eBay My World: moyada( 64)

I'm a self employed auto trans repairer. I've been a Mopar nut since 1972. Currently rebuilding a 1964 Chrysler 300 Silver Special that I bought from a guy in Arizona '05, and shipped to New Zealand. 'Good car' NOT. Total rebuild necessary. Oh well.

Not much on ebay. Shipping too dear from NZ to USA. I do, however, sell stuff in NZ. I WILL ship if I have to. I do BUY stuff on ebay, but.

'35 Pontiac parts, '64 Chrysler parts.

Old cars! Currently own ... '64 Daimler, '64 Chrysler 300 coupe, '66 Jag 3.8 S type, '35 Pontiac 6, '83 Audi urquattro (factory coupe turbo big guard model), '84 Audi turbo diesel wagon, and some later cars. I've owned 155 cars, 48 of which were Chrysler products...eg '59 Dodge Coronet 2 dr post, 37 Dodge coupe utility, '65 Dodge 880, '57 Dodge wagon, '57 Dodge Kingsway Custom 301 poly. Etc etc.

English, Japanese, mopar spoken here

As above. (Working on my cars.) Gardening..not! Reading and walking, but not at the same time.

Anything on JFK, and LHO. Automotive. Non-fiction.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (of course, chock full of Mopars!) Documentaries. Pat Garret and Billy the Kid.

As an aside, I chose MOYADA for a moniker because it's Japanese for 'Omigod, what am I doing?' Alluding to the continued out-flow of hard earned dollars on a labour of love. And my cars!! wink.

In NZ, I started as an apprentice on VW's in 1968. Bought '57/8/9 Ply/Dodge/DeSotos, then '62 Dodge Dart in 1972, and that got me hooked on Mopars. my '66 Mustang was a pale imitation of a car in comparison dynamically. Gathered together tons and tons of Mopar parts from '57 thru to '68 cars, but had to dispose of them when I shifted. I'll never forgive myself for dumping bits that would today make me a rich man...Went to USA in '89, and bought back '62 Dodge Dart h/top. I've been in the business of auto trans repairs since 1975. Mainly Japanese cars, but have done a lot of Torqueflites and 350/400's. I was trained to do engine overhauls and general repairs, but prefer autos.

I pay, using Paypal or Direct Bank Payments, although I have sent bank drafts and cash o/seas. Brave I am.

Small items are shipped direct to my home, but larger ones are sent sea freight.

New Zealand is a great place to visit. I live in Christchurch, in the South Island. We have great ski fields nearby. Trout fishing. A healthy motor racing scene. A world class art gallery. ( Which I must visit one day....) An international airport. Incredible scenery. Uncluttered roads, although we do drive on the left, mainly! Cheers.

I currently need a 1935 Pontiac hood ornament. Paul. 10/16/06
