I might be taking over the driving of my Dads car, so somebody needs to smack the pedal on the Super Scamp.. I love all my cars, but they have wheels and can roll out the door and in the door for the right CASH. 6930213-KilKare066.JPG (70 downloads) Just One Man's Opinion Mopar Mafia Racing

Then go buy a nova or Camaro race car = they are WAY cheaper to build / race / maintain Its just a tool --why not save yourself a TON of $$$$$$$$$ ???

I am basically broke and getting in deep with my bills. But my 63 is the car I have wanted all my life and I feel like a 10 year old kid on top of the world when I get behind the wheel of my street/strip 63 Sport Fury. It is exactly the car I have always wanted and no matter had bad things get for me I will never sell it. It's about the only real fun I have right now and I have it just the way I want it. It kinda reminds me of my dogs as no matter how down I might be it always puts me in a great mood. So to answer your question........yes I love my Mopar ! Ron

Looked at many when I was without the right funds or they were too far gone. When I found this one, I probably gave too much for it for the condition it was in but, I already had a vision of what I wanted. I dropped the money and started gathering parts to build it to my liking. That took about 6 years longer than I wanted. Now I have had it done for 6 years and I still get gitty when I fire it up. I would love to have another racecar, but not at the expense of this one. I think this one would make a good driver someday. Beep

I decided it was time to start on a different project so something had to go. The race car was getting the least amount of use and cost the most to run so it needed to go to a Good home other then mine. Now it's gone and the next project is slated to get started this spring. I will always have a Good Memory of the car and the Good times we had together. David

I have never gotten attached to any of them or parts. Some parts only lasted 1 run. One of them tried to kill me also, no love for it. I have 2 286" TAD in my shop now. I don't "love" them even though I poured my heart and soul into them. There just steel tubing to me.
