Mopar’s Top Eliminator Program debuts

Mopar or no car. A well recited mantra amoungst those who chose to shun the masses of Ford and Chevy for a brand that costs a bit more, parts are a bit harder to find, and the cars are a tad more scarce then the other big two. It’s no secret Mopar is hot on the collector market and with the popularity of the new Challenger a whole new generation of muscle car fans are finding the brand.

So today we take a look at some of classics from the Loafer’s Car Club show.
1953 Chevy

Supercharger Wallpaper: Wallpaper Wednesday

Another Wednesday and another wallpaper for your desktop background. Today is a close up of a blower and carbs on a sweet Willys gasser from the Loafer’s car club show.

I think this one tells a good story, what that story is I’ll let you decided.
