I bought my project `70 A66 Challenger a year and a half ago and have been accumulating parts for it since. It has been up for sale recently to pay for a couple of B-body projects, but I think I am going to end up keeping and restoring all of them, now if I could just keep myself from buying anymore!. BTW my dad has had his `71 Challenger converetible for about 14 years.

I got my current e-body a year and a half ago. I drove it only a few times, then tore it down and have been rebuilding it ever since. The finished product is only about a week out.

[Cudaized]

I have owned many cuda's. I got my first one new in May 1970 it was originally a 340 4spd, ultra-violet, black top, this engine was soon replaced by a 440 +6 built by S&K speed in Long Island, NY.We did a lot of street racing back then. This is the only picture I have of it, this is my wife sitting on the trunk when we were dating. I sold it just before we got married and about six months later she convinced me to get another one because she knew I missed my car. I bought my present cuda from the original owner in 1978. It is an original V code 1970 4spd with a 4:10 dana. It has been painted twice, other than that it is original. Since then I have bought and sold a yellow 70 AAR, Black 71 R code Hemi,and a burnt orange 74 360. Although we have been through some tough times she never let me sell this one. 32 years later we are still together and I still have my car.

2-1/2 years so far. This is my 3rd one. Always projects cars. Never seem to ever get them to the point of where I can drive one.
Getting ready to do the 25.5 cage, building a Keith Black twin turbo Hemi for it to run 10.5 & Drag Radial classes.
