do the mopars still have that high pitched squealing starter, and does it still rattle going down the road, like in the 60's. jim

Aaah, the good old days.

Mopars were just ahead of their time. Most cars have squealing gear drive starters now, except for the Fo*d junk that sounds like it came off an old tractor!

I was at a friends house, back in the early sixties. A 57 Dodge pulled up, in front of her house and stalled. It was raining. For the next ten minutes. De, De, De, De, De, De, De. Pause. Some Mopars didn't want to run when the weather got damp. De, De, De, De, De Pause. De, De, De, De. Ruh, Ruh..Dead Battery. Guy came back later, and tried again, but it wouldn't start. Car sat there a couple days, then it was on the hook, on the way to Chapman's Garage.

Must have kept raining? Those old Dodges wouldn't run if a dog Pi**ed on the wheel.

The quality of almost all Fiat Chrysler vehicles is pretty low, if gas goes up and trucks/suvs stop selling in huge numbers with big markups, they will have issues. But that doesn't seem to be happening. They sure make a lot of crap cars and the price after 1 or 2 years is half the new price. But I do like the styling of the Challenger and Charger and the V8's have a lot of power.

Yeah, just like the rest of the Big 3 but MOPAR had HEMI

I have a Hemi stored in the bottom of my sand pit in a 57 De Soto. Won't start. Heads are cracked.

There is a big hole in the hood Lonnie. I used a piece and had it upholstered for the seat on the chopper I built in 1971.
