In this episode our guest was Jim Klovas, a Mopar collector,
restorer, and all around great guy. Jim discussed his collection of
desirable Chrysler classics and talked about how he came to acquire
and restore them. Of course, the elephant in the conversation
(Mopar pun intended) is the fact that Jim stores his Mopars in a
Government built Bomb Shelter, so we talked quite a bit about that
as well!
Jim restores Mopars to a very high level and has concentrated on Chrysler products as a way to focus his efforts and get to know about what he is restoring. He has known Mopars since birth, and shared that his dad's step-father knew and worked side-by-side with Walter P. Chrysler as a machinist on the railroad! Walter had some crazy ideas about leaving the railroad and going into the car business.....and the rest is history.
Jim's list of vehicles includes:
1 ) 1950 Dodge pickup his uncle purchased new
2) 1968 Coronet 500 two door hardtop
3 ) 1968 Hemi Roadrunner (co-ownership)... |
