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.

wheelbase car which he tried to cheat with (I think).
