Quote: Sox & Martin,what else is there but a Cuda`.? LUST at 1st sight.
Being 6bblFLASH's little brother, it made perfect sense to want a Cuda too. However being dumb (age 15 in 1985) and poor, my first and only chance was a worn out 65 Barracuda. Thought it was butt ugly, but it was a "Cuda" like my brother's car, so it had to be cool.
After he re-built and painted it, jacked it up and put Cragars and Cheery Bombs on it I was HOOKED. It had to be old and ugly. So it's early A-bodies or nothing for me. I can still remember the look on my Mom's face when the "little old lady" car that I bought came home 6 months later as a hot-rod. She about had a heart attack.
Now gladly the owner of a 63 Valiant. Might not be the most sought after car in the Mopar family, but it gets more attention on the street, at the track and at the Mopar Nats than many of the expensive/popular models.
The pic is 6bblFLASH and I at the 2009 Nats. Good times indeed.
