The Retro Mopar Muscle issue is on the magazine store racks, here's a quick look

 They've got the full story how this 1969 Barracuda, 340, 4 speed but upgraded to a 440 for drag racing and painted in the early 70's came to keep it's cool paint and get out of the barn it was stored in

Yup, it's worth the 6 bucks

Ramona Cuda rollover dui news update

It was a real Hemi Cuda, a 1970 Hemi Cuda, the thread over at Moparts says it had a square tube rollcage. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=6924721

It's totalled. My previous post http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/cuda-rolls-in-high-speed-dui-down.html

The back seat passenger, according to the CHP,  was 52-year-old Mark Andrew Jones of Ramona...  not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the car, through the back window, and the car rolled over him and then rolled off him before stopping upside down.

Guess what none of the newspapers and tv news people have not mentioned... what led to the crash of Harold Green's Hemi Cuda at about 3:20 pm. Sunday Nov 13th  http://www.10news.com/news/29760960/detail.html

Drinking (from about 10 am to about 3pm) at the nearby Turkey Inn on Main and 7th ave (maybe watching a football game Broncos/Chiefs, Redskins/Dolphins, Cardinals/Eagles, Houston/Tampa, Titans/Panthers all started at 10am Ramona time, 1pm Eastern Time http://www.hokiephotos.com/categoryevents/1/Page-8.html)

 then after the game, a "Come check out my car!" So they went to Harold's and got the Hemi Cuda, and  took off south on 7th and fishtailed at last 4 times before making the corner at Telford -7th - Ashley and then floored it again to head South on the straight Ashley road when he saw the girl unloading the horse from a trailer, swerved to avoid the girl and horse and rolled the car long, far, and high, hitting branches from the tree between Ashley rd and the Morgans half circle driveway at the bottom of the below Google Map

the people who own the property the car came to a roll over stop in... , Dennis and Linda Morgan, possibly are looking to blame the car, the road, and the speed limit, or are looking to waste the county supervisors time chasing these scapegoats instead of drinking and driving "Morgan also told 10News he hopes law enforcement and San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob will now take a serious look at these roads to prevent future crashes like this one."  the News 8 reporter states that Dennis wants the sped limit lowered from 45 to 35. I think the reporter misquotes the Morgans, but who knows... watch the video and decide for yourself on that... I can't nail it down there.
"Morgan said he hoped county supervisors would take steps to make the road safer and prevent future accidents like this one."

late 1960's early 1970's dragsters and the haulers they got rides on

all found on a thread on Moparts about Mopar haulers and the race cars... very cool stuff, two of my favorite topics http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=4135439&page=0&fpart=32&vc=1 

Don Prudhomme's race cars, and race car transporters for the Snake and Mongoose funny cars

For a full gallery of the yellow one, here it is from SEMA http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/don-prudhommes-funny-car-hauler-1967.html

 I think "Lil' John's Place" refers to Lil' John Buttera

 the design and paint are by Kenny Youngblood, he signs his work "Blood did it"

just for the reminiscent perspective

cool photo from Endlessme Tumblr

I wish I was there... might be dangerous to street race in person instead of on the track, but as an image, looks attractive http://endlessme.tumblr.com/

Another reason to buy Mopar Muscle, this story on 17 yr old who got this 383 4 speed numbers matching 55thou, 1970 Lemon Twist original mile 'Cuda!

Jan 2012 issue has the story of Adam Blankenship, and his mopar collecting dad who promised him the car that had been sitting in the collection for 10 years if he got good grades in High School. That is pretty damn cool!
