Longst rip, and most fun I ever had, has flying from Missouri to Oakland ,Ca in later 90's, maybe 97?? I bought a 67 Cuda 383 , 4 speed car, the owner restored himself. $6700, and a spare seat of headers an 4 seed to boot. He was a mopar guy, and an engineer with Amoco Oil. He owned a 67 hemi Bel and another 67 cuda he raced on the road tracks there. He had rebuilt the car top to bottom, and had driven it he said, like 10,000 mi. It ran flawless, the entire trip. I got 18 mpg , with the 2:94 gears.
I had no intention to sell it as the BB cuds were hard to find even back then. A guy from not too far away came to look at a 69 Runner I had for sale, with the wife and kids. He spotted my cuda "hide" under a shed. He saw it and actually cried when he told me how many years he had looked for one and dreamed of owning one some day. I told him I would keep the extra parts, pay m $500 and he cold own it. Then he hugged my darn neck and paid me.
Made me feel good.
