I dont add up the costs. I dont save reciepts. I dont want to know. Thats the best way. I also bargain shop the **** out of the internet. 15% off ebay sales sitewide i am there, 30% off at yearone why thank you. Yes the darts look like they are moving when standing still. With a fair amount of fiberglass, and aluminum parts you can trim one down to 3,000 lbs. Thats pretty light.
Mopar being the 3rd largest US automaker could never go head to head with GM or Ford. Their design and engineering department was only 1/10th the size of GM. Being that small you cant beat them head to head, you have to outflank them. And you do that with lots of innovation, and bad *** styling. With GM and Ford duking it out during the 60s, chrysler was able to steal market share that way.
I have 2 barracudas a 67 coupe, and a 69 coupe. The 69 i am collecting up parts for to do a restoration on with my son in a few years. He will have to put in sweat equity and a bit of his own money to own the car. My 67 is about 40% done. I work a lot so nothing ever happens. Plus we are in mid summer here. 108° F or 42.22° C in west Texas. I cut my lawn this morning at 7:00 AM while it was only 81°F or 27.22° C. Tinkered in my shop then realized i'm sweating and not doing anything strenuous. Time to go in the house. Yesterday i got in my car to leave work, it was 114° F - 45.55° C on my dashboard display. When the heat is like this you work early morning,.late evening, and stay inside in the middle of the day. Its like living in a roasting pan.
