I grew up in Detroit during the 60s & 70s which I think were the best years for Mopar! Frequented Milan & Detroit Dragways. My brother & his friend had some factory help from Mopar as his buddy worked in Chrylser's dyno lab. Went to Milan for test day with his car and the Motown Missile was also there - it was then that I was hooked! Moved to California where I built lots of different hot rods/classic cars for 17 years. Moved to Florida in 2021. After three hurricanes, I lost two hot rods, wife's car & a Class A motorhome. The only survivor was my '68 Dodge Dart - which was submerged in sea water water to the middle of the windshield. That's my current project car. It has a 440 4-speed Dana 60 pro-street vibe. My pride & joy right now is a '65 Dodge Coronet sedan with a 383 fuel-injected big cam, headers, manual shift 727. It mimics the A-990 car of the era. Thanks for reading my intro. I find the forum discussions for both A & B bodies interesting & informative. I'll contribute if I have anything to offer.

Welcome to FBBO from Ontario, Bob. Wow! That is a great looking '65 Coronet. Sorry to hear of your other Mopar losses. Thankfully, I live in the part of the country where nothing much happens, weatherwise. Thanks for all your pictures.
