What Makes MoPar so Badda$$??

For me it was because Mopar is different. All my friends in high school and after had Chevys and Fords and I always wanted to have something different. My parents were Oldsmobile people back then and my first automotive love were the Olds 442's, the Hurst Olds and the advertising Olds did with "Dr. Oldsmobile". My first car was a '64 Olds Cutlass. But I was drawn to Mopars from my very first time at the drags with the Super Stock cars from the mid-60s. Then the introduction of the Road Runner in '68 and the advertising they did from then on.
Shortly after getting married we decided we needed a 2nd car and I ran into a great deal on a 2-month old used '69 340 Swinger and I was hooked for life. I stupidly sold that car during a minor financial crisis and missed it for years.
I got back into Oldsmobiles for awhile when we bought a brand new '83 Hurst Olds but the Mopar bug never died. I started a restification project a few years ago on the H/O but always wanted my 340 Swinger back.
I spotted an unfinished '69 Dart project on eBay about 5 years ago and bought it. Then sold the unfinished H/O to help finance the build on my "new" Dart. It's still in 'build mode' but hope to have it finished soon.
