I have owned many different mopars over the years and now have the "itch" to get another one. My love of mopars began in 1984 (senior year of high school) when I sold my first car a 1969 327/4speed camaro and purchased a 1970 Orange Dodge Charger, 383/4 speed, 60k miles with a spun engine bearing that I found in Wheeler Dealer Magazine. The car was sitting behind a silo in a northeast farm town in Iowa and I was hooked the minute I seen the car. I bought the car for $375.00 and went back up the folllowing weekend and had it hauled back for $150.00. We then put a 440 in the car out of a 1967 GTX for $250. Oh those were the days! That car hauled butt and I couldn't go anywhere without a crowd around me (I lived in a chevy town!). I also had a 1973 challenger that we put in a 440-crazy fast. My buddy had a bronze colored 1974 cuda, 360 auto with the hockeypuck that he bought for $450 from a farm where we hunted as kids (it sat there for years). We put a new battery in it and he drove it home! It was one fast machine! In 1999 I bought a 1969 1/2 440-6/auto, 95% restored from a guy in Marshalltown, Iowa but sold it in 2001 for $13,500 to fund a business project. There are no other cars like Mopars and I'm ready to jump in the seat again!
