Mopar Survivors 2012

If you have a “very nice” old MOPAR and would like to participate in a “MOPAR SURVIVOR” display; complete the application (available below) and return it. General criteria is 25 years of age, “unrestored original.” Striving for 80% originality throughout. This is a display without judging.

Mopar Survivors Logo and application graphic  Download the Mopar Survivors 2012 Schedule and Application as a Word Document.

Note: This Mopar Survivors 2012 Schedule and Application is also available to download as a .PDF document.

Mopar Survivors MISSION:
The first objective is to preserve the nice old MOPARS and gather them together for reference displays to show them as they were years ago.
The second objective is to get all of the owners together for the displays to have fun and enjoy their MOPARS. This is not a club with a membership. Any Mopar that meets the criteria, and would like to attend a show, can sign up. There is not, and will not be any competition within this group.

CRITERIA: UNRESTORED / UNRESTIFIED MOPARS at least 25 years old, (REAR WHEEL DRIVE ONLY). Striving for 80% each; of the paint, interior, and drive train. Must be as “factory installed or applied.” It does not mean repainted to the correct color or rebuilt to the original specifications.

We want the display to present each vehicle to best represent it the way it is after Surviving all these years. Maintenance and normal repairs are acceptable as well as minimal accident repair. Rust repair is not acceptable. Component replacement; such as belts, hoses, exhaust, tires, etc. is expected.

To maintain a high quality display, we recommend replacing components with similar items such as correct tire type and size, correct battery, stock appearing exhaust, correct hose clamps, belts, etc.

If your Mopar is going to participate in one of these displays, we will ask for two pictures and a short story of how it survived over the years. This will become part of the display. If you have any questions, please ask Mel K. Major. [Mel’s contact information is on the Mopar Survivors 2012 Schedule and Application, above.]
