Throwing away gems.

Yeah there was a time when nobody wanted Mopars. they weren't "Gold" like now. Real throwaway cars they were. It also was like Chevy guys couldn't /wouldn't work on them,. I to this day don't know what the big deal is working on Mopars. There are things you have to know but the basics are the basics. Ford was the same way,untill the 5.0 came out in the 80s no one wanted to play around with Ford either.

Honestly I dont recall those times.
I got my 70 Charger in the late 70s and even then people would stop me or give thumbs up . In the 80s it was always a race to get a nice Mopar . We started a Chapter of Mopars Unlimited here in Boise around 1984 and drew 100+ cars from as far as Canada and California ...... Hemis , Superbirds , 6 pack cars , Chrysler 300s , A-Bodies etc.
In the mid 90s I started seeing Chevy guys dump their Camaros for Cudas. Mopars were becoming cool !

I was just reminiscing the other day about Jeff Holmbeck ( a co-worker at a Shakeys in Minntonka in 1978) picking up a 69 Charger 500 . I was so jealous !
