How many cars with original drivetrain are on this forum?

-
70 FC7 340 DART 4SP 3.91
bought in 1978, original drivetrain mothballed.
Broadcast and data plate.
Slowly making progress but currently realizing I probably won't finish it.

Our GTS was 15 years old when we bought it in 1983. Our Durango is now 23 years old, going on 24.
 
If the paperwork on a 64 Dart that I'm supposed to get turns out to be okay I'll have a car that has all original drivetrain. Also my '95 Dakota, 96 Dakota and 97 diesel Dodge still does too.... and the only major work I've done to my diesel were new gears in the rear end. Done a lot of pulling with it and expected the transmission to go out before the rear end but so far it's still kicking.

That seems new compared to the stuff we collect today, but a 95 Ram almost 30 years old. That's older than most of the participant Mopars in the first Mopar Nats I went to back in 1985.

I agree and my first Nats was just a couple years later! I was buying plenty of 69 Roadrunners in 89 and they were only 20 years old!!!!!! My first was was an F8 roller for $50 plus a free 361 short block!

Oh man, I bought a ton of 'old' Mopars and parted many that most today would consider fixer uppers! Makes me cringe to think about it today but back then, just didn't have the room to keep but a few at a time.
 
Feeling a little under the weather today so the Barracuda gets to keeps it's original 273HP and 904 trans for at least another day.:)

Well it was numbers matching at one point. the original rear end is in it. (until it becomes a mosaic on the street)
now the 318 is getting some go-go parts.
