My first Mopar

**Steve Shauger** · #1 10-28-2017, 01:42 AM

Yes after 40 years in the car hobby, I purchased my first non GM car, yep a Mopar. My interests started in the Trans Am cars like the Z28, so I thought an 4spd AAR Cuda would be the best choice. I always knew how unique they were from; fiberglass hood, tri-power, side exhaust, strobe stripe and different tire sizes F & R. I think my friend Frank Badalson rubbed off on me. I haven't even driven it because it's been raining since I took delivery, but tomorrow's weather looks fantastic.

You are gonna love it, fantastic car. I had one in high school, wish I never sold it.

Congrats Steve. Cool ride. That checks a lot of boxes for me too. Love the Mopars - I think they were the most over the top with features, colors, advertising, bullet proof drive trains, and the noisiest/rattiest doors on the market. ENJOY!!

I kind of noticed that when I closed the doors lol. Each brand has their strengths and weaknesses. These cars have the wow factor and red-red puts it over the top for me.
