AMD - List of MoPar parts being discontinued. BUY IT NOW.....

[Mike DC]

Great explanation.  I agree.
My question is this:   Are we simply returning to the economic situation we would have been in 75 years ago, had my dad and his buddies not leveled thier global industrial competition( and bankrupted Great Britain in the process) as  senior class trip?  Is "today" what capitalism really looks like?

Thanks.

I think we're already there.  The competing factories are just in southeast Asia now instead of Europe.  

Is this capitalism?  IMO this is corporate rule and inadequate regulation.  We currently get the worst deal on healthcare in the world (not an exaggeration, just data).  There are people caught in credit card interest traps that would impress a mob loan shark.  Many big industries are functioning as monopolies, with a few overgrown companies all working together against the public.  The public even gets the bill for Wall Street's gambling debts when the market crashes.  This is not what healthy free market capitalism looks like.    


IMO the public won't get ahead until a number of changes are made.  Healthcare, tax structure, education, housing costs, etc.  The US public already brings in A LOT of money by worldwide standards.  There is a lot more low-hanging fruit to grab by reducing the costs of living here.

Years ago, there was a bunch of teenage girls having a huge yard sale to raise money
for a trip to Africa, to help the less fortunate.   

I said, "Why not drive down to Detroit and help the homeless there?"   

"You'd save time, the price of airfare and it's safer!"   

The looks on their faces were priceless.       

That is some funny shit.
I am doing better financially than I ever have. Unemployment rates are lower than ever. Seems pretty good with me, why change horses when the one you have is doing well? Everyone else running for the job is a complete jackass !

Cuz the horse has bone spurs and won't make it all the way across the river...
That is some funny shit!

  Why yam on and on about social political conundrums in a topic about car parts? Stupid people get loans they can't repay and know it, they buy stuff they can't afford and know it, they make bad life/personal decisions and know it going in also. No law will ever stop it from happening.
  Most Americans do not fully understand the electoral collage much less business law.

It's a thread.   Threads wander.       

Interesting to hear other views on various subjects.......

Hey all;

I'm working on an article for the magazine regarding this right now. I spoke to AMD and they assured me they are not dropping Mopar. They are simply dropping slow-moving items and doubled items and focusing on more in-demand items. As well as they are working on releasing a whole bunch of new Mopar stuff very shortly. I will share the full press release when it's ready to go. 

I talked with one of their reps today.  He said that for a lot of what's on the disco'd list, they have quite a bit of stock still on hand and will be keeping the tooling so future stampings are not out of the question.  I know you probably can't spill the beans, but should I hold off on buying the 73/74 Charger tabco skins until after the article comes out?  I could really use full OE quarters. 

I've been told they will be releasing a bunch of new 1973-1974 Charger parts very soon.  I have not been told exactly what though but I'd assume quarters would be at the top of the list.

You just made my day.

From the article:

"While we have expanded our Ford and GM lines recently, we are not giving up on Mopar and will be introducing new panels for 1966-1967 Plymouth B-Bodies and 1973-1974 Chargers in the near future. We are test fitting prototypes now."

Here's your chance, guys - if you want 73/74 Charger sheetmetal, let AMD know about it!

Just ordered one of every 72 Charger part on the discontinued parts list with a couple duplicates. Not sure exactly what I'll need, but with 2 72 Rallye cars to restore better safe than sorry. Especially with the blow out prices.

[Montclaire]

The Plymouth dutchman panels will work for Chargers as well with a few tweaks.  Not on the disco list but something to keep in mind.  I'm hoping for 71-74 roof skins, maybe inner/outer rockers as well.

[Chargerguy74]

Yeah that was odd. Reran an old article? When did the quarters first come out?

[Nacho-RT74]

Maybe 5 or 6 years ago?
