« on: December 13, 2010 - 03:24:32 PM »
Finally have my car just about where Ive wanted it, and realize I havent posted pictures in here. Sharing these because I think it looks and drives great, and this time of year in S. Florida I can really enjoy it with the shows and cruise ins. These are some of my favorite shots.
Thanks for everyones help and advice....so far :bigsmile:

VERY, VERY NICE! I love the photos -- your car looks fantastic! I'm particularly fond of green '71 Cudas (as that is what I have too). Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! My cuda is done (finally), but it's still at the restoration shop for fine tuning. I haven't seen the car since late November, but i hope to soon. I can't wait to bring her home!

Great looking car!  :thumbsup:

Looks especially fun with the Pistol Grip shifter!  :grinyes:

Tower shops?
No, never heard of it, but I do sometimes take it to Bettys Burgers (fka Fuddruckers) on the first saturday of each month.
Thats a great cruise in, and mine is not even close to being the nicest mopar there, much less nicest car. But it's one of my favorites :bigsmile:
Usually have a few ford gt's, cobras, and cars of that "ilk", and a couple real nice classic challengers occasionally come. Its not unusual to see a few dozen 6 figure cars there.
Of course, its not about the money, or the value. Theyre all cool.
This is the time of year I look forward to here.

I bet they have a lot of nice cars in lauderdale. Lots of $$$$ here in s. florida.
Always amazes me.

Tower Shops is at 595 and University.    I 'll have to go down south to your  show.  Used to go to the Bike nite at Fuddruckers on my sport bike.  Only a couple of Mopars up here,  only have seen 1 Chally  1970
No other   E bodies.

wish I could say I built it, but...I bought it already built pretty much as you see it 18 months ago.
I knew I didnt have the patience, skill, tools, garage space, etc, so I just took the time to find a car built the way I wanted it.
But I have added hundreds of hours cleaning, modding, upgrading certain things, and I think it really shows.
Thanks for all your comments.
