Conley Precision Engines has put the finishing touches on its Stinger 609; a 6.09 cubic inch, fully-functional V8 engine. The little mill has its own supercharger, dual carburetors and a functional serpentine belt and turns out a full nine horsepower.

Motorheads rejoice!!!!

What is the fuel?

Now all you need to complete a project car is to find (or make) a miniature tranny, drive shaft, rear differential, rear axle, and some drive wheels & tires! Then you're good to go!

Is neat though.

Do you have deep pockets for such a toy???

Nah, I don't think so......there's open exhaust pipes on that puppy!

70AARCuda, what color is your AAR? Did you ever live in Rochester NY by chance and own a lime-green AAR? Actually, I call it putrid green, but who's counting? LOL

I had a college roommate that owned one back in the early 80's.

My AAR was dark metallic green (EF8) and although I was born in Brooklyn I've never been in Rochester.

I was only in Calif and AZ when I owned the AAR: bought it new in June 1970 from Whipple Chrysler-Plymouth in Ventura, CA, and sold it in 1974 in Yuma, AZ, during the OPEC oil embargo.

Obviously you're not my old college roommate Bob! LOL

Conscience though, because Bob lived out in CA working in the Silicon Valley for a spell before before returning to Rochester NY....he bought his '70 AAR out in CA and brought it back with him.

Hmmm it's been almost 30 years since I last saw him. I wonder if he still owns it.

Is there an AAR registry online that lists current and past AAR Cuda owners? I'd like to find him if I can and touch base. I haven't been successful so far trying to locate him.

Maybe he's in prison! LOL He did smoke a lot of dope back then... A LOT is an understatement. He even looked like Chech Marin! hehehehe

For any Europeans interested, it is almost exactly 100 CC or 0.1 Liter.
