Here’s a good reason why you shouldn’t leave you car running and unattended–someone might drive off with it! This happened on Sunday in Oklahoma City and the police have released a video of the theft, hoping to help find the stolen Mopar. Watch the video after the jump and read the full article at newsok.com
Here’s a cool two Mopar family: Michael and Dana Conder’s 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger Special and 1999 Dodge Neon. The Dart is a Slant 6 car and all original except for the American Racing 15” Outlaw IIs. Check out the Neon and see its spec after the jump!
In one year Kevin from Wisconsin transformed this H Code Demon from a roller to a 440-powered show car! The pic below was shot on father’s day 2013. Click through to see the car on father’s day 2012, along with engine and interior pics!
Remember the Toyota-powered Scamp I showed you last month? Well, it’s on eBay now! This is a chance for all the haters to buy it and put it back to Mopar power. But then who knows what kind of project you will be funding next… Full specs from the auction after the jump!
Today’s reader’s ride is Terry Couturier’s 1971 Plymouth Satellite, which he found in a barn eight years ago. It’s powered by a 360 which Terry rebuilt and stroked out to 408 cubic inches. After the jump I have pics of his son’s 1984 Ram and 2006 Ram.

They only built 108 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops in 1971 and I doubt you’ll find one nicer than this. Wearing its original paint with just 2,010 miles, this ‘Cuda is also claimed to be the most heavily optioned 1971 ‘Cuda in existence. And it looks absolutely stunning in Rallye Red with those big billboards. Yeah, it’s an automatic, but I dig the vinyl split bench seat (a $16 option). Lots more pics plus the extensive auction text from the guys at RK Motors after the jump. Yeah, they want almost $2 million for this bad boy but I’d say it’s worth it…
This original, well-documented 4-speed 440 Six Pack Challenger came out of Canada very rusty. Alan Glenn completed a full OE restoration and was able to finish just before bringing it to Carlisle. He had to do new rear frame rails, trunk floor, rear quarter panels, trunk extensions, door skins, hood, etc. Looks great now, though! Via the official Dodge YouTube channel. Check out the video after the jump!
According to Allpar they used both 1971 and 1972 Valiants make the 1971 Spielberg film Duel. In some scenes they even used Darts. If you haven’t seen it before, this is a great movie, and I have it in its entirety after the jump! Peterbilt vs. A-body! Who will win?
Most people agree that triple black = black paint, black interior and black vinyl top (or black convertible top). Makes for one mean combo, especially on a Mopar. There was a great thread on this option combo on Moparts recently, with pics of some very cool Mopars like this triple black 1968 Dodge Cornonet R/T. More examples after the jump, including triple black ‘Cudas and Challengers!
This week’s movie Mopar is the 1971 Plymouth Barracuda convertible from the Brady Bunch. It’s a plain jain B5 318 automatic car, but of course any 1971 Barracuda convertible is cool cause they made so few of them–just 722 in total. I had a hard time finding any clips with the Barracuda on YouTube, but I did manage to find one where Greg is at a drive-in with a date, only to have Bobby screw it up (along with the Barracuda’s convertible top). Check it out after the jump! Pic via IMCDB
