Mopar Muscle Association UK

I like Bentley's, a good friend of mine from uni is an engine designer at Crewe. His first job when he went there was running the V8's and W's until they went pop, then taking them apart to see what broke! Awsome job. Second only to the guy who fires frozen chickens at jet engines! Some of those engines they test up there are making 1000 Nm torque! Pretty impressive for a 'run the kids to school in Chelsea' car.

My boss has a lovely '29 he's just restored, and the other week he was driving me round Mooresville in his original '26 Model T (that was an experience!) And he even gave me a job, (just goes to show that even us guys driving Aussie Chargers can get on in life).

Personally I'd still take a 404-406 Bristol and if money was no object I'd be driving a Bristol Fighter to work. Those guys had the balls to do to the Viper engine what Chrysler should have, and even more balls to refuse to let any of the media touch it.

It is a Mopar? Like Dave said - a Cousin.

[quote="Dave]I couldn't afford a Jensen or a real Mopar when I bought my 318 Oz Charger in 1982. The Charger was only £500.[/quote]

a low price does not make it any less of a Mopar

and that £500 could be £10K now if you can find someone to ship it back

you are now looking at £60-£80k price tag for an e38/e49 aussie RT. The knock on effect to all other aussie chargers has been quite dramatic

Its Aussie and its Mopar

tis only here where they are treated with contempt

Oh I would have another one Dave. I had more fun in that car than any car I have ever been in.

But I also had the most frustration with keeping on top of the rust.

dave is spot on the aussie charger rotted like hell over here, so did the aussie fords, and i dont think it is so much that they are aussie cars its the fact they are rhd, that people dont take to em to much, and possibly the allegro grille and lights etc

that big old arse was always gonna end uo on the ground like that, did it still have the mtr, or pinto powered

Sounds like a lot of women I used to know...
Think it was a 3 litre V6 Ford..

Nice car...........but is it a real MOPAR????

No way is it a MOPAR. A handbuilt English gentlemans sports tourer that just happens to use a MOPAR engine and trans,simply because there was nothing made in England that would do the job.

And it's dog ugly in my opinion. The fronts ok'ish but the back end is all wrong and does not go with the lines of the car at all!

What`s"DOG UNLY" then..............................is that a SCOTTISH word???

what a PERFECT answer julian, i have got a bentley but would STILL have a conversation with SAY someone with a 69 ROADRUNNER

Bless you!

Agree Jensin defo not a MOPAR. A great car, yes, but the styling not for me. [/quote]

Then let me ask you this....................if a JENSEN was entered in the 2009 Euro nats as the most original MOPAR, would it be accepted, and could it win Best car???
