    Mopar Origin
    « on: January 11, 2006 - 08:42:59 PM »
    I've heard a million and one stories about the origin of Mopar.  What is the real origin of Mopar?  How did Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth get the name Mopar?  Anyone know the "real" story?    :cooldancing:  ....Oldschool

    MOPAR stands for motor parts.  That is where that came from. 

    For me it means:

    So why are our cars called "Motor Parts" or Mopar for short?  :crazy:

    MOPAR (short for Motor parts) stood for the parts department at Chrysler.  Soooo since our cars are built from those parts . . . .  :smokin:

    So other brands aren't build with motor parts? Boat parts maybe?  :roflsmiley:
