My Marble Money went to MOPAR.

I have had this Slo-Mo 1959 WM300 since 1969:

This 1961 Parade Truck came a few years later:

Tired of being able to walk faster than my truck, we got into a little faster bracket 2 years back with this 1971 Plymouth:

There is a '66 Plymouth Convertible in the barn waiting it's turn for some wrenching.
Great fun, but you can't carry them in your pocket like a couple of agates.

Here is my 2003 R/T Dakota Truck. Last year they made them with the 360 motor. This one is rarer cuz it's a regular cab with a Stampede Package. Total production for 2003 R/T Regular cabs is under 250 trucks. The other Mopar is a 1969 Dodge Charger. I've had this since 1978. This car has around 380,000 miles on it . It has 200,000 miles on the rebuilt 440.

I never learned to drive, but my mopars don't quite run anyway.
These are stock and nearly complete, with the original fire power hemi's, push button automatic, power windows and seats, padded dash, and FINS.

A rare 1956 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon

and a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker 4 door sedan

I'm speechless on those Mike. Awesome! Hope you plan on some resto work in the future.
Mopar stands for Massively OverPowered and Respected. (Kiddin)
It is short for Motor Parts with the Chrysler Folks. I believe.

Thanks Road Dog, that was the plan, but I have to build a garage first.
The station wagon was running ten years ago. It's like a reverse woody, with the whole interior behind the front seat lined with wood and chrome strips. The sedan has the original fuel injected heater system under the hood, pretty scary I betcha.

Thanks for the pics guys.

Beautiful Charger! (Dakota too) - no wonder you are the Road Dog!
I will keep your pics for inspiration.

We have been concentrating on getting the Plymouth back to a usable road worthy car. It is a work in progress. A big change was the disc brake set-up to slow it down a little easier.

No 440 yet, but a friend has several big block motors, so there may be a motor & tranny swap sometime down the road.

Mike, it looks like you will have a great ride, if you can get one or the other of those survivors on the road. Don't expect too much in the gas milage department, but the fun-factor will be out of this world!
