Hi, Joe!
Welcome to the FABO site!
It's easy to like A bodies! Because....
1. They are cheap to buy, compared to B and E bodies.
2. Any Mopar engine will fit with a little massaging.
3. The very fastest factory Mopars (1968 Hemis) are A bodies.
4. They are lighter, and therefore, faster, than any other musclecar-era Mopars, with the same engine.
5. They came with, or can easily be fitted with, the great 8.75" rear end.
6. They are old enough to qualify for (cheap) "antique" license plates in many states.
7. Lots of aftermarket parts (roll bars, subframe connectors, fiberglass hoods, etc.) are available, so lightweight, but strong, race cars can easily be made using A bodies as the base car.
8. Disk brakes can easily and cheaply be fitted, using OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts off junked '73 and up, Duster, Dart Sports, etc.
9. Their light weight makes them a lot easier on drivetrain parts at the drags than the bigger, heavier B and E bodies.
10. They are just sooooo cool! :cheers:
Have fun!!!
