Hey Fabo members!

Glad to join the forum. I currently have a 68 cuda formula s 383. My first car in 1979 was a 68 cuda 340 formula s. Bought it for $800 and later traded for My second car a 68 Dodge Dart 440-6 (original 6 cylinder) that I raced at Baylands/Fremont raceway-Also a lot of street racing up on Canada Road at mid-night. I ran fenderwell headers, 509 purple shaft, Mallory dual point flat top, stock heads/bottom end, topped with 3x2 barrel square bowl holleys and 3:91 gears. The car run 12:20s which In the late 70s was considered fast for a street car. I’ve owned many mopars between then and now, but my current car brings me back to my humble mopar beginnings. This picture of the Dart was circa 1979. I miss that car but hope to re-live some of the same experiences with my 68 barracuda.
