If you could order any A-Body new? What if question.

Well, LakeAffect, if we both had one of these Valiants we's have 2 of the supposed 50 ever made...make that 52 ever made...if the 340 would have been available in a Valiant, I'd have that. Instead, I'm building one.

Stainless steel, huh?
That would be what , a Valorean? a Daliant?
A budget priced family cocaine delievery vehicle? The rebate is under the back seat...LOL!
 
I'd like a '71 Demon 340, 4-speed.
Citron Yella.
black, black/white houndstooth bench seat
Black Stripes rear/side
Black hood treatment on performance hood (scoops)
Black vinyl top
Go wing
3.91 grip
Tuff wheel
H.D. suspension with swaybar
rallye wheels sans trim rings (Sizzler style)
hood pins
Bright moldings (wheel openings and drip rail)
painted sport mirriors

That'll do nicely. Just like the one in my garage.
 
My 67 Barracuda. But I would not want the ragtop model. Just a regular coupe with a 360, 4 speed manual and 8 3/4. (which is pretty much how it will end up finished when I get to it) As far as colors...hell anything but the piss yellow it was born with or black. Black does not look good on the coupes at all!!!

Thanks Tony for the compliment

here is a better picture

Now if I could order any A body from the day................................... I think I would get a ..................................................................

69 Dart GTS 440 4 speed 3.55 suregrip, white exterior, white interior, red stripe, console, buckets with headrest.

I really need to build me a BB 69 Dart

The good thing about wishing is we can (if we can afford it) build the car of our dreams. Many times it will be better than anything that ever came out of the factory. I have an all original 1981 Imperial and nothing will ever get changed on it unless absolutely needed, but like my Dart, it was a slant 6, auto on column with very few options. Now it has 340, 4 speed, console, am/fm, PS, AC, front & rear sway bars, painted pearl white and ultra leather interior. It is what I wanted when i built it.

If I were to start over today on the same car, it would be a Big Block or late model hemi, K alteration coil over front end, 5 speed, white, white interior, white vinyl convertible top and red stripe.

either a 67-69 notch back barracuda with hemi 4spd, disc brakes, rally/sport everything with all the extras -A/C of corse.

OR 70 dart raisin bran hood scoops, hemi, 4spd, rally/sport everything, disc, extras -A/C of corse..
 
probably would have one of the several cars i passed on as a dumb kid. First was a 72 Demon 340 auto, red W/black stripes,hood scoop, and spoiler, sitting on a used car lot in Omaha about 1981 or 82.still had bias ply tires, could have drove it home for about 2500.00. Second was a 71 Duster 340, auto, plum crazy, black stripes, spoiler. pretty roached, could have had it for a couple hundred. also an Omaha car. Was a brother in laws, brothers car.Third, passed on a 68 GTS340 auto, W/air, dark blue W/red stripe, still in Omaha i hear. Another brother in laws car, he talked me into a 6BBL 69 1/2 instead so it really doesnt count. Any one on here from Omaha?
 
I would like a 68 Barracuda Fastback Formula S 340 4 speed.

I have a 68 fastback now, with a 318, 904 and 8 3/4. It is beat to hell and been hacked so bad by all the previous owners...Body damage is horrible as well...
 
body in white cuda with a hemi and a 4 speed...wouldnt have it any other way
 
How about a '66 Ghia. Made in Italy body with a '66 Barracuda Commando drivetrain. Very cool looking car! 2nd choice would be a '66 Formula S 4 speed with every option known to man. 3rd would be a '71 340 4 speed Duster inviolet/black loaded to the max.

Wow, there are some fantastic A-bodies on the wish list here.

Mine, if I could only have one, would be a 68 M code Dart GSS from Grand Spaulding Dodge. I'd want the car to be silver with no vinyl top, black lingitudinal stripes and radio delete. Then I'd want it built by GSD with dealer installed headers, tach and driveline upgrades.
 
Both of the A bodies I have owned but new.

My high school car. 70 340 Duster that was originally hemi orange w/ 4sp but it was bronze with a 340 auto when I had it. (reverse light on dash worked with the auto????)

Now I have a hemi orange 68 Formula S 340 that is that was originally bronze???

I wish I had them both today looking right off the showroom floor.
 
'68 GTS-GG1,green guts,green glass,disc brakes w/o power,longitudinal white stripe, 3.55:1 posi,small caps,340, torqueflite. Wouldn't sell it this time!
 
1968 GTS 383 4spd Black w red longitudinal stripe and red bucket seat interior with console.
 
1973 plymouth duster 340 six pack 4 speed for me please, or i guess i could live with a 67 cuda motor dont matter when they look as bad as that lol
 
This is a fun wish list. My avatar is close but neither car was built the way mine exist today. Starting from scratch I'd like these two.

For cruising: A 1969 Dart GT rag top. Bright red with white top and bucket seat interior interior. Loaded interior with all comfort and convenience accessories. 318 2 bbl, Torqueflite, HD suspension, disk brakes, power steering, E70 RWL on "recall" wheels, and A/C.

For canyon carving: 1965 Valiant V-100, 2 dr. post. White with a blue interior. 273 Commando, 4 speed, 3:55 SG HD suspension, disk brakes, Blue Streaks, power steering, carpet, tachometer, and let the dealer add the AM/FM radio. Go ahead and check the blank for A/C. Gotta be cool when I'm stroking it. (I'd sneak the Barracuda grille into it later.)
