Hot Rodder or Purist?

For me, I like the total package. That is why I have always had a MOPAR. My brother and I put a lot of miles on our A Body Barracudas. They were spared no indignity and always did what we wanted. I like handling and speed. So I got a 273 and a 4 speed. My brother just wanted a reliable car. He got a 273, Auto trans that was never allowed to shift on it's own, and AC. I like the torsion bar suspension. Both cars turned out to be life long test mules. Both still run solid lifter 273's. My car eventually ended up close to stock, with all the best parts. Tom's car ended up with 11.75 Pin calipers and a custom 8 3/4 with 10 x 2 1/2' BBP brakes.
