273 Commando - UTG

Ah yes, Uncle Tony ..he still around...? Id imagine he's repeated every Mopar video he's made oh 3 times or more now...
Ill chime in a bit, what I remember as a kid in the 80s (teenager drivers license in 86...) was that in the Mopar world B bodies with 383s were the standard.
Uncle Tony may have said noone wanted the small block Barracuda, I'm not sure if that was true but alot of big blocks were still to be had cheap in the 80s, in fact that's about when or maybe early 90s when the B bodies and parts started being scarfed up by "parts and resto guys" the guys making money at Carlisle every year ...I think the first Chryslers at Carlisle show was 1991...
a bit of useless trivia but if you weren't there or are too young this may help paint a picture of how the Mopar hobby got expensive. I remember when no one wanted A bodies they were cheap also 318 B bodies were cheap also.

this is how I remember it and memories fade. I was there in 1988 buying 1969 318 Coronet 500s for $200 towing them home and getting them running ...

Tony makes it up as he goes I think people are starting to realize he's a click baiter some are ok with that others aren't. I personally don't agree with rewriting history but...I realize I am a minority :)

As far as early A bodies Id love a 64-66 barracuda or Dart to put a 340 or 360 in...these cars are around I wont say they are cheap though nothing is any more...last I saw like 2 or 3 years ago was a 65 Barracuda for 5 grand...I forget the drivetrain I think it was 273-318 something like that it was gone quick is all I know.
