The famous line is “That Plymouth had a Hemi with a Torqueflite,” but it appears to be an AAR ‘Cuda. And yeah, there’s a Daytona, too. Check out the opening scene after the jump!

Vantastic ‘Cuda
I don’t know much about the Vantastic ‘Cuda other than it is awesome and lives in Europe. If you know French or want to mess with Google translate you can check out the Vantastic Racing website, and there is some more on the car here. But you definitely need to watch the video of this 8-second E-body after the jump!

Video From the Mopars Unlimited 5th Annual Fred Meyer Meet and Greet
I think I need a camera with a wider lens. And more skill. But anyway, check out two videos after the jump–one quick tour of the show, and one short video of the beautiful 4-speed Hemi Road Runner! And if you missed the pics yesterday, you can see them here.
4-Speed 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible on eBay
It’s getting harder and harder to find cars like this that have not been fully restored. And you usually don’t see them doing huge smokey burnouts in eBay ads! This original California 4-speed 1970 Plymouth Road Runner has been sitting in storage since 1990. It’s rough, needs a trunk floor and quarter patches, but damn it’s cool! More pics plus the eBay auction text after the jump. Seller wants $38,000 for it. Worth it? Oh, and the questions and answers at the bottom are hilarious.
Triple Black
Most people agree that triple black = black paint, black interior and black vinyl top (or black convertible top). Makes for one mean combo, especially on a Mopar. There was a great thread on this option combo on Moparts recently, with pics of some very cool Mopars like this triple black 1968 Dodge Cornonet R/T. More examples after the jump, including triple black ‘Cudas and Challengers!
Running on Empty 1970 Dodge Challenger on eBay
Running on Empty is an Australian cult car movie from 1982 which featured a pretty wild 1970 Dodge Challenger. Well, that car is on eBay now, and the seller claims it’s a numbers matching 440 6-pack car, too! Obviously it’s a right-hand drive car, and the Buy It Now is $149,000 Australian (about $137,000 US dollars). Lots more pics after the jump, along with the original movie, which someone uploaded to YouTube in its entirety. So check out the pics and then make some popcorn and watch!
