Good, then leave the #'s 68 R/T's to me.
Carl, serious question, I hope to not offend you.
For the entire time I've been on this site, its been '71 Triple Black Hemi Cuda for you. You bought one, and sold it. Was it too much of a disappointment? That car you bought I mean? I heard it was a mess, but I thought you said you bought all the sheetmetal and everything...
Again, not trying to offend you, just wondering. It's your $$, you can do as you wish.
You're all good mate. It was a mixture of things. Money, time involved to do it
right, lost interest and for someone my age with a house in the near future it was just a huge ask and a headache. Selling the 'Cuda was a huge relief to me. The only disappointment was the money I put in and lost on the 'Cuda. However, I had to stop a bad decisions from becoming a REAL bad decision. I'd hate to have spent $50K and be halfway through the body work then find it was costing too much then turn around and sell it.
I got exactly what I was after for the 'Cuda, a real good price considering it was "just" an acid dipped car with no engine/trans and needing
a lot of work. The panels in the end helped sell the car. I'm going from one dream car to another so it's no loss to me at all. Its a well know "fact" (for lack of a better word) that I love triple black 68 charger R/Ts on this board, maybe prior to you being here, I know many can vouch for this, to me, they are more sinister than TB Cudas. I looked at them before the 'Cuda but it was first in first served. I already have Lucy which is my show car and as we all know, there isn't much of a difference between the two cars interior wise so along with all the other reasons stated above, I thought it was a good idea to go B-Body and have two totally different cars. Now it's time to find a solid Charger, do it up, and have fun. I need something to drop the FHO Hemi into.
I've pulled the socks up and am moving on. My plans, like the 'Cuda for the most part. XVII Rear 3 link, XV1 front (to suit 15" rims), stiffening kit, stock appearing with hidden modern upgrades, nothing too serious, 540 Hemi and a built TF727 racing transmission, no OD, no frills, aiming for a lightweight badass straight line street brawler. Sorry for the long post but you did ask and it's the only way I can describe it, in greater detail.
Cheers,
Carl
