Check out www.factoryfive.com for a couple thousand in savings. Adios Allante!
Course it would have been nice if they had picked the "Cad Allard." (almost forgot where I was posting.)

Five minutes away and for the past twenty years. What a great spot to stop by for a cup of coffee and some car talk. Some day the Allante will go and as long as I can still lay on my back and hold a wrench!!
I think I have mentioned that four years ago when #1 son built a new house he stipulated on a three car garage so that he will have the room for a Factory Five" when his #2 daughter finishes college. She will be a senior this year.

I am a collector of a certain make of vehicles. Hopefully I wont be chastised, but my fiancee and I collect dodge products. From tiny toy cars to real cars, we have quite a collection. While it is mostly collectables, die cast cars and such, we have some rare items, and we are working on having an actual car from each decade. We current have covered the 70s, 80s (3) , 90s (2), and 00s. I have been in a few magazines for my first car, my 1983 Dodge Mirada. I recently also acquired a 1972 Dodge Demon, and later this week I will be looking at a 1992 Plymouth Laser AWD Turbo.

Here are pictures of a few of our vehicles:

Considering that they are Dodge products, they are always breaking...so they are all constant projects...

i'm thinking that maybe "project cars" is more accurate. no?

Not sure what the correct title is, mine is far from a project, it has every piece of chrome, every interior part and runs like a top, reliable, probably in better condition than may folks regular everyday car, never hesitated to take it on a 100 mile trip. Has only 60,000 original miles. The only thing I do to it is wash, wax and burn rubber.

my demon is a project car...it has a full fiberglass front end, disc brakes, aftermarket suspension, and a new drivetrain.

and yes, that LeMans looks nicer than most peoples DD...very nice car.

your may be the exception.
check out the red Duster on the flatbed.

we used to have a blue one, got 4mpg with the
340 MOPAR modified and extra slicks for the strip.

those were the days.

sold it, the guy handed over the cash and he pulled it out of the garage,
then drove off and proceeded to plow into the curve and block wall
three blocks away as he smoked them for the full lenght of the block.

TOTALED!

what a deal he got.
i think i cried that day - (i said i think).
