Hello:  I am Ronald Beulke and have a 1970 440-4 speed Cuda clone...I will soon be 64 and broke my camera trying to take my picture.... My 1st car was a 1960 valiant and my favorite is the 1969 Road Runners as I remember riding my bike to the dealership to see the new cars before I could drive and they had a Hemi 4 Speed  and several 440 6 Packs ...I just retired early so I will not be doing the big buck stuff that I had hoped for and want to build a cruiser...   It has been sitting in my basement for 18 years as I knew I would regret selling it and it didn't eat..I am very interested in disc brake upgrade,17" wheels and tires and possible overdrive conversions and fuel injection...I love all the info here and elsewhere...Thank-You for sharing...Ronald----- :tool: :popcorn:

Hey all -

My name is Scott, I live in Clarkston MI with my wife and youngest daughter.  We are all car nuts and I have had countless rides (too many to list off all).  My current stable is my favorite:

First few pics of my Challenger, the GTX (getting ready for restoration), Grand National, wife, youngest daughter, and extended family with grand daughter, and lastly my back propery (~5 acres) with my first pole barn (34x34).

I was in the Marine Corps in the early 90's, after I got out I got into the IT field where I continue to work for a company call Citrix.  I enjoy working on my cars, motorcycles, cold beer, family & friends.  I love Mopars, I always have as a matter of fact the GTX that I have used to belong to a neighbor of mine when I was growing up and I had told him that if he ever wanted to sell it he should let me know... 33 years later I did it.

This is my second marriage and I inherited two wonderful kids and even got a grand daughter out of it, with 2 more on the way this year.  My youngest daughter (Keelin) is 16, then we have the boy (Jesse) not pictured who is 24, and Tawnie (27).  I am very proud of my family and extended family.

Thank you.  I would dig hanging out as well.  I have not been to the car show on 59, is it every Thursday?  I will have to check it out.

My hubby Tom and I have a Mopar addiction, so I guess we are co-dependant that way.  We have operated 'CudaJunction for nearly 20 years.

My Mopar love started young.  There was a super cool older kid in the neighborhood that had this awesome Cuda, all of us stupid young kids would hang out and ask stupid kid questions, he was kind enough to put up with us, probably because his little brother was one of the stupid young kids.  We were hanging out while the cool kid was wrenching on this car.  I was the lone girl in this group and asked a stupid young girl question and the boys laughed.  The cool kid then asked me if I could run the gas a couple times and I about died.  I slowly slid into the driver's seat, ran my hands over that steering wheel and operated the gas pedal as if my life depended on it.

Game over.  I was a fan for life.  That car was a 1970 440+6 Cuda auto.  I had a chance to buy the car in the early 90's, but I passed and have regretted it ever since.  Someday I will a 6 pack car, but maybe a 4 speed.   :banana:

If you see us wandering around a show with this guy, Dodger, say hello.  We have people that have seen us for years that come in looking to say hello to Dodger, then they get around to talking to us.   :yes:  Here he is making himself at home with some friends at a show.

Cool story @cudajunction   and love Dodger!  @J-Code Jeni  is going to love your dog.  He's a cutie.

Thanks @Cuda Cody !  Tom has been a Mopar guy since he was a kid too, much to the chagrin of his father that is a Chevy guy.   :looney:

When Tom's dad calls and I answer, he always asks if his son is still "playing with those junk Mopars."  Yep pops, he is.   :twothumbsup:

J-Code Jeni

You're a great storyteller @cudajunction ! I was with you in the driver's seat, pushing the gas pedal too! I so hope you find a 1970 440+6 Cuda someday!!  :fingerscrossed:

I have nothing but love for Dodger too! He looks like a great buddy & a memorable little guy for sure!  :D
