Mopars were hated and slandered pretty bad by the March 1971 issue of Hot Cars and High Performance Stockers, their stupidity is likely why they don't exist anymore


Holy shit. They called the 'Bird a turd. Ignorant? Instant awesome and collectible. Nice spelling of Gotham you assholes


the only on call hoodscoop I can think of on any car ever made. Their sarcasm aside, it was cool, tuff, and boss


Contrarily, I think the 71 Barracuda was very good looking due to the grill and gills


Looks like a Duster, and yeah, it's paint wasn't high quality, because the Duster was about the cheapest car you could by from Plymouth


Might be a jargon term, but "Limp"? Dimple maybe


thanks to J for sending me this from the March 1971 Hot Cars and High Performance Stockers

  2. "Limp"? Maybe they meant to write lip? Anyway, to me it looks like someone from brand X was slamming Mother MoPar because they didn't like the fact that Chrysler Corp. was basically handing them their collective asses at the assorted racing events. Hey, I just say, ya know?

  3. What's REALLY odd is that they are a year late on the Superbird comment. The model was already discontinued!!!

    1. Damn Scooter, you're right. And just think, if you are lucky enough to have one of these limited number (lemon) Superbird's in your possession it's worth a fortune today. Even with the crappy economy.

  4. They actually slammed all of Detroit's auto makers.....I was only interested in the Chrysler Corp. section.

  6. The guy that wrote the "Lemons" article went by the stage name: Seymore Balz.

    No where do I see his real identity revealed.
