This was my stepdads, he was a Mopar nut, sure miss him, I try to take it town when I get time, brings back a lot of good memories.
Pretty much everything on the car is Mopar except the body, he did it all.

He could repair a broken egg shell and fix the crack of dawn, guys like him are few and far between.

My Dad is a Mopar guy. Dart Swinger with a 340 was his first new car! I have owned some Mopars but nothing since 2001.

Get rid of that front plate! That belongs on a Chevy, not a Mopar. LOL. I use to see Da Grump at the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame banquet in Gainesville in the early 90's. Him and Linda Vaughn were really close and he would always sit with her. Bill was a real character.

He drove a white ‘65 for a couple years.

Brush up on your drag racing history!

Post above is correct. Jenkins drove a '65 A990 HEMI Belvedere in the 1965 season and dominated stock class.

Bill started off with Chevrolet in the early 60's then Chevrolet pulled out of racing sometime early or mid 63 if my memory is correct and in 64 & 65 is when he drove the Hemi Mopars. Bill will always be known for his Chevy's not the 2 season's he drove a Hemi Powered vehicle. But your right very few people knew that he drove a Hemi car for 2 years.

That's why I put that plate on. Even many die hard Mopar guys didn't know he ran a '65 Plymouth. Makes for interesting conversation at the cruise in's.

WAY BACK in the day, had a 65 Chevy II 4 door station wagon.
350 HP 327, 221 4 speed and a 456 Posi rear end.
Munch, munch, Mopars for lunch.
Sold it before I killed myself.

I've always been a fan of the Power Wagon's. Had a 78 and a 83 for years, then bought a 2012 brand new. While it is a great truck, it doesn't hold a candle to the older ones. Too many electronic nannies, and only comes with an automatic tranny.
But, It still does everything I need it to do.
