I have 6 other A-Bodies that I didn't mention (a '65 Formula S 'Cuda, a '71 Duster, '72 Demon, 2 '73 Dart Sports, and a '74 Scamp)

My '74 Duster is pretty "fugly" at the moment, I'm halfway through turning the car into a '71 340 Clone and then I have to roll it into the paint booth to finish it up before dropping the freshly built Blown R3 340 in.

Lovin the muscle car and the mullet!!! Ya gotta love the true craftsmanship that truly went into those classics!! Dont you miss when it was all made by hand? When people took pride in their work? By the way here is a pic of the judge I mentioned in the original post.



By the way, what caused the back axle of that vette pic look bent?

But ya, I love those old Dodge demon bodies! Here is a pic of one I really like:

I don't have a digital picture of it, that is a picture of a picture. I think the glass in the frame distorted the picture and make the axle look bent, it's not though.

I knew that was a pic of a pic, but I did not consider a light glare. Sweet ride though!! It is amazing how much of an attachment old rides can grow. Anyone else?

They're one of the hardest to find A-bodies anymore, due to them being available in '71 & '72 only.

My first car was a rare 1971 GSS Supercharged 340 4-Speed Demon (those of you who aren't familiar, google it. nasty cars right off the showroom) Wish I still had that car.

My dream cars are :

1970 T/A 340 6-Pack Convertible 4-Speed Challenger (any color)
1971 340 4-Speed Dodge Demon (preferably a GSS to replace the car I no longer have)
and a 1979 Plymouth Fire-Arrow with a Twin Turbo 340 / 4-Speed swapped in.

The Arrow would be suicide, like strapping a jet engine to a roller skate. IIRC they weighed in at about 1,400 pounds (with a 4-banger/5-speed/RWD) Add a Twin Turbo 340 / 4-Speed & 8.75" Rear and it might weigh 1,800 with full interior and every option. Sub-1,400 if the car was gutted
