i had a 69 g.t.o. that was soooo ugly people would laugh at lights.....then the smoke would fly and their chins would hit the floor! my old cuda was o.k. then i dropped 5000 in the engine and body work in '79 or '80 (big $ then). she turned into a beast after that. my cousin bought her from me (fuckin dumbass me) and converted back to original a few years later. every once in a while i go to get her for the weekend and smoke some little honda punks. they think it's an "old man's car", till i leave 'em in the dirt! then they wanna see what's under the hood....love it!
