4X4 Mopars........not the truck kind
« on: February 27, 2007 - 05:53:37 PM »
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I just came across it, and figured I'd share it.
Why...........I don't know  :dunno: ......................O, because they are STILL Mopars, Super Swampers or not :lol2:
I'm not sure what my opinion would be, so I'll just show ya some pics.
The link is here if your interested, and French.................... I think  :clueless: :rofl:

We have a member here with a few,he also has the Plum Challenger wagon and he was building the green Superbird clone with the factory style sunroof.I can't remember his name though?Oh ya he had the Challenger vert/hardtop that he was doing also.But he had some Chargers on 4x4 chassis and was talking about making one into a Daytona 4x4.

Yes, he is the first one that came to mind actually.

A very unique Mopar lover for sure  :thumbsup:
Possibly a distant relative of his  :rofl:...................J/K  :cheers:

Here's another one.  I emailed him here and there and he's a pretty cool guy.  He salvaged these cars from Mopar heaven and turned them into monster Mopars.

Unless the frame's completely wasted and not salvageable, then it's rather sad to see them turn into 4x4's.  71RTSEWagon (?) did a good job with the ones he's built as they were really bad when he got a hold of them. :cheers:

Thanks for the pics everyone.  I may be another "crazy" person, but I would love to have a Mopar 4x4.  Not only would it get a bunch of attention, but I would be funny to see the looks on people's faces when you take it mudding.

I like the red neck Rolls the best. Is that a Rollscamino or an Elroyce?

My take is this, the workmansip is there,the money spent is there, so why not just do the restoration the conventional way.  Some of these "conversions" are top notch work, personally just sad to see them on a truck frame and laughed at. Well, I'm not laughing, just  :walkaway: in wonderment and :dunno:

...And here I thought the funniest thing I had ever seen was when I first moved to Maryland in 82. Picture this, an AMC Gremlin jacked up and made into a 4-wheel drive.  :smilielol: I'm sorry I didn't take a pic of it back then. I can't believe someone would put in that much time on a Gremlin.  :grinno:  :smilielol:
