June 2008 Member of the Month
Rich Moyer I've been a Mopar Rebellion club member for
several years. The first car I ever remember seeing was a 1969 Plymouth Road
Runner when I was about 4 or 5 years old while sitting in my parents’ 1964
Plymouth Fury. I've been a Road Runner (car and cartoon) and Mopar fan
ever since. I still have the first car I ever bought - a
1974 Dodge Challenger
340 A/T that I got on April 26th (426), 1985. I've had numerous
other cars over the years including: 1974 Dodge Dart
1972 Dodge Challenger
1971
Plymouth Duster
1973 Dodge Dart 1968 Plymouth Road
Runner 1971
Dodge Demon 340 1976
Plymouth Duster
1969 ½ Plymouth Road Runner 1977 Dodge Warlock
1976 Dodge Aspen
R/T
1957 Dodge D100 pickup 1977 Dodge D100 1977 Dodge Aspen
SE 1967
Dodge Dart GT Conv 1980 Plymouth Volare …plus a few others I can't remember
right now. I currently have a 1971 Plymouth Duster 340
that I took over when my father passed away a few years ago. It was
a 1 owner car that was completely restored by us around 1989. It's still one
of the nicest Dusters on the planet. I really should drive it more often but
due to the circumstances...I prefer to keep it safe at home. My current project is a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner
that I bought as a complete basket case from a fellow club member in 2000.
The entire restoration has been a nightmare so far but thankfully it's almost
done now. When I get time I'll update the story on my "member projects"
page. I recently bought a 1969
Road Runner from an old friend of mine. It's a really
clean driver that has all its original body panels, a rebuilt 383, a rebuilt
727 trans and a few nice options. It might eventually turn into the Hemi,
4spd car I've always wanted, but in the meantime I really enjoy driving it
just the way it is. This is me as a kid. Top

my wall from the time I was about 4. Top right: This is of my 7th
birthday party in 1972 and yeah that's an original 70 Super Bee shirt that
I have on. Bottom left: Yes, that's a real Plymouth jacket that I have
on while sitting in my Road Runner pedal car! Bottom right: I'm sitting
in the pedal car (pre-stickers) wearing a white racing suit that said
"Petty". Oh well, I guess that's it for now. I really
like being a member of the Mopar Rebellion club. It's small and family
oriented and we have some really great guys and gals. Thanks!!
