Mopars I've owned thread

[DPNM]

I'm new here and I thought a thread on Mopars you have owned may be a good topic for discussion. I'd like to keep it to one's you've owned, not newer ones you own now unless you bought it years ago and still have it perhaps.

I'm old. Vehicles were cheap "back in the day". I spent time making a list of the motorcycles I've owned, dirt, dual purpose and street. Including the one dirt bike I have now it is number 23 in my lifetime. I cannot count all the cars I've owned. My nearest guess would be around 70. Buy 'em, drive 'em, sell 'em.

I mentioned the two Cuda's I drove which can be found on my introduction page. There are two other Mopars I wish I still had. One was a '66 Charger. 318 / automatic. The '66-'67s are my favorite Chargers.

The stand out is the '78 Warlock. IIRC it too was a 318 / auto. I wasn't big on speed so the engine displacement wasn't that important at the time. It was an awesome looking truck. It was 2WD. It had side pipes (not the up pipes from the LRE) but the wheels were the slotted mags from the LRE. It had a custom tonneau cover with the Chrysler star sewn on it. This is one of the 5 vehicles I would like to still have.

If there is any interest in this thread I'll regale you with the story of the Plymouth Scamp I owned.

What memorable Mopars have you owned?

Sorry, I'm new and not up to speed on what you mean. Should I start a similar thread in the 1:1 section?

What car? I will probably change my avatar as soon as I can come up with something more appropriate for this forum. I usually use a Nova model I built . Didn't seem right on this forum for some reason.

Since I started driving in 1971, my list of MOPARS could be considered extensive. Some of them would be classified as mundane, but I've owned a few that were exciting. I'll post up some pics as I go along.

Most of the cars I've owned have been mundane Bucky. That's why I know I'd never be able to remember them all LOL.

Post up some pics please. Unfortunately I don't have pics of any of the Mopars I've mentioned so far.

We've been driving about the same amount of time. I think I got my license in '72. What a great time to be young!

[BUCKY]

A lot of the cars I had many moons ago, I don't have pics for. I grab shots from the web, and make notice of such when I post 'em. In fact...MOST of the cars I've owned got away without getting their pitcher took!! LOL

[DPNM]

At least we have our memories of them. Even though no one else can see my old cars, I still can. At least for now.

My very first car was a 1966 Dodge Coronet 4dr sedan.

Very cool car. Easy to carry more folk around too. I think a fried of mine's Dad had one. He was a Mopar guy. My Dad was a GM guy. I learned to drive in Cadillac's.

Don't mean to swear again but my first car was a '67 Mercury Cougar. That is one I would love to still have. You don't see them anymore. And I'm not a Ford fan.

I always wanted a '67 or '68 Cougar.

It is the only body style of them I like. '69 on-meh.

I did have a number of Datsun Z & ZXs. I had a '77 280Z that was set up for Autocross. That is the car I learned how to drive fast...er...quickly in. It handled.
