Any fellow MoPar musclecar enthusiast/owners on board? I currently own a '70 Plymouth Duster 340, #'s matching original car. Its painted original color what Plymouth called FY1 "Top Banana". High impact bright yellow.
I come from a family of MoPar enthusiast. My father owns a '69 Plymouth Sport Fury which we purchase new. Very rare color, Sandpebble Beige. Its a big block 383 4bbl. His car may be probably the very best one left in existance. 46K orig. miles in the odometer..
My brother is restoring a Hemi Orange '70 Challenger R/T. Body is 100% restored to original, drivetrain in more resto-mod. The 383 produces just over 500 streetable HP. I can post a link for some pics if we have any other enthusiast interested...........
Yes, I have been a Mopar enthusiast for a long time.
I have many car mags from the '50s-'70s with Mopar road tests. One of my favorite is a "Drag Racing" magazine from June, 1969. They test a '69 Dart GTS with the 440-Magnum engine. It ran a 12.7 sec @ 112 mph 1/4 mile with just a change to wider tires (the stock E70x14s had zero traction).
I owned a '66 Dodge Dart GT from 1979 to 2002. It had the 273 V-8 and I modified it (dual exhaust, shift kit, 3.23 axle replacing the 2.93s, 4-bbl Carter AFB 500 cfm carb, Holley intake manifold and electronic ignition).
It made good power for its small size and was pretty fun to drive. I really liked the console shift and the bucket seats (and all of that exterior chrome).
I would like to own in the future a '69 Dodge Coronet R/T 440-Magnum. That is probably my favorite Mopar and favorite muscle car.
Mopars were the hottest thing on the road back in the late 60's. I'm not a collector, but I've always admired the 68/69/70 models. A friend of mine used to own a '68 Charger R/T with the 440 Magnum, 4 spd, and man, could that beast move!
I'm a Chevy guy but I like all muscle cars, to include Mopars. If they wern't so dog gone expensive to buy/fix/repair/own I'd have a few. Namely a 68-70 Charger, 70 Cuda, 67-69 Dart, 70-72 Duster/Demon. And probably even a '76 Coronet with a 440 big block.
My first new car was a '73 Duster, 340, 4spd, 3:55, Tahitian Gold color. A little over 3,000 bucks as I recall.
My favorites are the 68-69 Chargers. Maybe I'll pick one up when the muscle car market crashes again.
I bought mine in 1974 (340, 3.55, 4 speed. Ralleye dash) I still own it and it has aprox 57K miles. The car is basically stock, Accel dual point, heads were redone recently, Flowmaster exhaust. I don't think I'll ever sell it and will probably pass it on to my son.
Here are a couple of nice Mopar shots.

I posted this chart before. It gives a pretty good indication of what people are talking about when they say what color their Mopar is. Enjoy

IF it ever crashes again.....by the looks of it the prices will continue to grow astronomically high......
