Proving My Mopar Street Cred... now prove yours

"It's not just how you look,it's how you dress,that's one thing I learned from Black Sheep I must confess! I didn't get street cred just being myself,I went out and got brand new shoes now I walk like someone else!"

Most of my early pics, were lost when I got divorced in 80-81. I've owned a couple mopars.

Actually, I think I over- broke in the valve keepers/ retainers.. it's been apart for a few years but the heads are rebuilt now. Maybe THIS winter..

So after my 68 fury, my 69 charger and my 70 charger was my 69 dart. Circa 74.

Ok... so I understand many of you have been Mopar guys ( and gals) for years.

Some are more recent converts having seen the light after years of wandering aimlessly thru your automotive past seeking the true meaning of pure mechanical pleasure.

Some, (gasp!), may even have come from the camps of The General, or Henry F. or, God forbid, the Land of the Rising Sun.

Today is the day that I have chosen to show my true lineage back to the days when I was just a budding car guy in search of the truth.

I give you.... me.... and my '56 Belvedere crew cab in 1962! A 14 year old soon-to-be phenom in the annals of automotive history making a critical carburetor adjustment with one of the only tools available in my tool box.

I now challenge everyone reading this to do the same... give us proof of your loyalty to the Pentastar...





OK... so I was bored tonight!!!!

The first car I drove behind the wheel was a 56 Belvedere 2dr Sports Coupe when I was around 8 or 9. Looks like the same trim package as that one. Looks like you're missing a grille? Anyways, dad rode shotgun and said not to go over 20 mph on a new road that wasn't open yet. Boring LOL. It was cool for the first few minutes but wanted to go more than 20. Heck, I rode in that car several times around the century mark.
 
Living at mom and dads there was always something car wise going on that dad didnt approve of. My mom took these pictures.
