Re: Mopar E-body (Challenger/Cuda)

Thanks Jlebanon.
The Cuda: nobody wanted to buy it late '98, I then sent it to my brother in Denver. It is now in a museum in South Carolina. And yes, I have tried to buy it back…

Re: Mopar E-body (Challenger/Cuda)

Wow, that was my first real Mopar. I bought and restored that car in the mid 90's, sold it a few years later and then tried to buy it back early 2000's, with no luck. It is a genuine 340 Rally with 2 build sheets, very original car form the Transvaal way back. That Challenger got me hooked on Mopars...

Corvette's

I had lunch with my Corvette friend today. He and his wife restores and buys pre '84 Corvette's, doing most of the work themselves.
The blue '70 is a 350/350 4 speed with only 20 000 miles, stunning car.
Enjoy the pics :D

On the Kraaifontein straight N1 I pulled into the red in 5th gear. That was one fast car!!! A guy from JHB bought it from me af...
