Now you went and made me remember Fran. She was a cute little daddy's girl I dated summer of '76. She drove a yellow 4spd 440 6-pack 'Cuda (and so did I

). Talk about a handful! Now, about that car...

**Sheepdip** · 02-01-2024, 12:26 PM

A couple of "Cuda" experiences.....Our neighbor next door when I was growing up was 3 years older than I. In 1970 he bought a brand spanking new Cuda 440/6pak/4spd white with a black vinyl top. I was in absolute awe of the acceleration that car had, in other words...yes I lusted for his car. I ran into him several years ago and he told me the car went away after he got married and a baby was on the way, it was all about economics.

Sometime in the mid 90's a local collector car dealer had a low mileage 70 Hemi Cuda/4 spd on his sales floor, orange with a black vinyl top Price was $40k. I knew exactly where the price on this car was headed, no where but up.....way up. 652 Hemi Cudas were built in 1970 with 14 as convertible's which are now in the million dollar range.
I had the first of three children getting ready to start college and it just was not doable...it's all about economics, timing and priorities for us working stiffs.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-06-2024, 01:03 AM

I put this sign on my bathroom door. If you ever went in there after me you would know that it's accurate. Number 2 is the worst after some refried frijoles.

**Chevyland** · 02-06-2024, 01:20 AM

Decoy Munoz haha I watch that dude all the time.

I bought a bottle of this for my son when I was at his house last summer.
My first foray into smokey Scotch. I have to say I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.

**special-K** · 02-06-2024, 09:35 AM

I'm very disappointed that my favorite beer (ale), Fat Tire, will no longer be offered in bottles...WHAT??? I told my liquor store guy they shot themselves in the foot, I'll have to start buying something else. "It isn't the same?" he asks. Not at all! Argh!! He said what I have is all there is, but I was comfortable spending the money for more than a 12-pack. Next time I came in I was delighted to find a 12-pack still in the cooler. He said after that last visit he found the distributor had 5 cases left and he got them all. I got paid for a job the next day, so I went back and bought a couple cases to stash. the next day I decided to get another case

. I really like that stuff!

Huh, I thought I was smiling. Oh well, I'm not to proud to put up my fugly mug. I'm not as young as I was when I joined this site going on 20 years ago
