New guy from Amherst NY
« on: May 10, 2008 - 11:21:43 PM »
Hey guys my name is Dave and im happy i finally found a great Cuda' and Challenger site to look for ideas and tips for my Challenger.  Well my first and only car which is my daily driver is a 1974 Challenger with a 360 four barrel, 727 auto, and a Suregrip rear. Not much seems original on this car, me and my dad bought this car when i was 8 and have had it since. The car was is great shape when we got it. Over the years the vinyl roof  cracked and water got in damaging the steel so thats why the roof it is just primed right now.  Currently it has AMC rims that the last owner had on the car. Next year im am either going to build up the 360 in the car now and find a 4spd for it or find a bigblock and build that up. I love this car to death and am never thinking about letting it go no matter the price.
