The Northern Mopars Auto Club is based out of Calgary, Alberta Canada and they’ve hosted an annual show for decades.
This year was another great mix of classic muscle, vintage and even a rare international Mopar car star.

Mopar guys are knowledgeable and fiercely loyal to the brand, so these shows also provide an education in Mopar history for the public. You learn fast how much Chrysler history there is at these events, so the game plan is simple—talk to the owner and learn more.
The first car I spotted was a one-owner 1975 Road Runner and it did give me a history lesson on these rare Mopars—right down to the trunk decals.
This was a daily driver that eventually was retired from active duty. It paid the price every car pays on winter streets, so it needed major body work—now it’s back to factory mint. You’ll see the story in early 2026.
I found a 1969 Barracuda at the Northern Mopar show with another great biography.
This was a two-owner car, and it had a great history to it, so that alone qualified it for MyStar owner’s story status. You’ll be able to read it early next year.
The last car I spotted was a 1973 Chrysler Valiant Charger.
Not many people knew what this car was at the show, because it’s the only one in North America. You’re in luck—this is going to be a future MyStar owner’s story, so you’ll learn all about this incredibly rare example of Mopar muscle.
Jim found a rare Canadian truck—a 1970 Fargo Dude.
They didn’t build many of these in 1970 and MyStar will feature this truck in early 2026. You’ll learn how rare it is when you see the story behind this unique Canuck truck.
Jim also spotted another rare pickup in the form of a 1961 Dodge D-100.
This one had a surprise under the hood based on a very familiar engine. It’s a cool version of a factory powerplant—you’ll learn all about it early in 2026 when it becomes a MyStar owner’s story.
Jim took a story about a 1971 Cuda convertible that won five awards at its first show.
That should tell you something about the level of build on this classic Mopar. It too, has a big surprise under the hood that you’re going to want to see. You’ll get the chance in a few months when it becomes a feature owner’s story on MyStarCollectorCar.
Jim’s last story was a 1972 Challenger that had a seriously great story behind it.
It was a basket case project, and it has a deep family connection. Those are things that make a good story great–fortunately you’ll see it soon on the pages of MyStar.
The Northern Mopars Auto Club picks a great venue for the event. It’s a community hall with lots of grass so that makes it the perfect location to host a car show and get pictures.
This year’s event met all the standards for a solid show.
