“It’s got a plastic cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plastic plant, it’s got plastic cop tires, plastic cop suspension, plastic cop shocks. It’s a model made before plastic catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular plastic gas. What do you say, is it the new Lego Bluesmobile or what?” It’s the entire mall chase scene from The Blues Brothers but done in Lego! I still hate to see any C-bodies wrecked though, even plastic ones. As seen at BangShift. Videos after the jump!
The latest installment of Roadkill has Freiburger and Finnegan competing at the 24 Hours of Lemons in a 1973 Plymouth Fury. I hate to see these boats ending up at demolition derbys and the like (I have a 1974 Fury) but I gotta admit, it’s damn entertaining! Video after the jump!
The 1970 Fury to me is the greatest C-barge ever. But I’m biased–I used to own one. What do you think? I’d love a black Sport Fury GT like this.
Just attended the Fall Fling Mopar Show in Van Nuys, California this weekend, so here are some shots from the show. This event is one of the best kept secrets in the nation, so many good parts show up at this swap meet. More pics after the jump!
1965 was the first (and last) year that a Plymouth was selected as the Indianapolis 500 pace car. The chosen model was the Sport Fury convertible. There were 35 actual pace cars built for the race. Plymouth also produced one replica for each dealership in the country. That number varies between 1,300 and 1,900, depending on who you believe. See a very nice replica for sale on Hemmings.

In addition to the excellent restorations we do here at Rocket Restorations, we also keep our own Mopar registry. When you start to look at the numbers of these cars, by which we mean the VIN number or the fender tag codes or other interesting things, you can find out a lot of information about them you wouldn’t normally see. Patterns start to emerge and you can learn a lot. Need help decoding your Mopar? Send us an e-mail
Did you realize Chrysler still has all the build records for all pre-1967 cars? All you have to do it fill out this form and send it in to Chrysler, just that easy. They will tell you all the options it came with as well as the original selling dealer. Get all the details and forms you need after the jump!
I don’t mind donks but this seems wrong. Someone buy this 1967 Plymouth Fury and put it back. Thanks. (More pics after the jump.)
Today’s reader’s ride is a very cool and original C-body owned by a 16 year old with a passion for old Mopars!
Hey, I’m Maezzi or as they call me Mopar Maezzi, I am a 16 year old girl with a passion and love for cars, I’ve loved cars ever since a little little girl, as I did grow up in a shop including a living area inside, for god sakes we even had a car in our living room! This is my 66 Chrysler Windsor my dad has had her for 20 years and she is now mine..she has never been restored and has all original parts and interior.. for a engine she has a 383 cubic inch she floats like a cloud riding her! I also have a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T custom made from the factory to have all original 1970 Challenger decals on it. This 66 Chrysler runs perfect and is such a beautiful car, who doesn’t like a C-BODY!?
See more pics after the jump, and be sure to check out Maezzi’s page on Facebook!
I swung by the Mopars Unlimited 5th Annual Fred Meyer Meet and Greet up in Everett, Washington yesterday and snapped pics of all the cars. Lots of familiar faces and Mopars, and definitely a cool little show! Thanks to Dave Oz for making it happen! See 80 more pics after the jump!
If you like beer and Mopars it probably doesn’t get a whole lot better than this! More at BreckBrew.com Via Moparts
