The good 'ol days. Drug this HEAP home winter of '94 from a dairy farm. Dropped in a STOCK 440, milled some 906 heads, used a Purple .484 stick, an old swap meet torker, an even older 750 DP...a manual VB in an otherwise stock 727, a OEM 11" converter and 3.91's. Then splurged on $200 worth of a paint job and some new wheels/slicks! Had about $3000 in it and had $100,000 worth of FUN!
Best of 11.64 @ 115 in mineshaft air. Typically 11.70-.80's. Always on 91 octane pump gas.
Sure gives me hope for my dart, i like seeing low budget cars that run good

This picture isn't too old, but the Cuda was owned by Dave Schmitz and my Dad's very good friend, Gary Sutton who raced the car for years. I have some memories of this car in "Uncle Gary's" garage. They'd fire up the Hemi (later to be a 440 car) and I'd run my 5 year old butt in the house. Gary won the 1992 Winter Nationals in the B/SA class after many years of racing the car. More recently the 70 Cuda was in Modesto with Dave Schmitz for a while, and I believe it is now over seas in Northern Europe.
