What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?

In 1971, senior year of high school, I saved a $1,000 down payment from my summer jobs and convinced my father to co-sign on a loan. I loved the all Mopars at the dealer at the time. A 340 Duster or Demon was the one I could afford. I test drove each and was smitten. The other deciding factor for me was that the factory A-Body exhaust system sounded better than the E-Body version. Then, out of nowhere, my dealer got a late model year transfer of a '71 Cuda 340 with 4 speed, shaker and 3.91 axle package. They offered a discount so I jumped. It turned out to be a flashy car but a lemon. Electrical issues. Mechanical issues. I had a list of 15 warranty items in the first week of ownership. Should have bought the A-Body!
