Lets Get Personal .....

[Hood]

My name is Larry. Robin Hood was my CB handle back in the early 70's and I went by Hood for short.

My dad owned but I got to drive each and everyone of his Mopars. He had a 65 Newport 383, 66 Dart 273, and a 72 Newport 400. I really liked the Dart.

After graduating from high school in 1972 I ordered my 73 Cuda in late September. I kept it in pristine condition and only drove it in nice Michigan weather. My beater car was the 65 Newport that I bought from my dad.

I got married in 1979, had 3 kids and struggled to make ends meet. The Cuda was almost put up for sale a couple of times. Thankfully things worked out and I still have my high school car.

I recently turned 69 and sometimes I feel my age, but when I get into the driver's seat of my Cuda all of that changes, I feel like I'm 18 again.

First of all, HAT'S OFF TO ALAN, because anyone who can make a living restoring cars for 32 years has got to be something special.

My name is Dan, and I am 61 years old. I got into mopars back in high school because when I was a little boy my uncle (who lived with us and shared my room for a while when he came back from serving in the Vietanm war) bought a 68 charger and I always thought that was a cool car.

So I bought a 68 383 car for $400 and turned it from the green bomber in the pic below to the black beauty you see. I soon found a 70 challenger 440 RT 4speed car, so I sold the charger and bought the challenger for $1,400! Sadly no pics of the challenger.

Fast forward and I am now in the process of building a 70 challenger convertible that I bought, with a 392 hemi/8spd trans. Re-living my mis-spent youth.
