Why A Mopar ??

I grew up around them. My dad built and raced Mopars throughout the '70's. He and my mom always drove Mopars. Dad had a '63 Polara 500, with a 13.5:1 Ramcharger, and daily drove a variety of cool cars, including a '69 383 Road Runner, and a '65 383 Belvedere I 2 dr. sedan. Mom had a '64 383 4-speed Sport Fury, then a '71 Charger R/T 440. My mom took pictures of my dad holding me as an infant, between the Carter 3447 AFB's on the cross ram of his 426 Ramcharger. Dad bracket raced a funny car with a 440 in the '80's. I was in love with cars pretty much as soon as I knew I loved anything, so naturally I loved Mopars.

When it came time for me to start driving, I worked hard and saved up to buy a cool Mopar. My first car was my '70 Swinger 340, which I still own today, after 23 years.

I asked my dad a long time ago why he started with Mopars. He told me that no one built cars as tough or as cool looking as Mopar. He also told me that when he started reading car magazines in the '60's, he thought Sox and Martin had the most impressive cars.
