    Old and new....where does the time go?

    A story....feel free to skip it. In 1969, I turned 16. There was an "old man" in a nearby town who bought a brand-new 1969 GTX. My best Mopar buddy and I thought it was the most beautiful car we'd ever seen, and we just couldn't figure out what the old guy wanted with it. It was bronze or...

    Old and new....where does the time go?

    Yeah, that was actually swim trunks. I never wore real shorts like that. Now the girls, on the other hand...........

    Old and new....where does the time go?

    I love those old Dodge trucks. Here's an interesting article about something only Mopar would do with a pickup. https://www.motortrend.com/features/dodge-d100-custom-sports-special-hemi-review/ When I was a kid, I sure wished my dad would buy one as a farm truck, but that never happened, of...

    Old and new....where does the time go?

    Funny thing...I didn't buy the first Challenger new, but the shaker was orange, and didn't appear to have been repainted. Don't know that I've seen another that color. Did some come that way? Rick

    Old and new....where does the time go?

    Just looking through some random pictures.......I'll bet I'm not the only one here who has stuff like this. These pictures are more-or-less fifty years apart. A 1970 440 SixPack Shaker Challenger, and a 2021 ScatPack Shaker Wide body. As well as a 1953 model slim body and a 2024 not so...

    Mopar Nats question

    It's been a few years since I went to the Nats and my son and I are thinking about making the trip this year. Forgive the maybe stupid questions, but I'm trying to be in the right place at the right time. Is Brice Road still the place to cruise? Sit on the Burger King and other parking lots...

    Cars for sale with NO price listed...

    One of the best sales ads ever: A friend called me and told me he had just driven by a '66 or '67 Charger that had just been placed in a front yard with a sign in the windshield that said, "FOR SALE, HEMI." I told him to stop and look. A few minutes later he called back laughing. When he got...

    Hi, MoPar Hunter. Is your Mountain Home in Arkansas or Idaho? I was in Mountain Home, Arkansas today, doing some lakehouse stuff. Rick

    Another new old guy...NE Arkansas

    Here's a perfect example of the "incorrect information" that we all see now. How much sense does this make? I copied and pasted directly from a story from "Hot Cars." Good grief. "One of the greatest cars to house the sensational Cadillac 500 engine, which was known as the biggest factory V8...

    Another new old guy...NE Arkansas

    I love Australia. I have relatives in/around Sydney, and we were there several years ago. A great car culture. I picked up a book by Gavin Farmer and Gary Bridger called, "hey, Charger," and learned all about hemi six packs and so on. Great stuff. Who of us up here knew? Not I, but looks...

    Another new old guy...NE Arkansas

    Thanks for all the responses!! I never expected such a welcome. I remember when there were not even many repro parts for our old cars, much less an internet that would enable us to have such a network of like-minded people to share info with. I look forward to learning from all of you, and...

    Another new old guy...NE Arkansas

    Good morning. I've looked at the site many times, but never joined. Lots and lots of info here. I get frustrated reading some of the published stuff now, since I was there when all this stuff was new, and know how badly in error a lot of newly published stuff really is. This site seems to be...
