The Mopar that slipped away
70 Duster 340 Panther Pink in Richmond, BC, painted yellow.. asking price 2400 in 1990? Went with cash in pocket, only to find owner talking to a fellow. I looked at the car, and saw the FM3 tag and dug out 24 C-notes. Other buyer's jaw dropped and I found out he had given the owner a $50 deposit to hold it until he sold his car. Seller was a standup guy and declined my offer, and I ended up befriending the new owner. Last time I saw him, he had painted it orange. Waaah.
69 Cuda 340-S 4-spd notch - white with blue interior in Langley. He had owned car from new having traded a 67 Barracuda for it. It was tight and drove like a dream. Unfortunately he had a red 69 'cuda 340 in the garage that made the notchie seem a little too plain, and I wanted that one lol..
69 Roadrunner 383 4spd. Painted orange (vit C?) - 2700 in Winnipeg. Think I saw it years later for sale in a shopping centre parking lot.
And (OK its my favorite blue oval) a 70 Boss 302 orange, striped and louvred - $4000 back in 85. Pretty sure it is the one I still see around. Ended up buying a 68 Barracuda, and the sickness hit :)
