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.

cheat with (I think).
