Hi All,
Hi, my name is David and I live in Panama City, FL.
I knew about this website because of Sleepychallenger (Drew) around September 2007.
It has been my pleasure to me a member of CC .com so far. I usually spend my time off searching for parts for my 73 Barracuda and reading the posts on CC.com. I have not been posting as I should, but I do a lot of reading on this website.
I will give you some background info on how I got into the Mopar world. In the beginning I was a Ford guy, I owned a 2004 mustang and I was in the search for an old 69, 70 fastback. Mustangs were the only muscle cars I knew about, and yes I had heard about Superbirds, Chargers, Cudas, and Challengers but I was not too familiar with them at all.
My interest on MOPARS started around January 2005, my wife and I were visiting her parents down in Mexico.
After many hours of driving down south and around 5 minutes from my wife’s town I noticed a muscle car sitting next to the highway, in front of a house. This car really caught my attention and I fell in love with it as soon I as saw it, love at first sight without a doubt
. So I pulled over as soon as I could to take a closer look at it, the car was a73 charger.
The car happened to be owned by a 45 year old woman, so I found out where she lived and went to her house to ask her if she was interested in selling the car. Unfortunately she said no
, the car had already been sold for the equivalent to $1100 US dollars!!! to another member of her family. To make this story shorter, I went to the person she sold it to and after offering $1500US dollars on the spot with money on hand he said NO
. I was very disappointed, but that did not stop there.
I spent the next two years trying to get a cool MOPAR. One day looking on e-bay I ran into a 73 Barracuda for sale, and it was around the same price I was willing to payfor the B-body. The Barracuda was going to need some bodywork, but for some reason I found it more appealing than the 73 Charger, so I bought it. I considered myself very fortunate to own one of the hottest Mopars ever made. Until this day I have been in love with my Barracuda and a proud E-body owner.
And I know.....
