Check out this cool 1979 Ramcharger owned Joseph Blankenship in Delaware. It still has its original drive train and paint, and is showing just 70,000 miles on the odometer.

Modern ’71 ‘Cuda
Remember I showed you that new old Charger based on a 300C? Well how about a ’71 ‘Cuda based on a new Challenger? I think if Chrysler built this, people would go nuts. Photos were shot recently at a show in Langley, BC. More pics after the jump! Via Moparts
1968 Sox and Martin Barracuda for Sale
An actual 1968 Plymouth Barracuda once owned by Sox and Martin is for sale! It was the last car actually raced by Sox with documentation to prove it. It is 1 of only 50 factory-made drag cars meant for the elite teams. These cars do not become available very often. This is a true piece of Mopar history. Albeit, one at a quarter of a million dollars. See the listing at RPM Motor Cars with more info on the car atStreet Legal TV. And be sure to check out more pictures after the jump!
Write For Mopar Blog!
Yeah, we don’t pay anything. But think of the glory! Think of the bragging rights! The media access! The fun and excitement of seeing your name on the contributor list of the best little Mopar site on the interwebs! All we ask is that:
1) You 100% know your sh!t. (If you can’t tell the difference between a ’68 and ’69 Road Runner from a 100 yards away and/or “A12” means nothing to you, please do not apply. Enthusiasm is great, but it does not make up for lack of real knowledge.)
2) You can be somewhat regular with our posts. (Like, maybe once per week? Actual writing skills, punctuation and spelling is optional cause we can fix that stuff.)

Scat Pack Coming Back?
From 1968 to 1971, Dodge had a club for the owners and fans of its muscle cars called the Scat Pack. Well, as Allpar reported, Chrysler recently renewed its trade mark on the name “Scat Pack,” so many people are hoping that the Scat Pack will make a return! Time will tell…
Second Generation Barracuda Fastback in the Weeds
Cars In Barns recently added this picture of a Barracuda needing some attention on their Facebook page. It kinda makes a person weak. I don’t see any side marker lights so maybe a ’67?
Reader’s Rides: Mark Brooks’ 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger
You guys might remember that Mark provided us with the great pics from the 2013 Mopars in the Park. And also the pics from the Junkyard in Turlock, California. Well, Mark also has a very cool ’71 Dart Swinger project that he’s been working on for several years now. Here’s the word from Mark:
This is what it had when I bought it:
engine: 318
trans: Torqueflite 904
rear: 7.25″ one legger
color: GY3 (Citron Yella/Curious Yellow) this color was used by Mopar ONLY in 1971, less than 3% of the Dodge Darts made for ’71 were painted this color.
I immediately started tearing into it.. quickly finding that the previous owner thought it would be a good idea to use power steering fluid in the brake master cylinder (d’oh!), so I knew the entire brake system would need an overhaul.
Read the rest from Mark and see all the pics after the jump!
1960 Dodge D100 on eBay
A recent addition to Bring A Trailer, this restored D100 looks to be a very nice driver. The owner added several upgrades in the way of power steering and brakes but it still maintains “that look.” Still powered by the original 318 and 4 speed. It has a Rhino-lined bed with a few dents. Well, it is a truck after all. See the posting here. I want a full size mural of the picture in front of the pumps on my garage wall! More pictures after the jump.

1968 Dart as Spec’d Out by an Engineer
What happens when an engineer with a demand for detail acquires a heavily modified ’68 Dart powered by a 6.1 Hemi and sporting a Keisler transmission, B&M shifter, RMS suspension and a Strange Dana S60? Tear it down and build it again of course! The car went through a major second rebuild with virtually all new sheet metal, suspension, interior and an Indy Cylinder Head 6.1 Hemi. All that and he kept the Strange Dana S60! End result: 660 HP at 6900 rpm. You can’t second guess the man. Find the full story, and the build-in-process pictures, at Street Legal TV. More pictures after the jump.
