    My old rides

    Before I got sucked into the turbo fwd mopars I had a few old school ones.



    The 63 Savoy was my first car it had the 225 slant six, 3spd column shift. Manual everything. I really miss that car, it would have a big block now had I kept it.



    I traded the Savoy on this 73 Roadrunner, it was a 340 4spd car and ran nice, was originally F8 green but got repainted Plum Crazy sometime in the 80's. It had a black vinyl bench seat interior and a pistol grip shifter. I had the usual work done to it, headers, intake, cam, holley carb etc.. It would run in the 13's at the track, not too bad for a big car with a little motor.

    You really should have kept that one. I kick myself for passing on a 100% rust free '63 Dart with a /6 and pushbutton TF tranny.

    Re: My old rides

    69 Dart Swinger was my first car ever/ I'd love to tell you about the 340/4spd it had but it was a 225/auto It actually got towed away and the impound fees built up while I was on vacation for a couple weeks, then i couldn't afford to get it out of hawk because I had a new daily driver. Man was I a fool...

    gosh that sucks! I wish I could've lived back then to say I've at least owned one. The oldest mopar I drove was my grandfather's 82 Ramvan....I miss that van too. I always liked the dog dish hub caps. Wonder how they would look on a daytona?

    EDIT: I'm 19 years old btw....so yeah my daytona is just a year younger than myself if that

    Lol, lived back then wasn't that long ago..

    I drove the Savoy from 92-94 and had the Roachrunner from 94-02.

    Kevin, your right on I should have kept the Savoy. I was 18 when I traded it thinking the Roadrunner would get me more tail. At the time purple paint, glasspacks, air shocks, and fat Mickey Thompson's just seemed like the right decision...

    Nice cars!

    I too had an old Mopar.
    Sold it when I was in the Navy stationed in Japan.
    Would be worth 3X's what I sold it for!


    Now I have this family crusier!

    Re: My old rides

    All I want in the world is:

    A 63/64/65 Savoy / Belvedere / Fury....

    I *LOVE* old B bodys, the Plymouths were just better looking than the same era Dodges.

    I about pooped my pants Saturday morning, me & RacinNathan were out at our favorite junkyard on a scouting mission, ran across a compete and intact 65 Belvedere II, solid with a 318/727!!!

    BUT, it is a 4 door - if it were a 2 door it would be MINE!!!

    Re: My old rides

    Hey Tracy, buy it for parts and I'll put you on the trail of a '65 Belvedere II 2 door hardtop you can fix with it. Same guy that has the '65 has a '63 Savoy 2 door hardtop and a '64 Dodge Polara 2 door hardtop, all are kinda rough though but could be fixed if someone had the parts.
