AAR, I think that grille looks kind of cool.

Yeah, I liked the look of the 71 cuda grill so that's what I did.   The thing is I didn't realize how valuable they would become and felt bad I destroyed a perfect grill.   I sold the bezel rings on ebay a few years ago for $175. 

:iagree: Is that a huge calculator on the console??   :chatting:

Wally that was a musical horn.   It had all kinds of sound effects and musical diddys.  You can also see a CB radio that I used for a PA system to yell at people to get out of the way, Cuda comming through...

Yeah, I like the grille, but the interior ... not so much  :bigsmile:

Great photo's and stories.

I don't have any pictures of me by any of my cars because I'm too bashful.
My 1st car was a 77 Camaro with a 6 banger ( cheap insurance ) and sold it 2 years later for a 72 Cuda 340.
I butchered it by installing a 71 cuda grill and modern headlights.  I also stuck fuzzy fur all over the dash and interior panels.  Sold it in 1985 for $3,000 to help pay for my current car.



That fuzzy fur must've been a '72 option, I have it too!  :bricks1: :roflsmiley:   I do love the work you did on the grill!!!  :thumbsup:

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I don't have much but here is a shot at the track of the Stock eliminator car around 1990 or so.

I wish I had more pics but I didn't get the shutter bug until digital cameras came out

When I actually had hair! I purchased this hemi cuda about 1976. had fun for a couple of years and moved on to other things. Left it with my bro to sell for me and that's the end of it! Did I say it was a 392 when I purchased it? :roflsmiley:
I ran it with a stock 440 motor. Couldn't tell you anything else about it! May have been a real hemi car for all I know! :banghead:

This thought may not be politically correct, but is an opinion offered. It may be correct? or it may be wrong? It is not designed to appease those needing shelter from the real world.

 Pretty cool times I bet CG. Do any of you still have the cars? That Vette is a keeper for sure also.

Sadly, they are all gone.  The Charger was an original 440, 4-speed, Dana.  GTO 389 3-deuces.  Corvette - 427/435 tripower 4-speed.  We rebuilt all 3 engines, in fact the 427 was carried to the machine shop in the trunk of the Charger.  Good times....
