I hear ya, when I was in High school I wanted a Cuda, Well everytime the auto locator came out they were sold before I called the owner. So I settled for a 1969 Camaro and restored it and owned it for 15 years. I too got board seeing 1st gen Camaro's everywhere and I always ended up checking out the Mopars at car shows. I then became bored with it and sold it 4 years ago "yeah I miss it I put allot of time into it". Then 2 years later the itch came back for an old car but it was for a Mopar. I was realistic that Cuda's will never fit my budget, So I then remembered when I was 8 my neighbors were both 18 and 20 driving Dusters. They would paint there cars every 6 months outside no booth "funny now thinking about it the clouds of paint passing over our house" and throwing cams in and throwing wide Kragers on the rear. Boring story I know but that is what got me into liking old cars in the first place. I now own a 74 Duster, 360-4bbl, 4 spd, 3.23 sure grip! Some people think I'm nuts when I tell them I love this car better than my 69 Camaro! It road like ****, no trunk or room for kids. Dusters ride soooo much better, Plus every Mopar person I dealt with has been awesome from FABO to craigslist I have had nothing but open arms from Mopar folks. So thank you ALL!
PS Ford sucks! had to throw that out there!
