Each and every muscle car enthusiast has that one experience that has helped define the way in which they view the automobile. For Northern California’s John Cross that experience came by way of riding in the back of his cousins 1970 440 6-Pack Plymouth ‘Cuda when he was a kid. It was a car that provided him with memories, stories and of course, a goal – that being, to one day own the very car which got his engine running all those years ago. It’s now 2012, 42 years after that first faithful ride in the very ‘Cuda you’re about to see. This time however it resides in John’s garage, not his cousins, which can mean only one thing… Sometimes dreams do come true.
