Dang, almost made me drool on the keyboard.That is a cool find! Im going to assume they couldn't find a period correct 426 as why they went to a 72.
Agreed. I like the Coronets.Dang, almost made me drool on the keyboard.
The car came out of a wrecking yard in the 70's,and it's original drivetrain had already been stripped out it.If i remember the story on the car,it was originally sold in Alberta,and was street raced up till the original motor blew up,then it went to a wrecking yard.That is a cool find!

Well duh Cuda's were probably the best looking muscle car.I mean, they're okay. If you like old man cars.
I was always more partial to Plymouth

Shocking that they junked it. Glad someone saved it tho.The car came out of a wrecking yard in the 70's,and it's original drivetrain had already been stripped out it.If i remember the story on the car,it was originally sold in Alberta,and was street raced up till the original motor blew up,then it went to a wrecking yard.
I grew up with this 71 Hemi Charger,lol. Car was butt ugly in my opinion as a kid,the only redeeming feature it had was when the air grabber was flipped up,lol. I used to get picked up at high school fairly often in it,and also had the pleasure of replacing it's water pump when i was 16,it was also the only time i got to drive the car,as i told my Uncle Andy the only way i was gonna replace the water pump was if i got to drive it,he and my Dad drank beer while i changed the water pump,and they'd drank enough beer by the time i was done,my uncle threw me the keys,and my buddy and i took it for a drive,at well over a 100 mph on gravel roads no less,lol.I still remember my buddy grabbing the dash when i got it up past a 100 on a gravel road,lolI mean, they're okay.

Probably? PROBABLY?!Well duh Cuda's were probably the best looking muscle car.
Cuda or Charger work for me. But alas think them days long gone. No way now I could afford buy restored pI mean, they're okay. If you like old man cars.

I still think 72 and 73 Cuda's were the best looking cars built. There were a few of them at my high school in the mid to late 70's. Growing up in a fairly well to do farming community in the 70's meant every kid had either a muscle car,or a brand new truck,lol. We wrecked alot of beautiful cars as kids,aarrgghh,makes me sad to think of the cars that my generation wrecked as kids.Well duh Cuda's were probably the best looking muscle car.
No one new back then. I mean its the same way with the Foxbodies and F bodies. Wrecked or left for dead. No one knew jack squat.I still think 72 and 73 Cuda's were the best looking cars built.

RIGHT!!!Dang, almost made me drool on the keyboard.
Fair enough. The '71 grill looks best to me, especially in anthracite. But I'd love to have any early 70's 'Cuda.I still think 72 and 73 Cuda's were the best looking cars built.

I bought a 74 Valient with the mighty leaning tower of power to use as a winter beater in the early 80's,couldn't kill that old slant 6,and i tried,but the car got the nickname "slug" from my buddies,as it wouldn't get out of it's own way,even downhill with a tailwind,lolFair enough.

I grew up in a less well to do farming community in the 70's. We all drove beat up old hand me down cars and pickups LOL. I mean, my first car was a '66 malibu 4-door (283 2-speed powerglide) I bought from my parents for $100. My sisters nick-named it Humble.
When I got together with wife #2 in 1984, she had a 74 Dart, slant 6. Clanked and moaned, groaned, etc, BUT U could not kill it. If it is not a rust heap somewhere, bet it still running. Kinda miss the sound of those old slant 6 starters turning over, a well known, familiar and pronounced sound.I bought a 74 Valient with the mighty leaning tower of power to use as a winter beater in the early 80's,couldn't kill that old slant 6,and i tried,but the car got the nickname "slug" from my buddies,as it wouldn't get out of it's own way,even downhill with a tailwind,lol
