Mopars can be great, but there is room for pleanty of other makes IMO. AN old school HEMI is a beautiful sound.

I do not agree Mopar or No Car....
Most Morpar's were Butt Ugly....especially in the 60's
and 70's...Yes including the General's "01"
But will admit its hard to beat the sounds
and loping of a old fuel blown Hemi idling.
Balurp......Balurp......Balurp......Balurp
Yep these sounds were bad to the bones.......

Ugly? Eh, that's a matter of opinion, but Chrysler certainly was "aggressive" in styling. And I admit some body designs were things only a Mopar man can love. I love the 62 Dodges (Polaras, 330s, etc.) but few others did. But I couldn't tell you how many I had run well over 100,000 miles trouble free. In fact, my old '91 Dodge Dakota pick-up has 181,000 and still runs and looks great. It's the latest in a long line of high mileage Mopars I've had. They run forever! Slant Six is the best, toughest, and most dependable engine ever made by anybody. The small block 318 is the same among V-8s. No small block was quicker than the 340. And what's cooler than a '59 DeSoto Adventurer or a '59 Fury rag? I've owned Mopars for 20 years and can't imagine a time I'd own anything else.

My MOPAR
'69 A108 - fastest I've hit so far on the strip - 17.54 in the 1/4
Can't afford a better carb like I need to get it under 14's?
This is my daily driver

I am a chevy man now. But my first car was a 73 plymouth duster 318 S.B. 903.?----cant remembeer the # -----torqueflite. I would have stuck with chrystler but i found out how expensive they were to build. I wanted to swap the S.B. for a B.B. then I found out that you had to find a B.B. K member. That's hard to do for a teenager with little money. That was a shame because a friend gave me a 400 out of a cop car,It had a thermoquad that you could drop a coke can through. to bad chrystlers were'nt more universal I might have been hooked. I still had fun with the 318 though those things just wont blow.

That's what I am looking for to put into my 5 window 1967 Dodge A100 pickup, a 318.
It's sitting on blocks waiting for a new engine and drivetrain.
Stole the tranny from it and put it into the van.
I am into slant6 motors so finding a V8 is not high on my list right now! LOL
Anybody can slap an 8 into a rig and make it fast - just buy it and bolt it up
A slant 6 takes a little more work to get it into the fast zone!

The Slant Six is the best engine ever. You can't kill one if you tried. Yes, it does take some work to get them into the fast lane, but it can be done. I had one in a '74 Dart and it went okay, but I had the car 12 years and replaced an electronic ignition box and a heater core -- nothing else. And it was my beater; it got a lot of hard miles. With the Barracuda, it has always annoyed me the Pony Car class is called that. It really should be the Fish or Fin Car class because the first '64 Barracudas came out just before the Mustang. And they're pretty similar, in that they were both "sported-up" versions of their compacts. The Mustang was really a Falcon in disguise and the Barracuda was a dressed-up Valiant. And you A-100 fans, the president of the A-100 Club of America is from around here. He runs a garage in a town called Tamaqua. He's got about six of them. Outclass the Econoline or the Vandura anytime!

My cuda is a 69 fastback, its got a stroked 340, its now a 416 ci with Race W2 heads. It has ran 9.90's in the 1/4, street driven tagged and insured using pump gas. I have had many A body mopars over the years and have learned from each build what to get to make them faster and lighter. I wont drive any other make unless its a rental...Im die hard, I bleed mopar...Phill
