I think I lost count on how many Mustangs crossed the block this year at Barret Jackson. 20:1 ratio to Mopars maybe? Same cars, different colour all the time.
I think the ratio is closer to 40:1

When I relocated the alternator,I went to the parts store asking for alt belts in 4 different lengthes.He kept asking me what the application was,I told him I didn't want to confuse him.He insisted saying it was the ONLY way he could look it up.I had to leave and go to another store after I told him the application and he said it doesn't exsist:no:ccasion17:
Isn't that the car Starsky and Hutch had ?
You took the words right off my key board prop...it's the thrill of the hunt
I guess I have always been one of the guys that march to the beat of a different drummer. Sure it can be challanging to find parts but it sure makes up for it when you are one of a handful of guys that show up with a Mopar at a big show. Also the Mopar guys are just a little different(in a good way) and almost like a fraternity. Anyone can own a Mustang or Camaro, Chevelle, etc. but it takes a little more to own a Mopar.
There are many rings of people with parts out there. One person knows a guy that has two of that part. He lives right over the hill. Go see that guy, he knows of another guy that has tons of parts. Then, you visit the guy with three barns of premo parts. He takes you in the barns, shows you seven Hemi's still in crates, tons of chrome peices still in wrappers and won't part with anything like it's his first born. Frustrating.. Why did you show me then.?
One BIG issue:as these older counter folks pass on or retire,we can only hope that they pass their knowledge and appreciation on to the next generation. If not,we're all screwed.
