New to this website, just an old mopar racer & fan.

Started racing back in the late 50's and it lasted for 50 years with 80% of the involvement being with this brand. My neighbor was Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins, worked for him after school, evenings & weekends as a kid running his Sunoco station in Berwyn PA, while Grumpy, Dave Strickler & Jere Stahl along with others worked in the back. Fun times for a kid & bad times for saving money, everyone wanted to be a hero.

My '64 Jenkins tuned while still in PA.

My '69.5 A12 car in Denver (tuned with phone calls to Grumpy if needed).

This guy was a big help when he was in Denver with one of his Mopar Performance Schools. He would help with issues I was having with the thin air to advise on weight control.

F/SA & G/SA days at Brainerd before bringing to Colorado with rebuild.

This is the car after a total rebuild top to bottom in Denver.
