Thought I'd pop in and say Hello. I don't have a E body currently in my posession YET, but I'm on the desperate hunt. LOL Theres a 73 340 'Cuda 4 speed that just popped up, and I'm trying to get a price, and also bugging a neighbor for his 70 Barracuda 383 4 speed. Hopefully one of the 2 will work out. *fingers crossed*
My Mopar addiction started when I was pretty young, my dad bought from his dad a 69 Dodge Dart 340 GTS convertible. From there he started a Montery Bay Mopars in the late 80's and put on shows for a few years up until the early 90's. During that time, I bought my first car. It was a 73 Barracuda 318, 3 speed on the floor, power steering and manual disks, but had a Cuda hood and dual exhaust factory. From there I plugged in a 340 w/A833 4 speed, rear sway bar, and ralley dash. I drove her for quite a few years then sold her. I have no real idea why, and have regret it bitterly since.
After that I had a 70 383 Challenger, auto with column shifter and split bench seat, total bondo bucket.
A 72 Challenger Ralley complete driver but another car that sat by the sea too long.
A 70 Barracuda shell ex drag car.
By luck some years later I turned up another 70 340 'Cuda, B3 blue, buckets, auto with console shift. Drove her daily for a couple years, but my fiancee at the time hated the car because "it made her neck hurt", so I sold it and bought her a car. Grrrrr... Hindsight is always 20/20, should have kicked her to the curb, but being young and dumb.....
After that I picked up a 73 Challenger, 318, but was munched hard on the right side. Totally cool car, had all ralley bits aside from the dual exhaust. Unfortunately when I moved I couldn't take it with me to finish it so another one sold.
Recently I pulled this car out of a tow yard, 73 Challenger Ralley. It needed everything! Had been hit on the left side. Started collecting parts, then the owner of the house I was renting got forclosed on. Had to sell fast and find another place to live.
Again got lucky and turned up 74 360 Ralley with automatic. Got to wrenching but ran into some financial issues and away she went.
Anyways, thats my story in a nutshell.
