About Me
My AAR `CUDA
I had an opportunity to buy this 1970 Plymouth AAR `Cuda in 2004, pictured shortly after purchase, beach cruisin' in the AAR `Cuda. The car appears in the following publications:
- MOPAR Muscle Magazine: July 2008, page 74
- DRIVE! Magazine: January 2009, page 73
My First Car
My first car was a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, originally In-Violet, with a 318 cid engine, 2-bbl carburetor. At some point I installed an Edelbrock Intake Manifold with a Dual-line Holley carburetor (850 CFM); way too much for the little 318 engine! In 1976 as the original paint began to peel off, I had it painted it a slate gray. Here is a picture of it at MCAS El Toro, CA., VMFP-3 parking lot, while I was in the Marine Corps.
My Favorite Cars
My personal favorites are the muscle cars from the 60's and 70's. The Barracuda above was used as a trade-in at Selman Chevrolet in Orange, California, sometime during 1977, for this 1978 Z-28 Camaro.
My Newest Car
Today I drive a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 shown here on the show room floor, a birthday present from my wife in October 2010. Now that the warranty has expired, I installed a TTi CAT-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM, along with 'legacy' Challenger Style POLISHED EXHAUST TIPS which may be found here, they look and sound great!
