Needy '74 Cuda & owner's Story of devotion!


74 Cuda-girl

I'm looking for a kind hearted generous Mopar-Lover like I am. I have a needy sweet '74 'Cuda that needs restoration. I've owned it for a long time and it was restored but then through the years of marriage, daughters, cats, accidents hardships/breakdowns/problems my poor sweet ride got left out. However Chevy husband did do a Frame-off restoration on his '55 Chevy & Ihelped pay for it.. Then my daughter got a '88 Dodge truck & sweet talked us into her getting it restored by my husband her dad. I let it go.. Well she nearly died in that truck- and on a frak April snowstorm the pinch weld crushed down on her head to her skull and cut her from ear to ear.. broke her back etc.. and was crushed inside.. We live in the rural; noone came to help. Kristin managed somehow to get out- God knows how; 'cuz she don't remember. She walked in the cold-wet-slushy snow a 1/2 mile for help. The 1st hospital couldn't help she needed a better one. Well she survived, a miracle. We owe $70,000. for her unmet med bills. I nursed her back to health myself. Me- I always go without.. In the past few years I had a concussion, skull fracture, seprerated-sternum, broken collarbone/shoulder, hurt scoliosis back migrainee-sufferer & tennis elbow so severe. I can't afford any doctors. I watched all my dreams pass me by; My last one now is to see my '74 'Cuda at the midwest's largest old car show. I begged them for 27 years to feature my brand, "Plymouth's" There are this year and I'm poorer than poor.. And my 'Cuda is now my husband's work bench and after Kristin's accident he no longer cares to do cars & all his promises are gone. I even gladly said; If I can't have my 'Cuda at Iola, WI. this year I'll kill myself.. My daughters 13 cats, dogs & Mopars will miss me. I've loved and driven Mopars my entire life and they brought me happiness. Except these past few years when every major component known to man all went out on them along with my septic system, health, washer, vacuum, microwave, computer,my trust/pride/joy/quality of life... But somehow I manage to wake up every morning with a migraine and spunk.. Any tips/suggestions? I'm a loved Mopar girl because I possess kindness-heart-of gold-caring-qualities and do random acts of kindness and taught my Mopar-loving daughters to be the same way! Long live Mopars & all car-nuts like me! '74 Cuda-girl who says thank you most sincerely for reading, caring & smiling..Peace! :) :)
