MEMBER RIDES

[JeffAARy]

Here is my current ride.  Matching numbers engine but not trans, BS code '71 Cuda 340.  I bought this car in January of 2007 from Dexter's in Green Bay.  This car was restored in Michigan in the mid 90's by a guy in a wheelchair and his friends.  It (along with several other cars) appeared on the cover of, and in, Mopar Muscle in October, 1997.  It also took third place at the Mopar Nats in 1996 for E Body modified.

The car was originally dark green with a black interior but was restored ALMOST EXACTLY as I would have ordered a 1971 Cuda way back when; hemi orange, dual painted mirrors, painted grille and valence insert, black billboard, no vinyl top or spoilers.  I couldn't believe it when I saw it for sale.  I would have preferred a 4-speed and AC, but I don't think I could have got any closer without doing it myself.

The real highlight of the car, though, is the ultra rare H5XV black/orange interior.  As of the writing of this thread only one other board member has this interior, and despite having been to most of the big Mopar shows and owning every Mopar magazine printed over the last 17 years I've only seen pics of 5 cars (mine and the other board member's included) with it.  For more info/pics see the thread below.  If you have more info/pics, please add to the thread!:

Future plans include Classic Air, Keisler 5-speed, a serpentine belt system (they look really cool), and fuel injection.

I've owned other Barracudas (blue AAR, red AAR project, red 70 GC droptop, 71 project 340) before that I've sold because I needed money or room, but this car will be with me until I die.  If I get low on $$$ again I'll empty my retirement fund before I sell this car.

I own a 1973 Cuda.  I am the original owner and my Cuda is currently the COTM which is an extreme honor for me.

Here are my rides: The dark blue Pontiac was my first US-car and i sold it last year. Yes, i know - it looked somewhat ricey.  The orange PT Cruiser is my daily driver. A special edition with interior matching the bodycolor. Like many others here in Europe i bought a diesel car as daily driver, because diesel fuel used to be (quite a lot) cheaper until recently. But now the oil industry reacted to the constantly increasing sales of Diesel powered cars and raised the price of diesel fuel above the price of regular gasoline.  But at least it's a Mopar and very reliable.

And finally there's my new Challenger. Will take a couple of weeks until i have all the homologations done to get it street legal here. You bet that i'm more excited than a child before Christmas...

ok here she is, still not much to look at but heres the pics of my baby. somday she will turn some heads , right now she just turns some stomachs . lol.
shes a 1970 Barracuda, no frills. 318 auto. originally green but will be plum crazy when i get that far. my plans for her powerplant are most likely going to be a 440 but depending upon fundage, she may just be a Hemi Cuda clone.

Here are a few pictures of my car. The first was from the 70's just before I got it for my first car. The others are from when I bought it back early last year.

Now I wish I had taken more pictures last summer.  Not that it would have looked much better, though....

Anyway here she is, as bought last spring.  '70 Chally, 383, 4-spd, 8.75 with 3.91's.  Not much of the car is original.  It was a 6 cyl car, which in my mind is a good thing, since I can do what I want without upseting many purists.

Since these pics, I've lowered the stance, installed new BFG's, tti headers, Blaster 2 coil and a new rear valence.  I've also recently bought a T/A hood and rear spoiler.

I feel very lucky to have stumbled onto this site.  Everyone has been great, and a lot of help.  This is definitely the best car site on the web!

Here's my long term project. I really should start a resto thread soon. I bought it a few years ago with a 340/auto as a project car. It's sort of "expanded" in terms of the project as usual.

6.1 Hemi
future TKO 600 5-speed or T-56 6-speed.
Coil over front/rear suspension


No......the ugly yellow and blue 80's paint will be gone very soon!

Wow, I thought I had already posted here a long time ago. Here's my baby. Bought it as is on Ebay in March of 2006 a few months before I got deployed. It was originally a 340 car, but now has a worked 440 putting out about 500 horses. I'd like to mini tub it and put a 472 hemi in it someday. The 68 Charger is my near daily driver I bought in August 2008. It's got a crate 360/390 hp.
