FoxyRoadster Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I know what MOPAR is, just part of the funny story. Apparently I'm now the co-owner of two 1972 Dodge Darts and here is how is happens. hanging out with the other half's family last sunday, He decided to buy two dodges and such for a good price. So now I'm going to have to show him how to install an engine in the 2 door and fix the 4 door up for just general giggles. Thing that makes this funny, he bought the cars for looks and when I congratulated him on buying vintage mopar he was like "Whats a mopar?" Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My first car that was all mine was a new '70 340 Swinger. (part of the Scat Pack) I know about the Dodge brothers. :) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Technically, MOPAR is not a car or a car brand, but Chrysler's brand of auto parts. Mike, do you remember AutoPar? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 But isnt a car a bunch of auto parts? Its like on all the parts of the Fords that come in to my shop say "FoMoCo" Quote Link to comment

Dude really,, he probably still remembers reading about that whole Red sea thing that was in all the papers back then.. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 AutoPar.... sounds familiar, that's all. Ramchargers, Dick Landy, " the Dodge Boys" TorqueFlite, Sure-Grip, Hyper-Pack slant six were a few names I remember. Quote Link to comment

Yeah they are parts, thing is he knows *nothing* about cars and I'll be the one doing all the work. :lol: got a good deal though at 800 bucks. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I try not to mention it on the webz, but I co-own a '73 Challenger. Part of the reason I'm poor. It's a nasty little car. Cordoba 360 .30 over Big cam- unknown specs Police interceptor heads- Ported, with big valves. Stepped long tube headers Stock Torqueflite trans 4:10 gearset etc. SO much fun to drive.

Z chopper Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 my mom has a 1972 plymouth valiant duster, that she had painted a colour called sweet violet :sick: I still say it is pink. I had a 440 6pack I wanted to slide in it but she wouldn't let me. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I had my dad's 4 year old '64 Dodge slant six. Put a 318 2 bbl and split the exhaust manifold and ran duals. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My dad has two dodges, one a 75 duster or dart sport, has a 318, and a dart swinger with a slant six.. Beautiful cars. We have a 360 from a dodge flatbed waiting to be put in the swinger, cause the six is knocking :/ Im more of a Chevy guy when it comes to domestics, but 440s have a place in my heart.. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Giving this to my wife on Saturday for her birthday. She has no clue. 383 2bbl Plymouth fury3. Been trying to make the paint shine. The more I buff, the more comes off, but it's getting there. It's starting to make me understand the appeal of the patina look. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I had a 79 duster (volare really, with "duster package". 318 auto) Brown and black. Bought it for 350 bucks. Drove it for 2 years, still ran when I sold it for 50 though it had a bent LCA (donuts on tight streets not advised) Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 MOPAR- an acronym for "motor parts".Chrysler's factory racing program was called "Direct Connection".Best factory backed program to ever exist.The stuff you could walk into the dealer & buy would give you guys "wood" for a month.
