I’ve owned this car for seven years. It’s my third Mopar.
I had a Slant 6 powered 63 Valiant convertible in college in the late 80s.
I had a 383 powered 70 Fury III convertible in the mid-90s.
To quote Al Pacino, "Every time I try to get out, they keep pulling me back in!"

Very nice ride, definitely a five star�Please come and check out our 1984 CJ-7, We Call B.O. "Blue Ox" It was hand built with help from Randy's Off Road Connection in Marysville, WA. Clean this thing up and you will win trophies at the local truck show. The front and rear axles were built by CURRIE ENTERPRISES. They both are 6 LUG DANA 44's w/ 11" brake kit and 4:56 gears. The Jeep also has Curries heavy duty rock crawler tie rods, drag links and steering box brace kit. The rear axle has the DETROIT LOCKER and the front has ARB AIR LOCKER. It was lifted 6 inches with Curries rock crawler springs that are connected to the frame with welded Currie spring hangers. �NO LOW HANGING SHACKLES HERE" We get the power to them thru curries balanced custom rock crawler CV drive shafts. It rolls on Mickey Thomson rims W/ 35" SUPER SWAMPER SSR's. I also had them sipped for more wet weather/ winter traction. I keep her riding smooth with RANCHO RS9000 shocks. If it gets stuck I can pull her out with the Warn HS9500I winch. The paint is glacier blue with black interior Water proof bucket seats and full custom roll cage.

Well, obviously I'm not the only one having a issue here. However, it is ashame this is the only place to post comments when you have issues. You would think after all this time, Car Domain would have some type of user forum, for people to express their views of express their frustration. However that would be a bit too convenient. What's even funnier, is the fact they have a "Contact us" page that says," We might be busy doing donuts in the parking garage but we promise to respond promptly!" After 3 request, and over a week and a half...., so much for promptly!While I'm no Web designer Guru, I do know that Car Domains site is long in the tooth and is in need of a major redesign, as opposed to throwing e bay links in the side bar. While I fully expect my comment to be deleted here, thank god I can screen shot it, and post it in my blogs and tag it.Rob States in his blog, " New Car Domain Rating system", " Hopefully this answers more questions than it raises." Not quite..., but hopefully something good will come out of this soon.On the positive side..., you have a nice looking 66 mopar. 5 stars Keep up the good work on the car at least.

I can't login to the blog anymore.... most other things seem fixed, but that is really annoying, especially when other people can.Also, Member Avatars are not showing up on the profile page.Also, the ratings seem out of wack. Probably the only good thing I've noticed so far is now it actually displays all of my friends on my profile page!!! It never did that before.
