Default I sold my 'Cuda! Why?

This weekend I sold my beloved 74 Plymouth 'Cuda. I nearly cried eating breakfast this morning.

It is a numbers matching, all options, rare color combo, final production year car, and I'm now getting the feeling that I may have made a mistake.

So, in a fitting memorial, I thought I would post a picture here so the world knows that I once owned a beautiful Mopar.

Goodbye dearest 'Cuda.
I'll never forget.

Nice car, I think I know how you feel, a long time ago, I traded my black barely driven '73 Cuda in on a red '74 'Vette. I sure miss the 'Cuda a lot more than that dog of a 'Vette!

Nice car. I have a '71 Barracuda that I am thinking of selling, I will probably regret it also.

What? I can't believe it... Sold...Oh My! And it had the Twin Buldge Hemi Cuda Hood. The best ever hood design - In my opinion. The pain will wear off in a few years. Hang In There... Squirrel Crusher

Squirrel, that hood didn't show up on the Cuda until 1972, the Hemi was discontinued in 71.
Just goes to show you can have a great looking hood even though it isn't functional.
Metal, my condolences. I hope the profit was worth it.
How long had you owned your Cuda?

I've only had the car about 2 years (I'm only 24 after all) but it was my first classic...

Hmmm. How much do you want for it? I'm so distraught over the sell I'm already scheduled to see two more cars this weekend: 68 Charger RT, 73 Challenger. Both with 440s.
I think I may have some sort of sickness, Automotive depravity Syndrome.

Actually, that was the standard hood on all Cudas from '70 through '74. Most Hemi cars had the "shaker" hood.

You may not be too old, but obviously I am.
My bad.
What's really unforgivable, is I once dated a girl in 1976 who drove a 70 or 71 plum crazy Cuda that had that hood.
Forgot her, but remembered the car..........(sometimes my Wife checks in on the forum)

Squirrel, I predict you're going to find it to be one of the most enjoyable mods you've made.
