The first car I ever owned was 70 Chevelle with a big block. Boy did I have a lot of fun in that car.

BTW, I loved them all! Your pics/caption thingies, not all of the old muscle. Was never a big fan of many of the Mopars.

yes i agree, the "modern" muscle is quite impressive, but even the latest 'Stang & Challenger's don't have the same..............passion & style as the old iron.


most of the underdogs weren't!

My dad has ever owned 1 MOPAR... it was a dodge dart and that was the last one... biggest POS he ever drove.

Being the son of an anti-mopar man I myself havn't like anything built by dodge newer than 73... only now are they starting to gain some of my attention.

I still use this measurement. I always ask what the CI of my engines are. Its easier for me to understand the size and power of the motor this way.

you must be pissed off all the time lol. i hate chryslers, everything on them is a pin in the butt. the worst transmission i ever did was a dodge dakota. every friggin bolt is impossible to get at and/or differnet size, ever clip is facing so you couldnt get at it. where as chevy stuff i can have out in like a hour

alot of the new dodges are so crappy build. the dodge chargers have the flimsiest garbage front ends i have ever seen on cars. everything goes bad around 60k.

my 90 chevy pick up with 180,000 has original everything up front. changed the pitman and idler last year due to a hair of play but ball joints, and tie rods all original
