This is my Dodge:
Some photos of my Mopars, I have three 1968's . A Yellow 1968 Dodge
Coronet R/T # Match 440 /727 , column shift. A Red 1968 Dodge
Coronet R/T, 440, 4 Speed, Dana 60 and a 1968 Dodge Charger # match
383, 727. Have owned them all since 1980, I currently have the 440
out of Red R/T for overhaul. I owned a Service Station after I got
out of the army in 1971 and bought and sold ALL Kinds of Muscle
cars! Some were just left along the freeway and I towed them to my
station. |

If you have visited
the MOPAR Nationals, at the I70 & 158 Kirkersville Ohio exit there
is a Flying J Truck Stop there Now. However back in 1971 My Parents
owned the Farm Land, I-70 was just being completed west of that
exit. The ESSO Then changed to EXXON ,Oil Co and wanted to Build a
station at that location. The land was leased to the oil company, I
got the dealership station after Viet Nam. Had it for 7 years then
The oil/gas shortage came along. Sold the dealership, bad luck the
new owner was there for 6 months then a tornado leveled the station.
Held on to the land then sold it to Flying J, no more corn or bean
Planting! |

When I got out of the
Military in 1971, I Had $500.00 in the bank, a new Wife and a 1968
Coronet 440, 4 Speed, Dana 60 R/T! Black with White Interior. Well I
returned to Flying in the National Guard, and some how also became a
Commercial Airline Pilot. Now retired 30 Years Military and
Commercial Helicopters and Jets, flying all kinds of Aircraft.
However there is just something Special about 1968 MOPAR MACHINES. |
