If you had to admit it, what was/is your favorite non Mopar vehicle that you ACTUALLY OWNED. Mine was a Toyota Tacoma pick up. I can actually say I love 80 ~ 88 Toyota pickups as much as Mopar's !!! the 22R /re the best dependable longevity engines EVER made!!! I still have the first (88 2w pickup) I bought 25 years ago with 4 hundred thousand miles on it and still don't use a drop of oil!!!!!!!!!!!!! i currently have 8 Toyota pickups 5 4x4s and 3 2wheel.one is all original 70 k miles and has a dump bed (more for show) once raised its all-stainless steel underneath .. lifted 6 " i call this one Mighty Mouse. The others are all just drivers ... can't go wrong picking them up when they pop up in the 1000 ~ 1800-dollar range ... for about 500 $ you can get all the ball joints uppers lowers shocks wheel cylinders brakes. All the tie rod ends. and then your good to go !! if you do ever have to do a timing chain its 4 hours for the 22R maybe 6 on the RE I sometimes wonder if the boxy shape is why i like the look of both Toyotas and Mopar's? every one of my family has borrowed one of my Toyotas and at times i have two loaded out. the family knows they are there and its why are.

As a young man, I bought and sold MANY cars. I liked a number of them. The Datsun 240Z was cool. A 1963 Buick Riviera was beautifully styled and comfortable. A 1980 Z28 with a four speed was a nice driving, fun car. Without a doubt, my personal non-Mopar favorite was the 1966 Nova. I just loved that car. I love the styling. It was my favorite color. It drove great. It had a newer 350 in it that offered ample power. It was a very fun car!! Unfortunately, it developed some rust in the sub-frame. Back then, I had no idea how to fix it and could not afford to pay a body shop to make the needed repairs, so I let it go. Lots of great memories with that car!!
My all time, ultimate favorite would have to the the 1970 Road Runner. It was a 383 / 4 speed car. A previous owner has swapped in a great running 440. That car would RUN!!! The 440 / 4 speed combination was fantastic!! I LOVED it! That car should have been a keeper.....but I foolishly let it go! At the time, I wanted to buy a 1969 Charger to replace it. Unfortunately, that never happened. Since that time, the prices of Chargers and Road Runners have only gone up..... Both are way out of my price range now!

Mine would have to be the '87 Mazda Rx7 Turbo I owned back in the day. Just wicked fast. Still have my '87. A little bit modified now.

favorite non-mopar that i've actually owned..... have had a couple pontiacs that i really like but hands down it has to be my 08 mustang. bought it in 2019 with only 7500 miles on it, has just over 12,000 miles on it now.. i've done a few day 2 type of mods to it . i just love the car. looks great, drives great, plenty fast enough to get me in trouble and gets over 20mpg. its just a really nice car all the way around... best of all i can "tinker" with it but never have to "work" on it..:)

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com
