I think we need some more pics on this site. Maybe it will help people whose cars that are not yet finished to push even harder to get their cars finished.
It doesn't matter to me if the Mopar is a race car, a street car or a street/strip car. I don't have much use for the "trailer Queen" cars that never get driven on the street but trailered to a car show, get backed out of the trailer, sit there all day for people to oooh and aaawww at, then get put back in the trailer only to sit in the expensive garage they have until the next car show comes along and they might sit in the hot sun for 10 hours to maybe win a trophy. To me that is just a waste of money. I'm also not too interested in a car that is perfect in every way with the chalk markings sitll on the car and the old, original rotted tires on it. I ain't looking to win a beauty contest. I like a car that a guy can take out on the street and run it hard and the car holds up and kicks the other brand cars butts'. Show cars are nice to look at but what is the point of putting $200,000 into
a rotten shell to make it look better than new and then be afraid to drive it anywhere because someone might wreck into it? Yes, it is nice to look at but other than that what purpose does a car like that really serve? I will admit that I am happy that at least another fine MOPAR got saved from the junkyard by some rich dude who has enough money to pay a fortune to get a piece of rust to look like a new car and they have to wait 6 to 10 years and pay someone a fortune to do most of the work for them. But one man's meat is another man's poison and I'm sure some people on this web site will agree with me and some people will hate me because I dared to voice my opinion and they disagree with it. I won't badmouth someone's trailer queen because they love their car as much as I love my car, which, like me, isn't perfect. But is sure is fast.
If some people were offended by my statements above I hope looking at these nice Mopars will get them to forgive me.
Now for the eye candy. I have so many pictures of so many events I don't have a clue as to what to send Gary so I"m trying for only 62 to 65 Mopars. I have many great shots of all years of other Mopar hemi cars that are 1966 and later cars. But the site is for 62 to 65's and unless there is an interest in viewing something like a 70 hemi Challenger convertible I will post some of those if the demand is great. Otherwise I will stick to the older hemi and other mopars from 62 to 65. Many of the cars aren't even named in the file and I have to change all the names of the cars on my PC like DSCH1001. Then I don't know what the car is and Gary will be stuck trying to sort that out and I am not going to stick him with that work. It takes a lot of time and Gary has done more than all the rest of us put together to get a great and highly web site and email site together. So hats
off to Gary for his hard work to share his knowledge with us. He sure was a big help to me. In fact, his site helped me more than all the other Mopar siteson the web put together. Many thanks to him for his hard work and big effort. He really made it happen.
