IMO, its sad Mopar never had a small car along the lines of the Pinto, Vega, Monza. The Colt/Cricket combo just seemed much smaller than those former three.
I liked the Monza....Pinto and Vega didn't do anything for me. A friend of mine way back had a Monza with a V6. Quite a little screamer. Today, a different friend has one with a 350 in it. It moves along ok...lol

I agree, I thought the Monza wasn't a bad looking car.... for a Chevy LOL   I guess the closest think Mopar made to compare with that size of car was the A-body's? Although they were a bigger car?  The Colt, Cricket, and Arrow were smaller than a Monza ? No?  IMO those "Mopars" were nothing to brag about....
What about the late '70's Challenger?....lol....quite a little $h!tB0x...compares with the pinto...lol

The Monza was also available with a 262 V8 and they went pretty good. I had one as a loaner car twice and you could blow off the Ford 5.0s without too much effort.  :cheers:

Filled the tank and put stabilizer in the 74 and 12 Challengers.  😔

Stabilizer in both tanks and both 71s are ready for the winter. Tomorrow, another Challenger goes on the empty stall side to start a 2 year street resto with the grandson. It's a 72 that he wants to make into a 70. We'll see how it goes.

Took a drive to my friend's shop and got the inspection done. The car gets lots of attention when it comes out. You do not see too many E bodies on the streets around here.

Same around here. This summer (Not counting car shows) I saw a grand total of two other classic Mopars being driven. One was a Plum Crazy '70 340 'cuda, and the other was pre 1970 convertible Barracuda. I still get "Nice Charger"... :Thud: Nothing against Charger's, but they aren't even similar! Well, they are both very cool.  8)

Weather forcast, looks like today will be the last nice day so I too did the fuel stabilizer thing and put her to bed for the winter.

Same here.    :(. I'm just glad that's all this rain has not changed to lumpy white stuff.

Lumpy white stuff up here... :tired:

Well...I bought a Jeep TJ in the summer so I'm gonna go see how it likes snow.

I keep thinking that all the project cars must be either fixed up or parted out by now...ebodies are a pretty low production musclecar compared to Mustangs and Camaros...how many can be left still....and then someone posts up another project to build.
@71vert340  :clapping: Congrats on scoring a project car. What are your plans for it?
