You have a few Barracuda oldies there, Sandy.

Dare I ask.....

Have we finally found a Mopar you like?

I doubt it

I tend to have an interest in the unusual. The Canadian Valiant Barracuda's are different (I think hemi guy has one here in the UK).

I am not the Bananarama! some folk on here like to think I am. I just haven't got those MoPar blinkers on ....

I've been moderated .... for the first time

Basil Green went on to develop the Perana Capri's, MkI Capris with 302 V8's in them. Perana also did 302V8 powered MkI Granadas.

If we didn't have Sandy here to bring us all down to earth with a bump, from time to time, we are at very serious risk of becoming very like the members of the Porsche owners club and we should thank him for that!

Once again Sandy, brilliant information...I'm definitely not planning an original style resto on this one, I'm going to do my best to make sure it remains as standard looking as possible...sort of.

Don't worry, Ivor. I've got more than used to Sandy by now, it wouldn't be quite the same without 'im! We had a good chat at the Pod last year, too.

Just yanking his chain.

Are we going to see something Rumblefish-esque, then?

I've been hoping your avatar was a nice tease.

Ivor's avatar looks more like the old Yankee Peddler.

Cool pic

This is the original Hemi Cuda built by Tom "Mongoose" McEwen.

Later called Hemi Cuda 1 as it had to be replaced after it got airborne and upside down.

Dave, you've blown it now! I didn't think anyone would have any reference to the Peddlar!

But that's the idea...now I know the old bus is on the way, I'm getting quite excited at the prospect of loads of work.

Superb! That would be fantastic. Definitely different and in the "So ugly it's beautiful" category.

Even Richard Petty had one. This was Hemi powered as well of course.

Now you should know I have lots of old reference stuff on these cars Ivor. I was well into these cars as a kid in the 60s.

I will see if I have any more of the "Peddler".
