Mopar Muscle – October 2019

fellow Graveyard

Ghouls, and
welcome to my

little corner of
Mopar Muscle.

happens here. One has to look close in a small town.

The beauty is in the details.” This quote may not have
any significance to a lot of you, but for those of you who

it does, welcome to Springfield—the confirmed home
of The Simpsons.

OK, with that sentimental preamble out of the way,
what do you say we get started?

At SEMA 2018, Mopar unveiled its latest “monster,”
the Hellephant, to an adoring crowd of fans. Not only
