----If this 66 is serial number 700 my cousin bought it new. It was a 427/450. I'll never forget the serial #. Last time I saw the car long after my cousin sold it the car was in rough shape and painted black very poorly. KO's were long gone. Can't remember why I even looked at the serial # that day. There must have been something that reminded me of Dave's car.
----This car pictured has 65 KO cones and the wheels are probably repops, but can't quite tell.....Bill S

Here is how one body shop fixed the problem. And yes, it's not only the springs but how people lift their hood. Lift it like a normal hood worsens the problem. You are supposed to put your arm inside the scoop and lift from there. This of course wasn't discovered until years later.

Bill:

No serial number listed. Did Dave's car have headers like this one?

Do you know why they used two different sized tires on the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger?

Both the Cuda and Challenger could only go up to E60 for the front due to the design of the front fenders. F60 would rub if the front springs went to max compression. So they used a specially made rolled lip fender for Hemi cars which got an additional Fender Tag: Hemi Fender to allow the use of F60s in the front. Having to buy 5000+ Hemi Fenders for one year only cars was deemed too expensive. So instead they increased the rears from F60 to G60 (no issue) and left the fronts at E60 (no added cost). Then Marketing decided to make Lemonade out of Lemons and waxed lyrical about the two different sized tires which had never been done before on a Muscle Car.
