There's a charity that gives away old classic cars in raffles.
I buy tickets and get some entertainment dreaming.
One of the raffles is a 1970 AAR 'Cuda (one of 1,664) and a 1969-1/2 Road Runner A12 (one of 422).
Both are full restorations.
All I can think is, "sell the 'Cuda."
Then take the money and buy a giant aluminum BeCool radiator with electric fans. Toss the A833 4-speed and drop in a 6-speed so I can keep the 4.10 rear gears and cruise comfortably (drop the rpm at 70 mph from 3,600 to 2,300!). Add a Vintage Air AC system; this is Florida after all! Yank the carbs and convert to EFI. Prolly have to do something about the 15x6 rims and 215-70R15 tires too!
In other words, utterly destroy the restoration.
But it'd be a hot rod now.
The changes would also be fairly easy to reverse too.
Of course, there'd be a fight to convince Harvey to sell the 'Cuda because it's got an automatic and she could drive that one.
