I had posted before about the '69 340 'Cuda fastback that I also bought new. I went into the service in the winter of '68 and sold my Road Runner because I thought I was going to be gone for 3 years.

Due to medical issues, I was discharged in March of '69. I ordered a Yellow '69 340 'Cuda 4 speed with 3:91 gears. I won several trophies with the car at Marion, SD and Sioux City, IA.

In checking the Mopar production figures, I think there were only 93 fastback 'Cudas sold in 1969. I think about that car yet.

So, I consider myself very fortunate, that I was able to own two Road Runners and a 340 equipped 'Cuda! The 4 speed 'Cuda was much more fun to drive. On a good hot South Dakota summer time day, you could see the tire mark shift points on the hot asphalt with that car.
