Forty one years ago today I walked into the Plymouth dealership and placed an order for my 1973 cuda.  After leaving a $60 deposit I waited four weeks for my cuda to be built and delivered.  Little did I know that I would still have this car forty years later.

I remember seeing a car in the chebbie dealership in 79 or 80. It was almost $12,000! lol. I just shook my head and wondered who in their right mind would pay $12 gees for a new car when they could have a slightly used 'vette for less than that! lol. Sadly - I did not make the connection to Mopar stuff, or have the money to pursue it, lol.
