A Consumer Report magazine. When I was 15 in 1983 I got a magazine at the library that had just about every muscle car from the muscle car era and their 1/4 mile times. I made a list of all the et's and I noticed that mopars were dominating the list with the fastest times. I loved the looks of the 67-69 barracudas and I had to have a four speed car and as luck would have it with in a few days a 69 383 formula s 4 speed car was listed in the local paper for sale for $750. The next day my dad and I went to look at it and my dad ended up buying it for $650. I have now had the car for 26 years (its the car in my avatar) and Im currently in the middle of a full restoration. The car is full numbers matching motor, tranny, uniboby stampings, VIN, fender tag and build sheet and all the hard to find odds and ends including the rare red wheel well liners. I guess I got lucky and have LOVED all mopars every since.
