I first found the T/A in 1989 and it took till 1990 to finally buy it. I also bought the Road Runner in 91. I had it till 95 and sold it to my brother in law. He had it till 01 when I bought it back from him.

I owned a 64 Falcon for 29 years. My grandfater bought it new and when he died in 1973 I inherited it. That was the year I bought my first 67 GTX and use the Falcon for a winter car. The car was still mint when I sold it in 2002 to move down south. I just replaced the two front fenders and had it repainted in 1990. It had all the original interior with no rips and the 6 cylinder had 125,000 miles and never used a drop of oil. I kind of regret selling her but had no choice.
Currently I had my 67 GTX since 1992 and my R/T Conv. since 1998.

I had a '90 Acura Integra I owned for 13 years, engine and suspension mods.  That car could take a beating and come back for more.  :grinyes:  Would've had it longer.  :-\

Car was destroyed when an old lady rear ended me.  >:(   Hit me hard enough the rear wheels wouldn't spin.

 I have had the Challenger since 1976. My Mom had take out a loan for me, and register it in her name as I didn't have my license yet. I think we paid $1,750 for the car.

Well I've owed my Cuda from 1976 (or 1975?) to present.  Bought it for 900 bucks off a Chrysler engineer during the 1st "Energy Crisis".  He was located in Redford, MI.  It was pretty much perfect, except for a missing trim ring and couple small door dings.  He didn't want it anymore do to the gas mileage.

I've owned my 73 Charger SE since 1984. Never thought I'd own 1 car this long - glad I have, though!

My father officially gave me a '61 Studebaker when I was 13, so I've owned that for 9 years now (hopefully it'll be gone sometime next summer though to help pay for the other two addictions).  For MoPars, I've owned my Challenger for 5 years now and counting.
