Mopar has always been proud of its fans. A company doesn’t get to celebrate a 75-year anniversary unless it has an incredible amount of support. Giving back to the people who helped the company survive the years is what the Mopar “Top Eliminator” program is all about. Mopar had asked their fans to put the pictures and details of their amazing rides online to see who had the best car. The call was answered far and wide and in order to determine the best of the best, Mopar again is asking the fans to give some aide. It’s time for them to vote on the winner.

Starting today and staying open until October 21st, you can go online to vote on Mopar’s “Top Eliminator.” About 80 people came forward with their vehicles to compete in a contest that looked to have Mopar enthusiasts from all around the county show off their talent in modifying their car. The officials at Mopar have selected 10 lucky people for the finalists.

The candidates were selected and judged based on criteria that included Mopar content, overall appearance, and other things such as the story detailing the building of the vehicle were all taken into consideration. The winner of the contest will be getting themselves the exclusive Mopar “Top Eliminator” trophy. Go online to the Mopar “Top Eliminator” online competition on their Facebook page to cast your vote.

We took a look at the concepts last week that Mopar is bringing to the SEMA show in Las Vegas. Even more information has been coming out of what to expect from the auto part maker when the event goes live.

Mopar is celebrating their 75th anniversary and want to send the message that this is still only the beginning. The show does seem to be, for the company, to be proving something. Whether or not that is their intention, they are definitely bringing their A-game.

The most exciting car that will be debuting is the Viper SRT. Outfitted in a bright yellow exterior, the Mopar Viper SRT also comes equipped with a carbon-fiver cross beam which makes it lighter by 50 percent than the factory version. To complete the package, there’s also the “Track Pack” wheels that are in hyperblack and LED driving lights.

Also getting some primetime at the show will be their Dodge Charger Juiced. Named after the orange color it is sporting, the Charger will come equipped with plenty of Mopar parts to ensure top quality. The engine is a Viper V-10 which allows for 650 horsepower and comes with a Mopar intake and exhaust.

Next on the roster is the Chrysler 300 Luxury. Mopar has covered the car with a True Blue Pearl Coat along with a platinum mesh grille. Driver comfort is ensured by having Katzkin leather on the seats and even the shift handle. There’s even a bright pedal kit along with Chrysler-logo door sills to really make the driver feel like they are in the lap of luxury.

Finishing off the list is the Jeep Wrangler Sand Trooper. Sadly, it’s not Star Wars themed, but that doesn’t stop it from seeming space-aged in its technology. With a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine, portal axles on the front and back that give the Wrangler an extra 5 inches of lift, and 42-inch Super Swamper Bogger tires, it could definitely compete in a pod-race.

The SEMA show is building up to be an impressive display of just what Mopar is capable of. Perfect victory dance for a company in the 75th year of their life.

Check out why Mopar has been around for so long by taking a look at their E-Store full of quality parts to customize your vehicle. Like Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter, for more information and specials on Mopar!

Mopar’s 75th Anniversary Starts With New Chrysler 300

Tomorrow marks the first day of Mopar’s 75th Anniversary celebration. There shouldn’t be any surprise that on the eve of the big day that Mopar would make a major announcement regarding a vehicle getting the royal treatment.

According to The Detroit News, Mopar chooses a model every year to make over. The first year was in 2010, where they choose the Dodge Challenger. The next year, they decided on the Dodge Charger. Now, in 2012, the special vehicle that’s getting the green-light for an upgrade is none other than the very popular Chrysler 300.

The design work that Mopar is doing is something that is different than usual. In the past, the cars they have worked on were given a large blue stripe for Mopar. That is not the route being taken with the 300, there’s definitely something more subtle at work. As the Detroit News describes it, it’s like, “to create a monster but to put it in a tuxedo.”

The exterior of the Mopar 300 will be all-black with the blue Mopar stripe very thin along both sides of the car. The grill is a unique black chrome and the headlamp bezels are accented in black. The wheels are 20-inch forged-aluminum that are painted gloss-black with Mopar center caps. The wheels themselves are high-performance Goodyear F1 tires and the brakes are the same that are used on Dodge Charger police cars.

For the car buyer who is looking for the best, Mopar is bringing out the big guns for their 75th anniversary. It really seems they want to remind the consumers just why their company has lasted for 75 years and why it’s going to continue to be one of the biggest names in the auto world for more years to come.
