Found this on my 72 Challenger last year. Doing the wiring change to bypass the bulkhead connector on the car. Avoided a disaster by checking things over. I'm glad you found yours. These old cars can have some hidden electrical problems. Terry W.

The Duster was my parents (mom's car really)1970 Duster, 318 with 3 speed manual trans. Nice black interior bench seat car and quite quick with the 318. I loved driving that car. It was the first Mopar I drove after owning my Chevrolets. This is the only photo I have of the Duster so not much...

My 36 Chevy Standard. I drove that car everywhere and loved all the looks I got in 1969 in it. I had a 66 Impala which I loved as a cruiser. I really fell in love with my 71 Challenger as a great overall car. I made 2 cross country trips in it. Here's a 1972 photo with all three cars in it. The...

I'm really happy. My wife is my best friend. We celebrate being married 50 years in 5 months. She helps me with my cars when it's needed. She likes doing the interiors which I don't. She does all the maintenance on her Jeep, her truck and her ski boat. We travel quite a bit. If I choose not to...

Same thing happened to me on Thanksgiving week. I was miserable and had driven from Washington state to Virginia. I had gone there to help my son fix his 71 Challenger ( he couldn't find a shop willing to replace the timing chain / cover on that old car). We got it done and by that time I was...

Ive been on all sides on this issue in my 45+ years old being involved in shows. I have entered my original 71 Challenger shaker convertible, that I drive to shows, which has taken many awards which awards I donated to various causes. I remove the registration card/ number so it can't be voted...

The best I ever got on my 71 Challenger 340 w/ 4speed and 3.23 rear was 22mpg keeping my foot out of it and just cruising. I had a 72 Challenger slant 6 manual trans get about 23 mpg. My 2015 Challenger R/T Shaker 5.7 auto 8 speed trans with MDS gets about 28 mpg on trips and around 20 in town...

My stock 72 Vega believe it or not. Sold it for the few dollars I had in to it. Next had to be my 72 Challenger slant 6 with 3 speed manual transmission. Terry W.

Me too. The hitch on my 74 Charger which I haven't put in the shop yet to get it going again.

Is that a trailer bumper hitch on the 73 Sebring Plus? Terry W.

I got into Mopars in 1972 when I bought my 71 Challenger convertible which I still own today. In the June 1972 photo below, you can see me standing next to my 66 Impala which I used as a daily driver since I was in the Navy. I sold it (shortly after I bought my Challenger) after this photo was...

I read your entire post. I'm one who receives vaccinations without hesitation and turn 73 years old in10 days. My wife is one who won't take vaccines. I get them to protect her from illness. I figure if I don't get ill, her chances of catching something from me are near zero. Your post has...

I turn 73 next month and have been thinking about this also. I have 3 grandkids that are interested in my cars. I gave my one grandson a 74 Charger Rallye when he graduated from high school in June 2024. He helped me alot with that car. He does oil changes on our everyday use vehicles when...

I installed aftermarket wheel opening trim on my 74 Charger. Yes, I had to massage it. The repro trim doesn't fit perfectly but is better than nothing. The profile is slightly off but as long as you are replacing all 4, it won't be noticed. I replaced mine 4 years ago. Take your time. I'm adding...
