Mopar Family By Chris Antolik

This is my Mopar:

Hi, my name is Chris Antolik. I am thirty years old and live in Cleveland Ohio. I am part of a mopar family. currently I own a 1972 Plymouth Duster (slant six), 1971 Chrysler Newport Custom (383), and a 1972 Dodge Charger (318), my wife also has a 1976 dodge charger (360). My dad has a 1973 Dodge Charger SE (with a transplanted 440 magnum). The pictures above and below are my Charger, I haven't gotten my duster or wife's Charger pictures scanned yet.

My dad has a 1973 Dodge Charger SE (with a transplanted 440 magnum). I have owned Mopars since I was 15, duster was first (still have it) and its been in storage for over 12 years now. I haven't been able to do much with them until recently, they are all currently under construction.

I recently bought my first house and finally have my own garage to work in, yippee. I am using the Newport as a winter project to start with now, it has been an Ohio car all of its life and has a lot of salt inspired rust. A friend and I put a new front sub frame under it a few years ago and it mainly need some body work and some tlc.

I am not looking to make a show stopper out of it, just a nice daily driver for the summer. next on the list will be my charger, with a mild build up and more aggressive look (than the Newport), planning on panther pink with a liberal amount of flat black treatments, i.e. the hood, bumble bee stripe, "Dodge" decal, etc. and finally in a few years I plan on rolling out the duster and pro streeting it with a 440, but with the money constraint right now it will have to wait.

The Duster and Charger are both North Carolina cars and except for some minor dents are in really good shape. My wife is bugging me to have fresh paint on her charger by spring too, too many projects! well thank you for letting me have the opportunity to tell you a little about my collection and I really enjoy your site and seeing other peoples rides.

Thanks - Chris Antolik
