That's awesome, like everyone says, keep dreaming the dream!

....  Wait a minute, they still teach auto shop in high school?!  That's GREAT! I was beginning to think it had been dropped everywhere. WooHoo!

welcome to the site. Auto shop is great! I loved my time in there, but I had it 3 periods a day for two years in the vocational program. This is the best site to get your knowledge up on these cars. There is always something new being posted.

Again, welcome.

WElcome!

You need to purchase a pocket code book.

Chrysler Corporation production option code book 1969-1971
I have the sixth edition and take it everywhere with me.
Has all the color codes and options for these cars.

Keep dreaming, you'll get there.    Read all you can here.  This is by far the best site for these cars on the net!

Welcome   :wave: what a great introduction.

Keep your dream alive and your 71 cuda will be at the end of the rainbow in your future.

I was 13 years old in 1979 when I first dreamed about owning a 71 cuda........took 22 years but is worth the wait.

Welcome to the site young man! You're at a good age to get started and may I suggest starting out with a less expensive version and learning/working/saving your way up to your dream? You'll never regret gaining the knowledge and you'll have some fun, as well.  :wave:

Welcome to CC.com. When I was your age I was into hot rods and I had some older neighbors that had some sweet Mopars. I was hooked. I started with Chevy, but got my first Barracuda when I was still in high school. I made payments and bought it with my own money. Keep saving & keep your eyes open. You'll find that deal and soon be on your way to being a Mopar owner!!  :woo:
