    Hi Everyone,
    I thought I would introduce myself and post pictures of my cars. I joined to learn more about
    Ferraris.

    Every now and then I start thinking of selling my old muscle and buying a modern sports car. So I will be browsing through the forums to learn more!

    Cool cars! Looks like the coupe has some modern/wheels tires to give it a bit of a current feel?

    Thanks Guys, yes the Black one is more of a resto mod. 426 hemi engine. Some suspension mods, custom stripes, manual trans with overdrive for the highway. Handles well.

    The purple car is an all numbers matching 71 Cuda convertible. It's a real Billboard stripe car with some rare options. Only about 300 Cudas built in 71. About 1/3 were optioned for Billboards.

    Both drive like trucks. It would be nice to have something that is engineered to perform. These cars have 45 year old technology. The only benefit to that is they are easy to work on.

    Yup, I've been on moparts for 17 years. Mostly a lurker but sometimes a binge poster.

    I'd keep the 71 and get a Ferrari for a change of pace.

    Here's my Mopar. 63 Max Wedge. I keep it because it was my fathers. Polar opposite to any Ferrari.

    Nice one, yes the max wedge is a keeper. I thought the same thing about keeping the 71 and selling my 70. The 71 has better investment potential.

    Very nice cars, especially the purple one. I would love to have one of those one day. Good luck finding the car you want.

    Thanks Guys, I've always been a mopar guy. I love the variety of colors and styles that were offered from 68 to 71.

    Here's a pic of some other cars that I restored in the past......

    Beautiful E-bodies, Finoke and what a nice assortment you've had in the past..
    I'm also a "cross-dresser", been a member here for 4 years and on Moparts for about 12. Hope you find a Ferrari you love - what are you thinking? The Maserati forum here is really strong, that's why I'm here... and if you don't mind me sharing, here are my two Mopars...
    Cheers!

    Looking good Art! Nice dealer docs too! Still trying to figure out what car would suit me best. I agree this forum is a great resource.

    That is some heavy Mopar muscle, how did the Bricklin sneak in there?
