Mopar® Passion Transcends Borders Contact: Patricia Georgevich Mopar® Passion Transcends Borders Peru’s Mopar Ambassador, Domingo Cicirello Belgium’s Mopar Ambasador, Pascal Driesen October 30, 2006, Las Vegas - Mopar® owns a unique place in the automotive world that’s both cutting edge and rich in tradition. The spirit of Mopar – power, passion, and performance – is a testimony to a proud American heritage as well as to all the engineers, racers and enthusiasts who have made the blue Omega M more than just a logo. “There are thousands of die-hard Mopar® enthusiasts around the world who are true “Moparites” in their respective countries. For many, Mopar is a culture, attitude and lifestyle,” said Chris Cortez, Senior Vice President – Global Service & Parts, Chrysler Group. These enthusiasts create communities with other fellow enthusiasts and crawl all over the Internet, devoted to developing relationships to share and discuss their love of the brand as well as provide resources for restorative parts to accessorize, modify, personalize and customize their vintage muscle vehicles. These self-proclaimed “Mopar nuts” create their own unique styles to show the world what the spirit of Mopar means to them. Mopar has even passed into broader usage among these enthusiasts as an inclusive word for all Chrysler Group vehicles – Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge. Chrysler Group and Mopar are bringing two of them to the 2006 SEMA Show. Domingo Cicirello Domingo Cicirello developed his love for vintage cars at an early age. Each New Year’s Day as a child growing up in Peru, his father would give him a vintage car calendar. He fell more in love with these vintage vehicles turning the pages to each new month. Soon his passion turned to muscle cars. When the time came for him to purchase his first car as a high school student, he knew it had to be muscle. A 1967 Mustang was advertised in the local classifieds. But when he arrived with his friend, a Jane 318 1971 Dodge Challenger – gold with a black vinyl top and flat hood – was parked beside it. It was love at first sight. But the elderly woman who was the owner didn’t want to sell. He walked away without buying the Challenger – but it had definitely made an impression on him. Later, he picked up a copy of Vanishing Point at his local movie rental store. On the cover, there was a picture of a white Challenger with Rallye hood. He instantly recognized the car he had seen a few months before. After watching the movie, he was hooked on Mopar for life. He called the woman who owned the Challenger to see if she would sell him the car. She had given it to her nephew, and now, he wouldn’t sell. One day, during one of his car-hunting excursions, he spotted a car from a distance that looked like a Challenger. It even had RT stripes on its side. He thought he had found an RT Challenger (by then he already knew what an RT was after doing Internet research). But when he got closer, it wasn’t a Challenger. It read Barracuda on the tail panel — someone had painted RT stripes on a ‘71 Barracuda! This ‘cuda became his first car ... and first Mopar. They were inseparable for years. He visited the Dallas Mopar online discussion forum as well as moparts.com to learn his way around Mopar vehicles — and satisfy a passion for speed on his Barracuda. He wanted a pistol grip shifter. His new online Mopar friends helped him find the parts he needed. And what parts he couldn’t find on the Internet, he manufactured his own. Soon he became a resource for other Mopar fanatics in search of hard-to-find parts. So, whatever became of his lost love – the Challenger? They were united, and he painstakingly turned it into a 1970 Vanishing Point Challenger replica. His latest finds have been a 1963 Plymouth Fury, a 1967 Barracuda (which he’s currently turning into an all-out race car) and a 4-speed 1972 Challenger 340. He continues to bring back these bygone vehicles to their glorious former conditions as well as organize races and shows to display them. And in the process, he’s transforming more Peruvians into Mopar maniacs and ambassadors. He has also co-founded a Mopar Web site to help enthusiasts obtain parts. Pascal Driesen Pascal Driesen’s love affair with Mopar began eight years ago. He was searching long and hard for a '69 Dodge Charger in his native Belgium, but to no avail. Then, he decided to travel to the U.S. to find a Mopar vehicle. He found a '68 Sport Satellite, a '68 Dodge Charger, and a '68 Roadrunner. Since Mopar parts were difficult to find back home, he also decided to purchase as many parts as he could – for himself and other Mopar fans. Today, his Six-Pack Speed Shop is one of the biggest Mopar shops in Belgium — it’s open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. He also has a Mopar shop in Sweden with plans for shops in England and Germany. With customers in Poland, Italy, France, England, Germany, Estland, Denmark, Finland, and The Netherlands, he wants to help other Mopar enthusiasts find the parts they need to restore and restify their vintage muscle cars. He organizes Mopar club meetings and is planning a huge event next year in Belgium — a Mopar European National Meeting. Every third Sunday from April through October, he’s holds a Crazy Sunday at his shop in Belgium for Mopar enthusiasts. At the final one in 2006, 150 Mopar enthusiasts brought their cars to display. He’s also helping the Mopar club in The Netherlands organize its meetings. He blogs or joins forums to spread the word of Mopar. He gets his Mopar parts from a U.S. dealer — the best-selling products are the cast air cleaners and valve covers, the HD springs and the electric conversion kits. Driesen is considered an “opinion leader” among his Mopar peers. For him, Mopar means the ultimate muscle cars ever made — body styles and engine combinations that are superior to all. About DaimlerChrysler’s Mopar® Brand When Chrysler bought Dodge in 1928, the need for a dedicated parts supplier led to the formation of the Chrysler Motor Parts Division. In 1937, Mopar® (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) was created for the business of distributing parts through a depot system and car divisional wholesalers. Mopar made its mark in the 1960s – the muscle car era. Beginning in 1962, Mopar carried a line of “Special Parts” for super stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use. Today, Chrysler Group’s Global Service & Parts division is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of nearly 250,000 authentic Mopar replacement parts, components and accessories for Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles sold around the world. To assure quality, reliability and durability, all Mopar parts and accessories are designed in strict adherence to DaimlerChrysler engineering standards. -###- Additional information and news from Stellantis are available at: https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com .

At this meeting we may have a distinguished member from overseas . To date there have been no vo i ces r aised concerning the f requency of appearance of a r elatively few names in the Newslett er.
