What car got you into Mopars?
Its funny I didn't get in the Fords cause one of my HS buddies was a big Ford guy and he had some "nice" cars, like a 1970 LTD with the 428/429 engine (i forgot which one) and a 1973 Ford station wagon..the 70 car was fast for so big..he flew with that car..100 and its still pulling with 4 of us inside
By Ford were so different from GM cars, mopars nobody I knew had one back in HS and they had a rough rap thanks to the lean burn junk in the late 70's..right when I started HS. Plus we were in to mopeds and motorbikes-I had an on road/off road 100 cc bike that I hit the trails with quite a bit and no worries of traffic tickets out there.
But then development ruined all the trails in the mid 80's--one place would be bulldozed and office buildings went up and then another field would be gone--then the city paved all the back roads--it was awful, lol...the speed limits went from 55 mph on dirt roads-which were almost never patrol, to paved 45 zone with cops all over...riding was no longer fun and I sold my bike--which was a 175 by then.
I loved my 70 Cutlass but the back end was too light and I did swing out a few times, only to regain control but then one day I lost it and before I could get in back under a this Jeep coming the other was did not dive to the shoulder..and it was gone...and I hated it for being so light in back..the 14 inch wheels did not help, same with the coil springs in back.
