    hello
    « on: July 08, 2007 - 03:03:38 PM »
    Been looking for a good mopar board, and found this one.  Lots of helpful info on here.  I am a member on LS1tech.com, and I am casually shopping for a cuda or challenger.  I currently have a 400 rwhp 99 WS6 Trans Am, that I will keep even with the purchase of the mopar.  My dad had a 69 383 roadrunner years ago that he bought new, my uncle had a 65 Barracuda 340/3 speed, that now sits out back of my dad's house for the past 18 years, and my dad has a 66 barracuda that now holds my uncles 340 in it, backed by a 727.  So I have been around mopars my whole life.  My wife agreed to hold off on the purchase of a 60's fbody for her, so I can shop for the mopar.  anyways, just wanted to introduce myself.

    Welcome.  :wave: Keep up the search and good luck! They are still out there. Patience. I waited 20 yrs to find another 70 Challenger conv in good condition and in my price range. Had one in HS. Got married and started a family. Almost 40 now and I enjoyed the hunt even though sometimes it was very dissappointing. You'll find one. :2thumbs:
