What is your A Body history, which ones, and how many have you had? Why?
I will make it short.
My first A-body was a 318/ a-904 column, 74 Valiant 4 door that I scored from my Girlfriend's Aunt for $100.oo back in 1989 during my senior high school year.
I named the car Rodney and it quickly became a modified money pit that everyone knew.
I got married a year later to my highschool sweetheart and I quickly realized that money was extremely hard to come by, and once I blew the motor in the car my hopes of getting serious about this car was pretty much dead in the water.
I told myself that I would most likely have greay hair by the time I could afford a more desirable Mopar muscle car and restore it the way I wanted.
Well, I was right, I have some gray hair on the sides and I finally did what I set out to do although I had to wait patiently for 20 years and it still took me 8 years to build between paying the bills and putting food on the table.
I have a picture somewhere of "Rodney" with my then, girlfriend sitting on the hood in a cute jean skirt, but for the life of me I cannot find that darn picture.
I have plenty pics of my latest project but y'all have seen it a zillion times.
Man, I can remember so many "good" deals back then but I could not afford jack squat as a young punk other than a mopar action subscription and lotsa dreams.
So much for making it short.
Oh, I can't forget the clean little slanty 71 swinger I sold last year.
I bought the swinger because it was a killer deal and I was really itching to drive a cool Mopar while I was building the cuda.
The neighbor i sold the white Swinger to yanked out the /6 and put a roller 318 in it, with a four speed, drove it for a couple weeks and sold it to my other buddy who hopefully will do some big things to it like he has on everything else he owns.
