Mine wasn't SS/DA, but I loved the old paint that was on it when it raced back then... One of the SS/DA cars I saw for sale about 4 years back looked just like a stock shacker hood Cuda with a real nice stance and racing wheels and a cage. Literally, there wasn't almost anything that let you know it was capable of the et it was except the cage. Anyways, here's pics of mine back in the day. ![](http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp357/cudahalr/70HemiCuda/88.jpg)

Wow, thats very impressive, a real Hemi car that was thrashed on the strip 40 years ago but survived to be a low milage stocker. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
I had found a couple of pics of your car on the net but didn't know what it looks like now until you posted the pic above. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bow.gif)
Was it ever tubbed? What size tires did you run?
My car is only a factory 383 Barracuda so as long as I dont cut it up, twist it or bend it, it wont loose much value so I intend driving the car on runs, drags & just getting it out & having fun even at US$5.70 a gallon for gas in NZ.

Yep, I too would give my left nut for a factory Hemi car but I'd probably have to treat it a bit better & that would mean I'd miss out on some of the fun things I do now like -

As you can see, I have a ball in my old 383 car so I cant wait to get the dual plug 604 Hemi in it with a solid roller cam, dual quads etc, I think it will be a bunch more fun yet! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/punkrocka.gif)
