Darren, dang your car sounds like my dream ride! Do you have any pics of it?
Mr.70, nope I ain't Dennis Tuttle but it's funny ya mentioned ol' Dennis the Menace! If it weren't for ol' Dennis, I would never have found this board! We've been all too familiar with Dennis and his "dealings" over on the Mopar side of the fence. There was a post last week on my "home" board (Moparts) from a brand new user by the name of "1 million". This was Dennis proudly announcing his most recent purchase which was Milt Robson's B5 Bright Blue Metallic '71 Hemi Cuda convertible and three other rare muscle rides. For those that don't know, Milt had the '71 Hemi droptop advertised in last month's Hemmings for a cool $1,000,000. Well ol' Dennis claims to have purchased the Cuda for a million smackeroonies. He even posted a pic of a scribbled out hand-written purchase agreement between he and Milt for $1,300,000 for all four cars. A whole heap of Moparts members kinda jumped on Dennis's case and I guess I was at the forefront of it all as I soon received an email from ol' Dennis hisself with his phone number attached and asking me to call him and tell him just how I happened to supposedly know so much about his affairs. Well, I gave Dennis a ring that night and spent the next hour listening to Dennis carry on about all the cars he has and how he's gonna buy this and he's gonna buy thay and how folks don't like him cuz he's arrogant and that's just too bad and on and on and on he went. Amongst Dennis' claims were having once owned 34 Z11 Indy Pace Car Camaros at one time, how he currently owns nine Hemi Superbirds, six Hemi Daytonas, 2 '70 Hemi Cuda convertibles, the '71 Hemi Cuda convertible he just bought, a '70 Hemi Challenger convertible, etc. He said he had 195 cars all together, all in one building, and that I was welcome to come to Oklahoma at any time to view all the cars. One of the things that didn't jive out of all this was that he claimed he had 195 cars and then claimed to have $3,000,000 in cars. Well, I'm no whiz kid at math but if the '71 Hemi Cuda droptop is worth one of those million and each of the '70 Hemi Cuda convertibles and the '70 Hemi Challenger convertible is $250,000 each figuring conservatively, there's another $750K there. Let's go conservative on all 15 of the Hemi wing cars and say $100K apiece and there's another $1.5 million. This puts us at $3,250,000 right there. What about the other 176 cars he claimed owning??? Things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmm. One last thing Dennis mentioned was having the world's largest ever Mopar auction coming up in March where him and his partner in crime plan on having over 100 Six Pack and Hemi cars on the block. Who the heck got this guy into cars anyway? Well, anyhow, the point to all this babbling is that one of y'all emailed me with a link to a thread here last week about the thread on Moparts. When I came over here to check it out, I was like "wow what a cool board!" Now here I am, up to my neck in a full blown concours resto on my yellow 440 Six Pack 4-speed Superbird, trying to pull off doing a phantom/clone Daytona buildup project and with a race Superbird that is in serious need of some cosmetics! Then what happens? I come over to this board, look at some of the cool rides y'all own, and the fuse gets lit for the desire to own a bad-assed Camaro! As I said before, there's no way I can afford a real one but a clone may be within reach! John OneBadSuperbird |

Orlando, thanks! I had my sig pic up but have to resize it to fit the page better so I temporarily removed it from my sig file. I fell asleep before I had a chance to do it last night! It'll be back up in a bit!
