If your mopar is you daily driver!

And gas gets to be better than $5.00 a gallon and it will
what will u do good idea to plan now ?
We don't see enough old daily driver Mopar's as it is.

Will there be a run on slants/273's L.O.L

Planning ahead I have both a slant (My daily driver a body)Signet
and a v8 a body Dart for enjoyment.

But I got to thinking that if I had just the v8 as a daily driver
how truly brutal that would be, and see the options I could face

I have kids so I try to be as practical as possible:
so remember I could only pick one

1. Over drive trans, (big costly project for noobie)
2.Swap a slant in and run v8 only during summer (you get a back up motor and trans just in case)
3.drive something else better on gas scooter or ?(not good with kids)
4.swap a new generation combo(better mileage motor but costly)
For a low buck noobie:

I kinda think its a good Idea to have a spare motor and trans
I personally would temp drive a under powered slant than give up my old classic as a daily driver.
..............
So am I in left field here? My 21 yr old daughter wants a Dart but cant afford 2 cars so for someone like her... what would be the best plan?
If she were to bust her but and buy.. build a nice car she would not be able to use it daily she couldn't take it on a trip out of state at 14 miles a gallon.

My suggestion is to find a nice slant car and start looking and collecting parts for a future swap but she wants to have a mean chromed v8.and i tell her If she chooses that path she will be:walk: more than driving.
................................
Do you see most future young guns buying slant cars? what will the new mopar enthusiast look like in 10 yrs?
what would be your suggestion?
People complain about the costs of building Mopars I think gas price's might be the bigger deterrent now. I have a 14 yr old too and she wants an a body barracuda I think i will find her a slant before she gets set in stone..LOL
I have worked hard to pass the hobby to my kids and look forward to sharing the shows and the road with them.
let me here from all of you.
Dads speak up!
