This is my 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe. I spotted this car in an old worn down barn, when I was hunting. I went to the nearby house, an elderly lady answered the door, and I asked her about it. She said it had belonged to her deceased husband and had been there for 7 years, ever since he had passed away, and she didn't want to sell it. I stopped 2 or 3 times a year, for the next ten years, to ask about it. The tenth year, she asked me if I was going to buy it to sell. I told her I was going to buy it, fix it up, and drive it. She told me that if I would fix it up and come take her for a ride, every once in awhile, I could have it. I had to almost force her to take $1,800 for it and I started at $2,500, which I thought was fair, not knowing anything about the real condition of the car. She finally took the $1,800. I took the car, towed it to my shop and went to work on it. It was the first year for the L head six, engine. I replaced all the wiring first, pulled the spark plugs, and poured some Marvel Mystery oil, down the plug holes, then put the plugs back in, and turned the engine over, a couple dozen times. I did that twice a day for three days, pulled the old plugs, turned the engine over a whole bunch of times to blow out all the excess oil, put new plugs in, and on the fourth try, it started up. I had a black oil cloud, about 3 city blocks long, but when all that oil burned off, it didn't smoke any, and it ran as quiet as a sewing machine. I redid the interior, painted it, took that lady, Mrs, Satterfield, for a lot of rides before she passed away. When I sent off the serial number, vin number, I found out that it had been assembled on April 14, 1949, the day I was born. This is my one in a million shot, MOPAR! My MOPAR and I are the same age, but it's in a lot better shape!

This is a 1968 Plymouth Satelite Hemi Convertible, the most erotic car ever made. It was long and sleek, with beautiful curves, and angles, in all the right places. She was a pure sex machine, and when you turned that Hemi over, it would send shudders, all through your body, the sexiest purr you ever heard.

This is a 1968 Plymouth Fury 111, a real boat, heavy and stable, comfortable,and roomy, in the front seat, and back, and we remember how important that was. The 383 engine produced plenty of power, to make it float down the road, she was a real lady.

This is a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible with a 46 Max wedge engine, with 2 four barrel carbs, a 4 speed trans, 8 3/4 sure grip rear, it made around 500 + horsepower, a real beast. For a 15 yr. old farm boy, this was the whole world, my first MOPAR, my first love!
