Have older Mopars as daily drivers? If so, how do you like driving them everyday? I was planning on getting a truck once I sell my car, but now am considering getting another Mopar to drive everyday. Opinions?

I use all of my old Mopars as daily drivers. I had a '73 Duster back in '04. I put 14k (in about a year) on it before I sold it. I bought my '68 ragtop in late '04 and have already put 14k on it. I don't drive it in the winter, of course, but I have a '73 340 Dart Sport for that. It's my 'beater' and I'm rolling the miles up on it. I bought a '77 Sport Fury late last year. I put more miles on it in about a month than the previous owner did in 5 years. In contrast I've only put 8k on my '05 Ram 1500 in a year and a half. Dallas missourimopar.com

Dallas, looks like something is wrong with your website. I just tried to visit it and all I got was a bunch of nonsense on a white background.

I'll have to look into that. I just tried it and the same thing happened to me. Thanks, Dallas missourimopar.com

It's working now. I had it fixed. Not sure what happened. Thanks, Dallas missourimopar.com BTW, I put over 100 miles on the ragtop this weekend as well as drove the Dart Sport.

What kind of mileage do you get with a /6? What about a 318?

When I was driving the /6 Duster, it actually got the poorest mileage of all the cars I owned at the time. The best it would do was 16 mpg, I never could get it above that. It did have an automatic and a/c but it still should have been better. The Sport Fury has a 360 and it gets 15-16. The '68 ragtop is a 318 2bbl with single exhaust. It can do 18-20. The Dart Sport is a 340. It only gets about 12 but I play with it alot. All of the cars are stock. Also, most of my driving is fairly short trips. Dallas missourimopar.com
