That's badass, man! I love the obscure 70s cars. Not a lot of people like them, but I sure do! Tell us more about it?

Thank you! I purchased this car from a gentleman who used it as his dailey driver to and from the steel mills in Gary Indiana. It was a Midwest car its whole life and showed it with decades of Cancer top to bottom, but it is a factory 455/4 speed M-20 trans. It still has its original block, crank, rods, heads just bored and balanced/ trans rebuilt. Differential now has 3:90 ratio in it now. It is REAL LOUD and I wouldn't have it any other way. It took me 12 years to complete in my two car garage.

ok, now I'm impressed. Not a Chevy motor. That's great, man! A sure nuff Oldsmobile engine. Total badassary.
 
According to some idiots on Facebook, I have 3 non Mopar's... a 75 Duster, 2002 Ram 2500 Cummins and a 2016 Chrysler 200C. They were saying Mopar ended after 1974
:wtf:
 
Here's my non-Mopar, my '79 KZ1000ST. I bought it brand new.

I have lots of non Mopar toys but Boat (with a chevy engine) sleds and ATVs don't count. My only non Mopar street vehicle is a 2011 Ford Fiesta (my Mexican Party Car). It's great on gas and comfy but it's small and lacks almost all options which really sucks! I use it to go to work and back. 120 mile round trip daily.

Basically, I want the Dart to handle and go like that Mustang and my life would be complete.

Could probably be done if you were willing to through a ton of money at it.
I have two Non-Mopar vehicles now. 2012 Winnebago built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis and a 2016 Toyota Tacoma truck. I WOULD have been HAPPY to buy a new Dakota truck, but in their infinite wisdom, Dodge decided that we did not really want smaller trucks. They knew that what we all REALLY wanted was a full size truck with a hemi in it. Ford also quit making the Ranger. So I Chose the Tacoma. It is a good truck.

I saw that crap too.
I gave it the attention it deserved, none.
 
My new DD is a 2005 Saturn Ion Redline, so the Valiant can get upgrades. And the 95 SC2 is the other toy, have owned this one 17 years. Love Saturn's as much as Mopars. Have/Had 5 of each brand.

Here's the side glass on our 2016 200C

Lmao @ mexican party car
 
Are you telling me that there is another automobile manufacturer besides Mopar? I was not aware of that.

Ha, ha; I do have one non-Mopar: a 1960 Porsche 356B that has been apart for restoration for years and, to be honest, I am not sure that I will ever get it on the road again.

Aside from the 356, I'm with gunbunny: "The closest thing to a non mopar ride I have is a Schwinn." I love my 1988 Schwinn Paramount that was made in Waterford, WI, with Shimano Ultegra gruppo and the skinny, 110-lb. pressure tires. Really nice ride.

Still love my 73 dart swinger to pieces, but have a soft spot for the Japanese imports.

Unlike the States, Canada has a 15 year import rule, so because of that I could import my 98 Toyota Aristo 2 years ago. For those that don't know its essentially a Supra with 4 doors. Pretty hard to beat a twin turbocharged inline 6! Has heated leather, air purifier, auto everything, self leveling headlights, full touch screen HVAC and sound system (works excellent despite its age).

With a cat back exhaust it made 300whp! Now it should be making around 340-350 wheel with some more mods. The 2jz-gte is really a neat little engine, forged bottom end good for pretty much anything I could ever throw at it.

What others do you have?

Thats a Lexus GS300 here. that dash is cool! I dont think they ever offered a twin turbo (any turbo!) in any prior Lexus.

I own a 92 Lexus SC400 and a 82 Mazda B2000. That 92 still purrs like a kitten (you can actually hear the injectors clicking, thats all!) but has a 1-2 shift that doesnt seem to modulate with throttle pressure. I believe there is an electric servo in the valve body that is responsible for modulation for that shift and they do go bad over time.
