My barracuda in the snow. Didn't drive well in snow with big torsion bars and wide 225/60/15 tires. Really bad with summer only 225/50/15 Pirelli P-Zero's.

When I had to drive my ABodies as my daily- we would put cinder blocks in the trunk (250-300lbs)and town and country snow tires in the back. 340/3stick and 3.23 sg. Went like a bastard in the snow.
 
Have some from two years ago when we had several feet dumped on the weekend but can't find them now. Took the dart into town for some pics that weekend.

My first Dart, a 1970 GT, had a .030 over 318 with J heads, cast iron 340 intake, and a TQ carb, no choke. Drove the piss out of that car, would go through damn near anything. Always started no matter how cold it was. Had a junk cylinder head behind each wheel for weight. Blew up more 7.25 diffs than I can remember but that was a fun car.

^^This is all great stuff^^ The 70 RR saw a few winters after I got out of the Navy, but I drove the beat up FJ-40 most of that time. It had a 360, 340, then 318 over the years I owned it.
 
I can still vaguely remember--when I was 4 or 5...riding in two different model A Fords--one a small flatbed pickup and the other an AA dump truck. The AA I expecially remember--the floorboards were partly missing, and you could see sparks from a leaky exhaust, and the ground going by. One of them had an aftermarket hot air heater---a trumpet shaped deal around the exhaust that directed "warm" air into the cab.

Defroster? Surely you jest
