Non-Mopar that I have owned?

That is a pretty limited number of choices, being 4 total. 3 were bought, or traded to sell or to junk out, I never actually even drove any of those.

The one non-Mopar I did own and drive was the 1st car I bought. My dad picked it out, bought it, and I paid him to buy it for a full year. Thar car was a 69 Buick 2 door hard top. It had a Buick 350, 2 speed auto trans, and a posi rear end. In less then 10,000 miles I had to replace 3 motors, I put in 3 sets of rear wheel bearings, blew up the posi, and had a slipping trans. The car looked great, but it sure didn't hold up to this teenage driver. As soon as I made that last payment to my dad, I traded that heap off on a 72 Plymouth Satellite Sabering Plus with a 318, 727, and 3:23 8 1/4 rear. I and then my new wife put over 70,000 miles on the Plymouth (I drove it as hard as I drove the Buick). In all those miles, I did have to have the trans rebuilt after about 50,000 miles of abuse.

That one non-Mopar I have owned I would never want again. After many years of pulling wrenches, there isn't much outside of the Mopar camp I would buy. My newest ride is an 04 and it is my wife's car she loves her 04 PT Cruiser, but I won't work on it. Good thing I don't plan on buying any new vehicles, not much Mopar choice out there these days, and nothing else interests me at all.

The stuff I drive is old Mopar with 90s Mopar tech under the old sheet metal.

Poorboy the Buick does look nice and that's a cool old picture, but I'm with you; non-Mopars not needed smile I've never owned anything but Mopars and a quick count probably around 15-20 to date up Currently 3

Is that a Silver Magnum across the street? Maybe not 1978 yet.

I've owned several non mopar vehicles, most were junk, but if I ever were to own another as a keeper it would be a 64 Riviera, or possibly a 64 Galaxy IF it was a 427, 4 speed car.

The picture with the Buick would have been 74 and 75. The car was gone shortly after my 19th birthday in Sept, 1975. That picture was taken at my parents driveway. Those neighbors across the street had a lot of high performance cars, but mostly GM cars, which I would guess that one to be. I moved from their home in early 1976.

I liked my 69 until I built my 65.

Since I've never had a Mopar, I'll respond in kind.
