Past Mopars we have owned!!

[mcmopar]

Yeah - that top pick looks just like my car after I had it painted back in '85.
My list in order:

'64 Valiant Wagon: pale blue, 225 /6, push button automatic.

'66 Dodge Polara: Light Beige w/red interior (buckets & console), auto on the floor, 383 4 bbl.

'69 road runner (originally my dad's car): Sea Foam Turquoise w/black bucket seat interior, 4 speed, 383, no power anything.

'66 Dodge Dart, Gunmetal Blue, 4 door, auto on column, 273 2 bbl, under dash a/c. Wife's first car. Toasted after she pulled out in front of a BMW.

'66 Dodge Dart, White/black, 2 door, /6 automatic. Replacement for 1st Dart. Stolen from my wife at gunpoint and trashed after doofus tried to outrun police cruiser later that night.

'69 road runner (present car): F8 Ivy Green Metallic, Saddle Tan bucket seat interior, 4 speed, 383, PS, PDB, A/C, Performance Axle Package (Hemi suspension, Max. Cooling package, 3.55 Sure Grip 8-3/4" rear end), rear window defroster, AM/FM stereo radio.

'83 Dodge Colt 3 door hatchback, White with Black stripe (looked fast! :jester: ), 1.3 L engine & 5 speed trans. Thing got around 38 mpg on the highway. Traded for '86 Shelby Charger. Bad move.

'84 AMC Spirit, Maroon, Auto on floor, Pontiac 4 cyl. engine, cloth interior, no A/C! Never did run quite right but we needed a replacement for the 2nd Dart quickly. Sold it after about 1 year (too hot in Orlando, FL summer for my wife who was a visiting nurse and needed A/C). Sold it and got the '86 Colt.

'86 Dodge Colt 4 door, Silver with Silver/Gray interior, vinyl bucket seats, 5 speed, A/C, radio delete car. A real striiped down model that ran like a champ until a '94 T-Bird creamed me from behind and totalled it. One of the best cars we ever had.

'86 Shelby Charger, bought to replace '83 Colt, bad move. Red w/Silver stripe, 2.2 Turbo, 5 speed. POS

'87 Omni, bought after destruction of '86 Colt. 5 speed, 2.2, POS

'93 Dodge Shadow ES, Emerald Green Metallic, Gray interior, 5 speed with cloth bucket seats. Wife's car for many years. Another great car.

'93 Dodge Spirit ES, White, 3.0 V-6, auto on console, cloth bucket seats. A nice car but trans started to let go. Traded for Neon R/T

'98 Neon R/T, Intense Blue metallic with twin silver stripes, 5 speed, 2.0 DOHC. Great car until stolen out of my driveway 3 days before my birthday, 2007.

'03 PT Cruiser GT Turbo, Black, 5 speed. Little Darth Vader car. Wife's present car and she loves it. Replaced '93 Shadow ES.

'07 Caliber R/T, Stone White, 5 speed, 175hp 2.4 L. Decent car, nice stereo, present daily driver. Replaced stolen Neon R/T.

There have been at least a dozen leaning tower of power Dusters that have come and gone that I didn’t list here. If I didn’t convert them to a V8 or don’t currently own them I figured why bother – hell, I can’t remember most of them anyway… Didn’t list any parts cars either…or brand-X stuff…even though there have been a few and I still have a couple hanging around…

Well since I see AMC got passed how about a 73 cj5still own, 80 cj7 still own, 80 Concord rolled it.

 

[ACME A12]

80 Concord rolled it.

So you got the Jeeps after the Concord failed the hill climb test...???

Something like that :basketcase:

 

[Big John]

John, what kind of suspension mods did you do to get that clone to hook up?

Stock rear springs with no straps holding the springs together on the rear portion, IIRC there may have been a clamp or two on the front. Small torsion bars with custom made teflon bushings on the front. Adjustable shocks on all 4 corners. I had 10" brake drums on the front too that were quite a bit lighter.

That particular track was known for its always changing traction. It was never the same twice, so we'd set the car up to rise fast and launch hard all the time.

 

[Hoosier Bird]

Thanks.......

 

[Collin]

seeing as how I was only born in '86 and never had great access to these cars I would like to kick all of you right in the nutsack for getting rid of these cars!!! :chuck: :chuck: :chuck: :chuck:



I know you didn't know they would be so valuable at the time and blah blah blah, but im still mad

 

[Basketcase]

well alot of the ones we drug in, were rusted up parts cars. others went due to the responisibilites (that's gotta be spelled wrong) of being the man of the family.

Geeez.. 1986.... I have shoes (and kids) that are older then that.

I left out a bunch of cars that I don't have pics of. Let's see.... I had two '70 Sport Fury GT's. 69 340 4 spd Dart, 69 383 4 spd Dart, 66 Dart, 3 or 4 Chrysler New Yorkers of various years, 68 Hemi GTX, 69 Hemi GTX, 69 Hemi Roadrunner. That just to name a few.

I cut up a decent 69 Roadrunner after I got what I needed off it. Today that $50 car would be considered "very restorable" and would go for a good buck. Then it was a POS that no one wanted. I didn't have any proof of ownership so I cut that into little pieces and stuffed it in the back of another junker to get rid of it. I remember thinking, geez... these quarters are rust free... but I can buy new ones so why keep these.... Then I laid the cutting torch to them.

Don't you wish you kept them now?
