INDIANA’S FIRST MOPAR ’10
Here’s the FIRST Mopar ‘10 sold in the state of Indiana. The vehicle belongs to our coworker, John Schultheis—this is his first Mopar and talk about excitement, like a kid in a candy store!
After hearing the Mopar ’10 announcement last year, John had to have one. So with only 500 units being produced he said goodbye to his 40,000-mile Bandit Trans Am! That’s right, he SOLD his “baby” to make room for his new Mopar ‘10! As car #161, the blue stripe Mopar ‘10 is one of only 95 produced. If that’s not rare enough, our facility, Bosak Motors worked with Hurst Performance Vehicles to make this a Hurst M-10, which is #1 of only 1 made. Also, with Bosak’s work and Mr. Norm’s Garage, his Mopar was treated to some phenomenal performance goodies.
Mopar has definitely hit the nail on the head with this car and we had to share this one-of-a-kind vehicle with Mopar Magazine.

BLACK BEAUTIES
We wanted to share a few of our cars with you: a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T, 1963 Dodge Polara 500 with a 426 Max Wedge and 1971 HEMI® ‘Cuda with 426 crate motor. The ‘63 and ‘71 were both done in our shop and the Magnum came to us customized with the shaker from the dealer. That shaker was a prototype so it wasn’t until much later that we ever saw another Magnum with one—which was fine by us! The Polara and ‘Cuda are both recreations but could have come from the factory as they sit since we use only factory-correct nuts, bolts, etc. Even the plug wires for the HEMI are date code correct! Thanks for letting us share our Mopar passion with you.

MY HUSBAND’S RIDE
This is my husband’s 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger with 318 automatic, power steering, disc brakes, new dual exhaust, and 15-inch alloy wheels with BFGoodrich® tires. We’ve enjoyed this classic more than any car we’ve owned. We take it out for rides and enjoy talking to others with old cars. We prefer cruise-ins to the shows.

MODIFIED DAKOTA R/T
Here’s my 2002 Dodge Dakota R/T with a 5.9L. Upgrades include Mopar headers, Mopar M1 intake, Trans-Hughes rebuild kit and SMR valve body, 4.56 gears, sway bars, lowering kit and Nitto 555 tires – front 255/45/17, rear 255/50/17. The Satin Black hood has a functional ‘70 Challenger T/A hood scoop. Interior upgrades include racing seats and gauges. In the future, I plan to install a new cam and lifters, heads and electric fan.
