Mopar pictures put them up

Ok people here is what I'm thinking, let's see what you have!
I don't care if it's old and rusty sitting in the back yard or fully restored. Even something in between, if you have a project tore apart or you drive it every day let's see your Mopars and Mopar powered vehicles. Family members are also included as well lets see them all. I'd like to see the ones that got away also. Bring em on!!!!

What I've got are in my avatar and signature

Here is my 76 Volare
It has been a street strip car since 1988, I bought it off the back of a Chevy dealers lot for $150 and put a 440 727 8 3/4 in it and ran 11.50s. In 1991 we put a 500 in 440 together and got into the tens on the rev limiter at the thousand foot mark. Car was 3500 lbs stock/6 and 3200 with the 440. Plans now are to run the DOT class at the local track I have both motors ready need a converter for the 500. Plans are to repaint the car a color this time.

Bought this new in Dec 1979 and still have it. Took it from the dealership straight to Ziebart and had it rust proofed which turned out to be the best money I ever spent on a vehicle. I put approximately 100,000 mi on this truck as a daily driver before it became my forever project and it still has all the original sheet metal!

Come on people we have quite a few new members in the last six months that haven't seen members Mopars in the past, so it would nice to have pictures and stories in one place. 👍
If you look around there are some very nice rides here....

Figured I'd throw a little love to my daily, '02 Dak. Love my little truck, 10 years and it's NEVER failed me, 126,000 on the clock and the 3.9 is just now getting broken in. I'm a believer in taking care of the ones that take care of you; the clear coat began to flake on the roof, I got it repaired. I spent the extra $100 to get the Rhino Liner color matched. The '36 is my toy but this little thing makes me my livelyhood and I spend most of my time in it, why drive a ragged heap all the time?

You know.. ( Hay BOB, You got some wire and some connectors!!) Yep !! "Hay BOB, You got a toggle switch" Yep.... Good Times.... This got away for a song and a dance with a 18' Equipment trailer... it went for $6,000.00...

This was.... Yep, Was.... Me and my 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 w/727... Some time around 1990 Just before I sold the car to a guy that had to have it in JAPAN... My Wife told / and said dont sell it. But I did to buy and needed the down payment money at that time. Well not so much as I new I could build another one in a few years... (Note to self - you are the most stupid Fu&*ER I know) OK... Moving-On, I had many years of fun with this car. Street racing, Drag Racing, Car Shows, Cruising SO-CAL, Just a Blast... I had a 500+" B1 motor back in the day with a Linco 6 Speed, Had this car caged. Went 9.05's, and then it went all the way back to Street Trim when I was done racing it. Even the Floor pans and back to stock spring locations... Unbelievable all the work that this old war dog went threw with me.
THIS IS MY HEART BREAK... AND MY WIFE TOLD ME NOT TO SELL IT.... But,,, Bob knows best.... RITE GUY'S ??????? !!!!

Back in Feb 2017, I was about 6 years into a rebuild of a 1974 Plymouth Scamp with a 226" Slant Six project, this car was almost ready to head to the body shop and then the upholstery shop. I had been driving it for about 6 months after bring this junk back from a shell. and Some dude on a raining night feel asleep and totaled out the Scamp and all my hard work. And No, I did not have enough gap insurance. I was and still am sick. It was only parked on the street (Waiting) for rush hour traffic to slow so I could park it in the work area for some more tuning... To this day, I'm still fighting with the insurance company to try to get paid the proper amount..
DONT LOOK IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH....



This is the before shot....

This forum doesn't seem like it's set up to handle photos stored in Google Photos.
I have to hit the forum on my phone to pull up the attachment option on the forum, then my phone will allow me to upload a photo from my Photos.
From a computer,
You'd probably have to go into your Google Photos and download each pic onto your computer, then post it as an attachment.

I've found on some of the photos I have posted I've had to do a screen shot with the phone then trim or not so I can post. This new format seems to let you post pictures from your phone easer.

My first Jeep, 1994 Cherokee XJ, next to brothers first Jeep. Believe his was a 94 YJ.


The little Jeep that could. 3.5" lift and 31" tires but managed to run many 7-8 rated trails.


Flexing is what we do. 33" articulation keeping other 3 firmly on ground. Can do a little better now but have not measured. Sitting on 6.5" lift and 35" tires now.


Blew out the rear shocks dropping off cars at this show. I knew they were too long after moving mounts up on axle but who wants to replace a part that is not broken.
