Undefeated on the street !!!
Street Mopars were no problem. Mopars got scary built. But even back then they were more expensive. And more rare.
That same crowd from the 70s are still Chevy guys. I'm the one that broke ranks. And went Mopar in the 80s. Never looked back. And it started with the "Look" Chevy body lines are a little dull. Thus why (I believe) Mopars are able to support wilder color schemes. Mopars just look sharper. Better defined body panel folds. It wasn't until later I learned engine design advantages. Primarily in the heads. Rocker shaft vs Chevy's Ball Stud. And of course Hemi is just a full step up.
This is the opposite of my experience- you needed less money to build more HP from a mopar- and my uncle had a machine shop and we had all kinds of wild **** come out of there with the 80s Pipeline money!
I made enough from 1982-1984 in the Army bringing cars up from the "lower 48" and selling them for 5-6 times or more what I had into them- I flipped mostly Chevys of course, they were the most popular. LS6 Chevelles, 427 Vettes, Camaros, you name it. Mustangs, every kind of ford you could imagine, and quite a few mopars too.
I was TDY a lot from Alaska, so I would get my plane ticket down, opt for "POV" travel back, and it would easily cover the gas money back then getting it back to Alaska. I bought a 70 LS6 for 1500 bucks in Phoenix, sold it for 10,500 in Alaska LOL> of course, the chevelle was only 12 years old then! LOL.
I raced only mopars, though individual parts were more plentiful and a little cheaper than mopar, HP to HP the Chryslers cost less than any of them, especially since I had the machine shop angle. BB mopars with ported 906 heads, huge roller cams, high compression etc lived longer than the Chevy's especially. I had a 9 second vega drag car too, 454 based. Still not as cheap to run at the track as the car in my avatar.
