the first 3 cars I owned, all rusty and mostly painted rattle can gray. 1992-94




 72 318 Barracuda I made a 340, 71 Challenger 340 and 727, 72 Demon 340 and 904. 

I think I paid 400 for the Barracuda, 1200 for the Demon, and 3k for the Challenger. I loved those slotted mags. I got the back ones from a guy who bought them for his 68 Road Runner, and they won't fit on that 68 Road Runner unless you change something about the back and he wanted to keep his car stock except for the wheels.

This was the primer gray phase of poor, but driving anyway


This was in Hawaii, and the N50's on the back were a pair I bought for 150 bucks years before. They came from a guy who had thought they would fit on his primo '68 Road Runner without any trouble. Not gonna happen. Those N50's are about 2 feet wide across the tread, and I loved them. No way they can stay under a car unless, like I had to, you pump the hell out of the Air Jacker by Gabriel shocks in the back. Word of caution, air shocks are stronger than the welds holding the upper shock absorber mount to the body.
