I'm here
MBM. Must Buy Mopar ! These long, cold, snowy, winters finds me scanning all the places one might find an old mopar for sale... CL, Marketplace, Ebay, where ever. No matter how many vehicles I have, I find at least 2 every week that I want, feel the need to rescue, or want to build.

Disease? IDK, but I like it!!!!!!
 
I'll even sell one I own and like to make room for the new find...... LOL
 
I'm the same way with old silver faced TOTL Cassette decks, always on the prowl.
 
My morning routine is to search for Mopars and parts and also old shop equipment, while drinking a pot of coffee. I see all kinds of things I'd like to work on.
 
Yes, I do have it.
And there's no cure, so I just go with it.
(I've had it since 1980, BTW)
 
I have decided???? that at age 73 ( the 22nd IF I don't freeze to death)) I am too darn old to keep piecing these old Mopars together. Get down and hardly can get bk up. Call a crane. NO, I am not fat. Maybe RRR was a little puggy before his diet, but I regress...I had 2 driving, sold one. Want the other gone and just finish what I have. OK so that adds up to 4 left????? OK so 2 are more doors, 1 is a Road Toad (wife clams the suker) only one worth bragging on is a 64 Savoy post car. In pieces. WTF am I thinking!????
It ain't the destination, but the journey!????
 
Barbee6043 all of your unfinished projects give you a reason to get up in the morning. You don’t even have to work on any of them. I really haven’t done much on my two Mopar projects once I brought the 2007 Charger RT home. That was in 2011 and my grown kids keep asking me when will I get them on the road again! I keep saying “this year is the year”!

I understand but I can not sit still to long. Work slow yes but I have to keep moving. Getting down to work on my car and having to crawl around on hands and knees is not what I call moving!!
I am way too goal driven. Fortunately not a perfectionist, but I have to see results.
Those 2 more doors cars are 62 and 64 B bodies. I love their looks and my first more doors.
I have always wanted to do a 50's car or old time hotrod. Where do I draw the line. I have always had to sell one car to be able to have $$ to work on another anyway.
Surely there is a pill for this!?

Is call “MoParitis” dummy! We all have it and there’s no cure. Now settle down and start making grand master plans to purchase some more MoPars.....

Everything I own now is Mopar. My wife bought a Buick Envision and we still have our old Lucerne that the kid drives. I like my Mopars. They are all older though. We have owned a couple Town & Country's which were very good.
 
My problem is space to store them. I’d have 4 more if I had room and that’s in just the last 3 years. Seriously I’m really not looking that hard either. If I was looking hard I’d have a salvage yard by now. One can always dream right?

Give me 10 acres and I'd fill it in 3 years with just a bunch of cheap, low-end mopars...
 
I have MBPCOT. Must buy project car or truck! I don't even care if it's a mopar lol I really want to build a race car(or truck) on a budget of course nothing extreme i want to go at least 8s (in the 1/8) I think that would be doable on my budget. I've been looking for dang near anything that is rwd that I can get around 2800 lbs and fit a cage in. I have a 5.9 mag a 904 and a 8.8 so the driveline is taken care of.

8's will be no problem in the 1/8 with a 5.9, even if you were at 3400 lbs.

My target is mid 7s so I figure a low 8 would be a good starting point lol eventually I'd like to go low 7s maybe even dip into the 6s. I know with my budget and my work schedule it would be impossible to compete in the points bracket. I work a rotating shift and I only get weekends off every other month. But I want to race something bad. But I don't really want to risk breaking the dart racing it. Idk what im gonna do. I thought about making that white dodge my race truck but I don't have anything big enough to pull it and I can't to tag inspect and insure it just to race it 6 times a year lol.

i here ya..... Look for a cheap '87 - 96 Dakota 2wd short bed? Gut it, put a 9.25 w/3.91's sure grip from a Dakota/Durango if it doesn't already have one... and let the rest be motor and a lot of stall... LOL

I was thinking the same. Something I could put antique tags on and drive to the track without spending registration every year lol..
 
I keep on selling them, and buying them back. I don't realize how much like them, until they are gone.
