I like what they do, restoring the " unrestorable" but Mark and his ego are really annoying.

[@markr5132]

Mark, you are off the charts defensive and not fair in how you are dealing with this guy. If you put your ego to the side you guys should be great friend. You would rather try and manufacture the idea that he is not as good with the details and try and trick him and give he no time to give his answers to make him look bad. Time to grow up.

The only time Mike Brady really got pissed was when Bobby put the umbrella through the convertible top at the drive in.

I believe there were three 1972 Barracuda/Cuda convertibles delivered to the TV studios. One was for the Brady Bunch, one for Mannix and the third was for The Doris Day Show. Chysler/Plymouth sponsored these shows. I understood these cars were retrofitted with 72 taillights, but they were really 1971's. I own the 1969 Barracuda convertible that Doris Day drove on her show in Season 2 and was on the opening credits of Seasons 2-5.

[@suregrip8853]

I just saw an episode of Mannix that showed a green convertible with a shaker hood, That must be the one you are talking about.

[@donphillips5957]

as far as the LDW, I had always thought the mid engine design would lend itself to a different setup, say a 5 liter(318) EFI, with a 21st century suspension, particularly up front would give you a road car that would be fast enough on the grapevine to be scary with the cab forward putting you way out front like that.
