car that influenced me when I was young

My 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Opatka, had a hemi orange 69 Road Runner. Just a 383 car with the black stripe treatment on the hood. That car and at the bottom of the hill that I grew up on, there was a black on black 70 Cuda that just looked bad-***. The couple that owned it, used it to trailer their 70 triple Black Road runner to the track on an open trailer every weekend. I had to have a 70 Cuda! After my first 2 free Darts (74 4dr and then a 71 Swinger), a 71 Barracuda found me - and it was black! Yeah, I was cool in my mind. A kid 3 years behind me in school, wanted to be just as cool, ended up buying the 70 down the hill two years after I found the 71.
