Why A Mopar ??

When I was a teenager, the MoPar haters would just say they suck. And I’d ask why. Followed by, “They just suck!!!”

So I investigated and found out the only thing that really sucked was aftermarket support with the old “Direct Connection” being the only real help! And of course, aftermarket cost.

After getting my 1st Duster, love these disposable cars! (As that’s what they were back then. Inexpensive transportation) And it was off to the high school races. This is where I not only got the drag race bug, but found out that I was stomping the competition into the ground right easy.
Buick’s!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Fords, Ha ha ha ha!!!!
Oldsmobile, Ha ha ha ha!!!!
None of them could beileve the little 318 was killing them dead.

I have had a bunch of other makes. I did notice right away that you just can’t throw on a MoPar part and expect it to work. You have to install it. Not just wing it on.

No one wanted a MoPar. I would get them cheap as heck! A lot less than a Chevy that everybody wanted. I kept breaking my Chevies unless I babies them. BORING!

Between the inexpense or getting the car itself and relative decent pricing of parts and the huge help from the MP books, going fast was very reasonable even for a high school kid.

I’m not a huge fan of every model by Chrysler Corp. Not every MoPar is great looking. I’m actually quite selective and particular on what I’ll own.

My favorites are a Duster/Demon, ‘67 plus Cuda’s, and the 2 year run. Magnum. There’s a few other worthy mentions. ‘70 Road Runner being one I’d love to own....
But they ain’t so cheap anymore!
