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

My cousin got my brother and I hooked...He was about 15yrs older than me and raced a factory lightweight car. An aluminum front end '64 Hemi Polara 330 and a plum crazy '70 GTX 440 6pack at Atco raceway in the early to mid 1970's. His '64 ran low 10's and was eating up his class. He told me he was "black balled" because his '64 HEMI, a MOPAR, was eating up the class (I forget which one). They either moved him to a different class or made an exception in which he had to race against motorcylces. This pissed him off and he quit racing there. I remember when he sold off the aluminum hood & fenders for $5000. and the race HEMI for $10,000. back in the late 70's.
