What's your story with your Mopar?
Hi! So the thread is what's your story with your Mopar. It doesn't say A body so I'll include some pics of a B body also.
My first "old" car was a 1974 Mustang when I was 14 that I drove until I was about 19. It wasn't until I was 34 (family gets in the way, ha) that I finally got back into the classic car game and bought a 1964 Ford Fairlane which I still have. Only when I stumbled across a 1966 Plymouth Valiant wagon did I realize what the whole Mopar craze was about. That slant six and the wagons overall design ran laps around the Ford inline six in the Fairlane.
Since then I've added a 1965 Dodge Dart GT and a 1972 Dodge Charger. I live in the city and having 4 classic cars and 2 regular vehicles has been a challenge to say the least, I also live in Minnesota. I got the Charger in December of 2018, it wasn't running due to the entire harness having been burned up. I had to hot wire it to get it running so I could move it due to the snow emergency's. Also among the pleasures of living in the city is the lack of a real garage. Here's a picture of the tiny single car garage with no electricity that I've done all my work in. Currently I just replaced a frame rail and torsion support and an engine swap into the Charger. I have to run a large extension cable to run my welder.
Sometimes I hear laughter in that garage, the laughter of a crazy person...and then I realize its me. One day I know I won't have to work in such a cramped space but until then it's back to the garage. Thanks for reading, Jeanette
