You know what makes A-bodies so great?
The people that own them!
I have to agree! In my area of Ca. It seems the Mopar community can be very segregated.
You got the late model guys who think they’re the baddest of the bad. They won’t even make eye contact. (I think maybe it’s because even though they have 2-3x the H.P. and all the bells and whistles, they’ll never be half as cool as an pre 76 A-body)
Then you have the B and E body guys. Who are looking down their noses at the lowly A body guys. Now I know that’s not always the case. I have met (not in person) some B,C and E body guys here on this site and all have been great guys, very helpful and enjoy talking with them. I’m just talking about what I have seen locally. In fact just yesterday here in town I was completely snubbed by a guy in a Roadrunner. Made eye contact and waved at him, he just watched me drive by. Maybe he was just in awe of a beat up, clapped out big block Duster with a Tunnel Ram and 2 4’s. LOL
Then there are the A body guys. Not too many in the area that are out and about. Quite a few at the drag strips. But the guys I’ve met around are all cool, down to earth real folks. There are a couple of pristine Dusters in the area and some original owners. Very cool folks. Heck even a lot of the Ford, Chevy, Rod, and rat rod folks around here are cool and friendly.
Anyway I dig my beat up old Jalopy, It’s a hoot to drive and definitely gets some attention at the cruise ins. (Good and bad)
Just my observation and experience.
A bodies for life! :steering:
