Average age of Mopar Maniacs.

will be 54 in june, I like them all, it doesn't matter to me what brand there is something I like. I work for Ford now, but still LOVE my MOPARS and have 5 of them right now.

Dad worked for Chrysler (electrical plant in Indy) but growing up he drove whatever he could afford since there were 4 little mouths to feed. 1961 he bought a new Ford station wagon (he said it was a POS) then in 64 bought a new 1964 Polara 2 door hardtop, (what a car for 6 people to take to Grandmas 240 miles away) 318 poly push button auto bench seat with fold down armrest. I was the youngest and smallest so I got to seat up front with mom & dad and usually on top of the arm rest or would lay on the package tray

1972 my brother got his MUSCLE CAR a 1969 383 Dart GTS, I LOVED THAT CAR. Time for my 1st car in 74 and Tony said he would sell me the Dart, dad said no "You'll get KILLED in that thing" Then he said I would drive a MOPAR since he could get parts for it at work.

At that time both sisters had 67 Barracuda's oldest a 67 fastback Formula S other sis had a 67 Barracuda slant 6, auto, ac, ps, deluxe interior so when dad seen a 67 Barracuda on the board at work for sale we went and looked at it. I was still 15 had $400 from paper route & mowing grass. It had been thru a fence had 4 bald tires and the seat seams were ripping out, but the car was MINE. Had the aluminum slots already for it, took it to my uncles body shop to get the damage fixed and paint it something other than the light blue that it was.

Had it for about 1 1/2 years then traded for a 69 Roadrunner after having to convince mom that I was getting a great deal so she could convince dad he should let me do this. Dad would buy and sell cars, so was just following in his footsteps, at least that is what I told him. I have had over 100 cars & trucks over the years and most of them Chrysler products.

I have some cars I would like to own on my bucket list that are not chrsyler products, but I will aways love my Mopars
