What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?

I was in high school in the mid '80s, was out cruising Saturday night with a friend. Saw an orange '70 Dart mini tubbed with tunnel rammed 440. I'd seen other street/strip cars but this thing had an effect on me...the look, the stance, the rumble and roar of that 440 hooked me on Mopars and A-bodies from that point on. After looking at other A-bodies with a new perspective I ended up falling in love with the '67-'69 Barracudas. I've owned a couple different Darts, and currently building a Valiant, but never had a Duster/Demon.

I got to know the owner of that orange Dart, and had a chance to buy it, but passed on it because it would just end up sitting forever as I already have too many projects.
