Your first uncorked trip, to the muffler shop...

I was given a 440 powered c-body wagon by a guy I knew who hung at the shop I was working at in south Philly. He had his own garage and let me pull the drivetrain out there. I found a '73 Cuda' in the tradin times for $600 that was missing its 318. The car was manual disc brake, 727, no a/c, powerbulge hood and 3.91 sure grip. Didn't take me long to pull the small block trans and get the big block in the car. I used two short sections of the c-body y pipe to get the car running and drive it from philly to concordville which is about 25 miles away to another shop to hook up the dual exhaust to the y pipe stubs. Man that car was LOUD! And a whole lot of fun too. It ran mid thirteens at 102 at the track and none of my buddies cars could beat it.
