Mopar flashback
- Thread starter muleman
- Start date
I can do with out that ugly lip that would make Mic Jagger envious, and the rear tires just don't look muscle car enough but I have always loved big block Chryslers
I do not believe a shaker hood was an option on the B bodies. Any year. Any model. Another non original mod to go with that horrendous front air dam. I do not believe that little stick on phoney air scoop in front of the rear tire was something they did either.
Agree completely. The mods on this car are more appropriate on a Nissan Sentra.
I cannot believe allthetrash talk i read about this car.
the engine bay is flawless,there actually is a rear fin and the Stainless steel air dam is well executied. paint job seems flwless as well as being understated.
As for the rear, I gaurrenttee they cut outthe floor pans to fit those babies in there.
Back in it's day that was how we did things. Especialy an air dam. Nobody made that after market stuff. Laugh if you want but while I would not have modded the car that way but I'd be happy to own it.

Ya, trash talk on a trashed car.
Look, the guys that own concourse muscle cars similar to this one but original, are happier than chit that the guy with this one screwed it up.
Like said, 50k car turned into a 10k car. Or maybe it's a 100k car turned into a 20k car. whatever, huge reduction in value.
I've got 2 2.3 16v 190e cars, an 86 and an 87. I love it when I see some punk get one in mint condition and then proceed to rice it out or screw it up somehow.
With only a couple thousand brought to the US, and the 87's were mostly automatics, yup, let these butchers butcher their cars up. Every time they do, mine get more rare and more valuable. We need rednecks.

I hope it is a parts car, made up of several cars that were all but junk and saved. SO many "ground up restoration" cars these days were what would be considered junk 25 years ago. But time and a rotting corpse have a way of comming back to life when they are worth enough.
If it was a no numbers match hodge podge of parts, hey who am I to even say my opinion, if the owner likes it well enough....But as soon as I can, I will turn my head and chuckle a bit...
It would be alot cooler with a super bird front clip....maybe the rear with the wing too....

190e MB's? Yeah I hate it when someone tarts up a grocery getter like that.
Eye of the beholder thingy Waybomb. That Mopar is hardly a ricer with a fart can so, I just don't think it deserves all the negs.

Funny no one has mentioned the gangsta low-rider mod.
But, hey, with the exception of the gigantic hole in the hood (the original sin) the rest of the crap can come back off.
FOR SALE: 1 stick-on rear wing (fits all models); alum air damn (hardly used); 2 fake air scoops (small - universal fit); 1 can BONDO (unopened).

Being the incurable purist that I am, I have to say I like this one a hell of a lot better. 
Nice looking car. Looks like its all set up to drag race. front air dam to hold front end down. Wide profile tires. engine done up with a shaker hood. Roll bars installed on the inside. Suspension lowered to keep it on the ground. Screams drag car to me. Just my thoughts.
60's muscle cars came from the factory with brute force and little else of note,,,,especialy Mopars. If you are a purist, leave it alone parked in a collectors museum.
Post #14 is an excellent example.
But to truely race them one had to modify.
The OP is an excellent example of that.
Happy motoring
BTW, the fender scoops on #14 are nonfunctional as well.

Correct, but they are original. Not something from JC Whitney.
We know nothing about the build of this car so it is hard to say JC whitney(boy is that a blast from the past) in connection with it. It may verywell be a ken Hensly who did this shaker hood with a NascarHemi at 800 HP.
I'm not sayin' it is , It just reminds me of that shop's work.
There are Fugly versions out there and they go for big bucks. The one pictured here is up for $100 grand. It's not factory.
You know me, I prefer traditional stuff. I want my cars to look factory but with changes under the hood. However,,,,, there is a red stripe on my Crossie.

Kane, perhaps youlioke this hood ornament better?
Oh, I agree. Much better, thanks ... as long as it's not OEM. Might be out-dated by now, if ya know what I mean. A mod like this should necessarily be updated from time to time.
that doesn't look right I would prefer Daisy Duke in her younger years
190e MB's? Yeah I hate it when someone tarts up a grocery getter like that.
Grocery getter that won at Nurburgring three years straight, almost every race, and in almost stock trim. Probably post race did go get some groceries too.
Only a few things DTM did to the cars and engines, and I happen to have a copy of every blueprint for every part DTM built for the race cars.
I have no desrespect for '80's Benzes. They were my favorite. I owned four, a 350 SDL turbo a pair of 450SEL's and a 560 SEL. The last real Benzes made by some accounts.I just have trouble comparing the sexy muscular lines of a 190e to the common, plebean, economy line ChargerRT Hemi.
I still drive a Benz product. Two actually
One NA Crossfire and one AMG powered SRT6.
Both are modded, neither are tarted. And neither are good for groceries.

on mopar one the body work is outstanding with a nice paint job #2 looks right with tires with some sidewalls and centerline rims. those pimp looking wheels just don't work for me. I know that low profile side walls cost less and that is why every one is using them. as for me I will pay for rubber to have a big balloon sidewall on my jeep no 17 or 18 inch wheels for me
gawd to think I used to have erotic imaginations about her as a young preteen
That car, and the Torino/Talladega's, were not even touched by Chevy's. Those cars were dominate on the Superspeedways. Even then, the Ford's were competitive, because of early restrictions to the Hemi's(the first restictor plate motor).
Even on the strip, the Mopars tended to be more heavily restricted(else who could compete with Sox and Martin?)
