It must be nice not to have to put your Mopar in barn from November to April. Of course that does give us a good time to put her up on the blocks for "winter projects". The duster is already off the road for the season and I'm already jonesing.

Keep the faith for us in the meantime!

The main reason I left NJ, was to get out of the snow. But now, with the warmer wheater, year round, it's hard to schedule "downtime". The solution, is to have more then one toy. That way, you still have something to play with, while working on the other. My problem is, I go overboard. I don't have just one or two.

Hi Guys! I'm living here in sunny Winter Springs! About 45 minutes north of the big mouse. Transplanted from Massachusetts almost 10 years ago. I moved here for better weather and a longer car season.

I bought my '74 Scamp back in Massachusetts in July of 2000 in "beat-up daily driver" condition. I took it all apart in 2003 and had it painted. Put it back together and had it on the road through 2004-2006.

April of 2006 I had a dash fire at the ammeter. :( Last month I pulled it out, started wiring repairs, replaced the fuel tank and sender. I took it out for a ride yesterday, and although it will still need some work, I'm back on the road!

Would love to hook up with like-minded mopar and/or A-body enthusiasts here in the greater Orlando area!

She got a real bath goin' home on I-4.

I got the Scamp on the road on the 6th of this month. I wanted to go out for a decent drive, so I decided to drive down to Kissimmee. Turns out, Old Town has started a Wednesday night cruise! There were only a few cars, but we had a great time! Nice luck for our first night out.

The last time I went to Old Town, my '74 was a "Friday night car" and not a "Saturday night car". The cutoff for Saturday night was 1972. Since then they've changed the Saturday night cutoff to '74, I'M IN :)

So that Friday night we went to a local cruise-in with about 25 cars, pretty good. And Saturday we went to Old Town! We found a good spot to park and headed over to Fun Spot next door for a ride on each of the 4 go-kart tracks they have. Way cool 8) We came back and walked the 200 or so cars that were there and got back to the car just in time to get in the cruise.

This is all just about the most fun I can imagine having with my family and my car.

My Scamp is a road warrior. I bought it in 2001 while I was driving a 2000 Stratus that I really liked. I sold the Stratus 6 months later when I realized that the gas in it was 6 months old. Having 2 sets of keys, I chose to drive the Scamp every time.

I lived in Rhode Island then and I drove it back and forth across the country and up and down the east coast several times. It sees rain, snow, mud, whatever the road throws at it. Stuff gets dirty. I clean it. Stuff breaks. I fix it.

Third week of June I'm driving the family from Florida to Massachusetts in it to visit my Dad. The end of July I'm driving it to Missouri to see my buddy graduate from boot camp. In between I'll be driving it everywhere else I go. I wonder what will happen to my '05 Mazda now that I have my Scamp back on the road?

Matt Haynes new owner of a 1975 Doge Dart Swinger!! Here in Kissimmee Fl. Any car meets here in Orlando/Kissimmee


Matt,

You might want to look at this site. The majority of the members are from central Florida, and while all three manufacturer's muscle cars are found here, they do have breakdowns by groups - i.e. Mopar, FoMoCo, and the Bowtie Boys. The guy that started the site is JR Goodman, owner of the Challenger Foose rebuilt during the SEMA show a few years ago. It's a good group that gets together frequently. Chekc out http://musclecarflorida.ning.com/

Good luck,

MIKE

Just recently relocated to Central Florida about 6 months ago. I'm in Kissimmee, about 30mins from OldTown.

Would anyone happen to know of any decent salvage yards around here that would specialize or at least have classic cars lying around? I grew up in Maine and was about 10mins away from a salvage yard that's arguably the best in all of New England when it comes to finding parts for classic cars. I kinda took that for granted all those years and now that I don't have it anymore I'm really hoping to find something similar down here in Florida.

I've heard good things about Therber Collision on Grissom in Cocoa. I had a buddy of mine get rear ended in his Miata recently and they did a nice job on his car. My buddy is very anal and the only thing he could find to point out was the spacing between the fender and trunk lid was a little more on one side than the other....maybe a millimeter off.

As a bonus, the guy that owns the place is a MOPAR guy
