Title: My '74 Power Wagon I Ordered New in August '73
Post by: KurtfromLaQuinta on October 14, 2019, 04:06:31 PM
I'm kinda new here... but I have a '70 Charger roller I intend to make into a Daytona clone.
I've owned it for about 8 years now waiting for the timing marks to align before I spend the big bucks.
Getting real close.
I plan on doing the build and documenting it all here at DodgeCharger.com.

I've been a fan of anything Mopar ever since I was a follower of Dick Landy in the mid 60's.
I have owned almost only Mopars since I got my driver's license in '70.
My first Mopar purchase was my 1974 Power Wagon... that I still have.
It's been a long trip for sure... it'll be 46 in December.
For the complete story... if you have lots of time... check it out here...

Me too.
There's not a lot of them around in decent shape anymore.

I also have a lowly '09 Challenger Classic R/T.
But it did come with a Lifetime Warranty on the drivetrain... the fools.  :icon_smile_big:
Ours is the red one...

In 8-10, maybe 20 years, when you file a claim, good luck with your lifetime warranty !!
