Marty's Mopar

Hello all,
Well, where to start. The beginning I suppose. I was born and raised on Mopars. I came to this site because I am a member of the A Bodies Only Forum (DadsDuster) and have found a new love. It all started when I was young. My Dad had (has) a 70 Duster that he bought new almost 40 yrs ago and I love that car. Unfortunatly I killed it 16 yrs ago and its been sitting in peices ever since. My Dad also restored a 68 Road Runner in our garage when I was younger. I'd like to think that I helped with the project, but I'm sure I was mostly in the way. Any way, I fell in love with the B Body Style and hoped one day I would receive the Bird as a birthday present, but alas dad sold it while I was in Korea. So I've been searching for the clean beautiful lines of a late 60's Mopar ever since. Recently I thought I had a car on the line that would suffice, but when I called to confirm, the guy got a better deal and sold it from under me. So I searched a little more and have found a 69 Coronet that I'll take under my roof. Any whoo, long story short, I'm going to hopefully pick it up in about 12 hours if it doesn't get purchased overnight! Wish me luck and if everything works out, I'll be on this site as a regular real soon. Thanks for having me and thanks for reading my long winded story that really makes no sense...:grin:
