That's correct. It also means: M ost
                                           O ver
                                           P riced
                                           A uto
                                           R estoration

I'm finding that meaning of MoPar first hand with my 69. If you look at other restoration/parts catalogs for Mustangs, Camaro etc, it's A LOT cheaper. I've noticed at least a 25% to 50% more retail cost for MoPar restoration and afterrmarket replacement parts over similar GM and Ford parts. I could have had a totally restored 68 or 69 Camaro done with half another Camaro complete for the amount of cash I have in my Charger. It's a labor of love....... Well that's my  :Twocents:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
