic/Millwright, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for 26 years. I left there, and became a Generation Technician at a local power utility.
It was a 100MW "Peaker" electric generation facility. Basically, 2 natural gas fired 747 turbines (LM6000), 50MW each.
Also, I'm 63, and still ride sportbikes/crotch rockets.......so obviously, I'm not very bright.
PS, I can't stand "Vette" people either, I'm not interested in the "vette attitude". I'm just a "knuckle draggin" mechanic.
Purchased a '71, 6 pack Challenger R/T clone in December '20. Really nice, thorough build, 18 spline 4spd, Dana 60 (3.73).
