My Evo has a new garage buddy...
I'll try to be brief. Those who know me also know that I am very close to my family. I've posted in some threads about my big brother and his blown 71 Hemi Cuda. I've even posted links to it. He also built a 71 Panther Pink/Moulon Rouge Hemi Cuda. What makes his accomplishments so amazing is the fact that he's 100% disabled from the Viet Nam war. I was a Junior in highschool when he was in Nam. He re-upped for another tour of duty over there, then shortly thereafter was severely wounded for the third time. His back and legs were nearly torn apart by mortar fire. Anyway, I was there for him when times got tough after he returned and tried to reintegrate into normal life. Today, I got my payback. You guessed it. Dan and his wife Joni delivered the Panther Pink 71 Hemi Cuda to my garage, without me knowing about it. Then in usual fashion, he went back home to Tulsa to wait for my call. I'm in shock, but I had to share these pics, as soon as I could, with the Evo community, since many of you already know about my newly built Evo IX RS. I know you can't enjoy them as much as I do, but I felt compelled to share this with my 'family' on EvolutionM. It's mine, titled and insured in my name, thanks to my Big Bro - I hope that each of you can have some one as special to you, as my brother is to me. Thanks for your time in letting me share this with you. tom

SICK car. Enjoy that beast. My best friend's father has a completely restored Hemi Cuda 440. The thing is immaculate and worth near 90 grand. However, it just sits in the garage. Please drive it and enjoy it! Congrats!!!!

Yes, the doors and deck are CF and the stack of tires are all brand new. One of the sets has 16X8 SSR Competitions with BFGoodrich drag radials for the VW bug in the background.
