Chuck you can always put a studded snow tire on the back of the Harley bundle up and go for a ride. We have known each other since the early 70's when you called me to talk about stick shift, clutch set ups. Since then I have sold 4 of my cars. Everytime I sold one I craved the wheels up gear yanking ride. When I sold my last Demon I thought I would finish the Challenger got pissed at NHRA didn't work on it. I had a chance to buy the Demon back but then it got crashed and destroyed. Bottom line I should have kept my original H code Demon just like you have your Barracuda. I will put one of my cars together if just to go race comb races or stick shift races. Don't sell you will regret it.

You could always sell what you really don't need just in case. To me cars are easy to come by and I like the idea of having had different cars. I just called it quits at the end of this year for some of the reasons many have complained about. Also having the extra money has put our family in a great position to sell our existing home and to buy a new home.

My love is for owning the old motors and parts. If I get back into it and have the itch it will be easier as I'll have the motors, transmissions and carbs needed to do so.

And yes I only got back on the average 55-60%, but didn't care


Good Luck with whatever route you choose

OK, I forgot it's good points. It had the steel headed 426 Hemi if I remember factored to 225 HP.

Jimi,
I would buy the Behemoth in a heartbeat but alas it's not currently in the cards.
Two college tuitions to pay for!
Thanks for the offer.

I walked away in 1995 and never no regrets. Plus right when i quit the 90 classes got nuts and cars looking like pinball machines inside and more then enough questionable "stuff" going on at that time.
Now semi retired and doing what i want and when i want.

Blew up a motor, had a kid and moved to another province all in one summer. Cars been parked since. (new bracket motor installed) No way I'd ever sell anything..well, traded some stuff a couple of days ago and am using the money to buy a junior dragster for the kid.
I thought the responsible thing was to put away my toys and focus on the family..well the years go by and the oldest one (13) has no interest in cars at all (damn jock, likes stick and ball crap). See's me building stuff for others, but no interest. But the youngest (9) is a chip of the old block and loves dragracing. Once he's hooked, it will be easier for me to get back on the track. (That's my plan anyway) LOL

Never sell, wife said she'd bury me in the mustang too.
