Hey Spaz,
Great car!! Looks like a real labor of love. Nice color and especially the AAR stripes. I am partial to the "notchback" Cuda's and have a '68 notchback with a 360. That thing sounds wicked awesome. You've done a great job. Welcome to the site and thanks for sharing!!

Thanks,
You are right, it has been a labor of love, but mostly a love/hate relationship.
Seems that every time I get ahead one step, I get knocked two steps back which is mostly the reason it's take eight years to get to this point and I still have some bugs to work out.
I am still looking for an E-body which is what I've always wanted, but I fell in love with the A-body Barracuda's as well so I decided to build one with "borrowed" stylings from my favorite E-body the AAR 'cuda.
My dad had a 70 T/A Challenger that he sold when I was in fourth grade so I have always wanted something similar.
I have a quick "One that got away" story.
When I was a freshly married 19 y/o I had the chance to buy a 72 'cuda that had a 340/auto and a complete extra interior including seats for the pice of $1500 back in 1990.
The owner was going to jail for a while he said so the car had to go.
I could only scrape together $1100 and he would not budge even though I offered cash.
The car was gun metal gray and i remembered seeing it zipping around town for years by this guy and I always wanted that car, but I guess I missed my shot.
I often wonder what this car would be worth today, but I know the round taillight 'cuda's are not as desirable by some, but I kinda like them just as well as the 70-71's.
Any north georgia guys want to get together for weekend Mopar cruising look me up as i have quite a few buddies with Mopar that I can drag out for a Saturday or Sunday.
Since I've introduced myself I guess I can scare afew of you away with my ugly mug shot that only a Mother or and Undertsanding Wife could love.
