Mopar[1] is the parts, service and customer care organization within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The name is a portmanteau of the words “MOtor” and “PARts”.[1][2]
Mopar also designs and builds a small number of customized vehicles.[3]
The term was first used by Chrysler in the 1920s and was introduced as a brand starting in 1937. The name Mopar was created by a committee to use on cans of “Chrysler Motor Parts” antifreeze.[1]
Mopar parts are original equipment manufactured parts for FCA US LLC vehicles. The term “Mopar” has passed into broader usage among car enthusiasts as an unambiguous reference to vehicles produced by former parent company Chrysler Group LLC, now FCA US.[4][5]
The term has thus become an inclusive word for any Chrysler-built vehicle—most any Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Imperial, DeSoto or Dodge Trucks/Ram By extension, it is also used for Jeep and AMC vehicles built after Chrysler’s 1987 buyout of American Motors Corporation including the short-lived Eagle brand.[6][7] The merger of these brands continues with custom-built cars such as the 2017 Mopar 1,036 hp (773 kW; 1,050 PS) Hemi Hellcat powered 1972 AMC Javelin AMX.[8] Since 2011, Mopar includes Fiat and Alfa Romeo following the Chrysler-Fiat merger.
In Canada, Chrysler parts were sold under the Chryco and AutoPar brands until the Mopar brand was phased into that nation’s market, starting in the late 1970s.
