Yes! You guys just kill me. Remember... what ever we get our daughter is going to drive. Oh, before Mike has a cow next to me, this is gen2cudas' wife. Thanks to all for the help and jokes. Walking away from a car all the way out here in California was a downer, but the car is not worth the price even with a good body, You should have driven this cuda. Hit the gas and the engine wanted to jump out of the hood and run ahead of the car =P~! No way is my super cool chick of a daughter driving that car in the shape it is in. The owner is a cool man but, no car lingo or car know how in him. I even know how to drop a tran and even change a tire :>) (All that and while wearing heels). Again thank for the info and aide. (I guess Mike can go back to fixing "RED" again.)
Keep on driving the open road guys!
Mrs. Gen2cudas

How old is your daughter and how much driving experience does she have? Does she drive and older car daily right now? Does she often drive the other older cars you own right now?

I do agree that 4spd car with big cam and 3.91's is too much. Even the current owner is looking to detune it. So what are the requirements?: trans, mild v8, discs, power steering, power brakes??

Something I've observed over the years... I've seen many Mopar hobbyists get their daughters older Mopars. Seems like it lasts a few years and then they are done with it. I have seen young under 25 buy and drive old musclecars. They are still in the hobby 20 years later. One bought a Satellite in High School and became a writer for Hot Rod magazine and I think still works in that automotive magazine field.

The ones that stayed with, I've never seen their parents. They did it on their own and/or they participated in events on their own mostly. Not that they didn't get help at home or a start at home. Their motivation to do things in the hobby did not absolutely need their parent(s) presence 100% of the time.
