OK, so it took me a few to get here. But I'm here.

About me? I own a 1973 Cuda, 4spd. It was built with a 340 and 3.23 gears, but I didn't get it that way. I've had it since I'm 21 and it was the best $600 bucks I spent. Not much has changed on it since owning it. I've just been street racing it like mad. Run hard and put away wet.

Last configuration was a 10-1, MP 360 short block with a Edelbrock heads and Air Gap, Carter 750 and Hooker Super Comp headers, 4 spd, 4.10's.
Fun street machine.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Adam's right, there goes the hood! LOL!

I'll get some pictures of the Cuda in the spring if I get to work on it. It ain't preety! (Fair warning given)

I sold Rob parts for his Barracuda before I sold mine. That was over 5 years ago. It was in the garage then too, LOL

Thats right! I just blew up the engine racing that year. Only a few months earlier I think it was. I'm in the final strech of a new 360 now.
Balance the assembly, gaskets and bearings, oil pump. Other mickey mouse stuff.....

I'm in a money crunch and waiting for the wife to hear back on employment. (She's a new RN. So for now, I screw around with the duster.)
I collect parts for the Cuda and wait it out. It's my only good choice I have. OR drive the rust bucket further into the grave.
Anytime I can swiing a deal for parts, I do it. It just has to be a screaming deal for me to jump on it now.

I got a drivers door for $50 a little while ago. Complete, everything, bolt on and go deal. Glass, mirror, window fuzzies, door panel, everything!
