In early 1972, I found a "rolled-over" '71 Dodge Demon with that exact powertrain (4-speed) in a junkyard (13,000 miles on the car) and bought the whole shebang from fan to rear end (3.91) for $500.00 and dropped it into a '64 Valiant 2-door sedan.
Everything just bolted in, including the driveshaft, which I never understood, because the Demon's wheelbase was 2" longer.... I only had to change the speedometer cable and the oil pressure sending unit (and run the lower radiator hose to the other side.) With some 7" slicks left over from my sedan delivery days, and fenderwell headers (the stock manifolds were too wide), a 4.56 gear and a Lunati, "Riddler" cam, it ran mid-12's.... with the otherwise stock engine. This one came with a 750 cfm Thermoquad (first year for it.) A fun street car for very little $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

My personal all-time favorite Mopar (other than a SS/AH car) is a 1967 RO23 Street Hemi Plymouth. I think it came from seeing slides as a kid of the Maddia Brothers '67 car (now Danny Smith's) SS/DA.
My favorite Chevy body is a 1966 Chevelle (because of Dan Scott's car in the real NMCA Pro Street wars). Ford, probably a '68 Cobra Jet Mustang convertible would be my dream car.

1. 440 six pac cuda with the high impact orange

Unfortunately, Santa Claus only limited me to a Lucky '7'.
Many other great choices out there. I had to put the 69' 440 Cuda "M" Code in their, because I had one. For shear excitement, the 69' Cuda was a monster, mainly because you weren't sure if those little drum brakes would stop the car. And manual steering too, like driving a truck. Not the greatest car to drive for a long distance, but for a mile or so, like the 'wildest'' roller coaster ride. I miss that car! Steve Hagberg, Yes, the 1964 A-864 Savoy Race Hemi is probably the rarest. All aluminum nose, 'doors', front radiator support, and some with an aluminum bumper. The first with 'Corning' glass, and liteweight seats. The lightest of the early cars at #3200 lbs. With an automatic transmission and 4.56 gears, would make an excellent 'Sunday Go-To-Church-Car' Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 07-13-2010 at 11:40 AM. |

Dodges, thats another story...from Darts, to Demons, to Challengers, to lil reds, to warlocks, to D-150's and D-350s. Maybe one day a SS/AH might grace the garage....A cuda would be nice, a Dart even nicer though. Myron is correct though, a AAR cuda is just stunning.
