I had a butt ugly green 72 that was falling apart in mid 20's.....hated that color but it was definitely unique lol.

Mopar Action is my favorite mag, actually got my truck in Reader's Rides about 8yrs ago or so (though I should caveat I was living in Leland at the time, not FROM Leland lol).

My old 68Z ended up in a couple hotrod mags back in the early 80's.Still miss that toy every spring,lol. Actually met my wife because of the car,lol. My buddy had a new girlfriend and we were going to a carshow,when his new girlfriend asked if she could invite her sister to come along,i was a single young horndog at the time,so you bet another pretty girl could tag along,long story short,the sister came home with me that night and never left,and that's 35 years ago now,lol
Blew up the radical big block the night before the photographer was coming to take the pic's,an all night thrash to throw a junkyard 454 back into it,so it was drivable for the picture taking,that's why the engine isn't colour matched to the car,and it was missing a few hose coverings.That interm 454 was actually one of the better engines i had in it,it lasted about a 1.5 years swallowing a 150 shot of nitrous,lol.Car had several engines in it over the years,but the one that got the most attention was a 6-71 Dyers blown smallblock.Nobody was running a 6-71 on the street back then,so the car got alot of attention.Even had cops stop it,just to look it over when it had the blower and carbs stuck above the fenders.Only car i ever owned that i never got a ticket in,as every cop in the country just wanted to look at it,and i done some stupid **** in the car,lol.Even had a pair of cops help me break into it in a bar parking lot one time when the electric doors had quit working,and not once did they even ask if i owned the car,i could of been stealing it for all they knew,lol. If i was to ever build another toy as radical,i'd probably try to duplicate the car again,as it'd still stick out and get attention to this day.Sold it to a high performance car dealer in the late 80's as the wife was pregant by then and wanted a house,should of kept the car,and sold the wife,lol
