I think a lot of us are born into certain car makes depending on what our dad's were into, and then they become our favorite. I was born with a 1965 Mustang Fastback HiPo in my driveway, so I became a Ford and Shelby fan. But growing up watching Dukes of Hazzard, I knew that someday I would own a Charger, which happened 6 years ago when I bought a '68. Now I have a Barracuda as my next classic to own in the next few years. It's been fun learning all about Mopars, codes, colors, engines, they are all just so cool.

Welcome. I know some of the Mopar weenies say 'Mopar or no car". However, I have probably worked on more of my buddy's GM's, Chevrolet's, Pontiac's, Buick's, Oldsmobile's, Ford's, Mercury's, and even Lincolns and AMC's. I love and enjoy all classic cars. Regardless of make or models.

Welcome to FEBO. As I too had a learning curve. 68 302 cp, 67 390 GT fastback. Late one night with the clock pegged. I got dusted by a 340 duster only seeing the taillight doing a little dance as the thermoquad kicked in and diapered. I don't miss those days.

The Charger was a crazy build. I bought it as it looks as a roller with a built Dana 60. I had a 400/500ci stroker built, Lunati solid roller cam and ported Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads. It has an 8 point cage that I had to have mostly rebuilt, motor set back 8", custom K member, suspension, 3" exhaust all the way to tailpipes. Custom dash I designed using the gauges it came with. All kinds of lunacy. The Mustang was restored in 1989 when I turned 16, got in lots of trouble with it, it's a miracle I didn't wad it up.
