Why Mopar

The F.O.R.D.s I've owned were all P.O.S. specials; very much laking in overall quality. At a mere 90k my '85 stang died with with everything making noise but the horn and I drive like an old lady. That goes double for my '91. My chevy's were better machines but lacked any kind of "gee wizz" factor, they had no soul. Mopers are competitive because they are light and very strong and are made better than most other cars of the era. An a-body with a 340 is one of the most well-balanced power/chassis cobos you could ask for. And just look at the selection of engines, from the "stone-axe" /6 to to the all-mighty 426 there is a plant for everyone. An A-body with a /6 gets good milage and goes through snow like it is on rails. If you are a small-block guy like me you have the equally reliable 318, the pocket-powerhouse 340 and its older cousin the 360. The 383 and 440s are legendary big blocks and the hemi is still a devastating race car engine. No matter what you want from a car, the 1960 - 1973 (or so depending on who you ask) Chrylsers offer well-built selections. I love cars of all types, but I am a mopar guy to the bone.
