Why Mopar?............The Passion....

Dad worked at the Chrysler electrical plant. He was one of the 1st 50 hired in 1953

Growing up Mom & Dad owned a 54 chevy, 61 ford wagon, 56 Chevy, 58 edsel, 67 Lincoln, 68 Impala convertible. The 1st new car I really remember much about was the 64 Dodge Polara, white black interior 318 with push button auto. I still like that body style.

My uncle had a blue 67 GTX with a 440 auto, I don;t ever remember riding in it, but I loved that car.

At 14 dad went to look at a 67 Barracuda slant 6, auto, PS, AC. This was a very clean little car. He asked me if he bought it would I keep it clean and when I got my lisence in 2 years he would sell it to me. What a deal,I yes yes I would. I would wash the cars just to get to drive them around the yard to the back so I could wash them.

My brother ended up with a 69 383 GTS Dart. I loved this car too. I wanted it real bad and since my sister told dad she wanted the 67 Barracuda I thought I should be able to get the Dart from my brother when I got my lisence. Dad said no to the Dart.

Time for me to get a car, dad said, "You'll drive a chrysler product" I was OK with that since there were so many that I really liked. I ended up with a 67 Barracuda that was a V8 car. Not as nice as the one my sister got, but at least a V8.

So, not just dad helped make Mopar my car of choice. My uncle, brother and Dad all helped make me a Mopar person.

I have worked for Ford for the last 12 years. I can drive whatever I want and I prefer the Chrysler Products.

My wifes 1st new car was a 68 GTX, so she is a Mopar person too

I like all types and brands of cars. Have owned Chevy's, Fords, Buicks, Olds and a LOT of MOPARS. Even in the new car line I think Chrysler has the best looking vehicles.

Would love to have a new Challenger or Charger. Have been looking at new trucks to possible replace my 95 Ram 2500 and like the new style Dodge better than any other truck out there

It cost more to build a Mopar, but in the long run it is worth it. At least at most shows I go to there are not too many Darts there, especially convertibles. My Prowler is still an attention getter and the Imperial, most people have no clue what it is.
