    « on: March 02, 2008 - 10:54:10 PM »
    ...I purchased this Plum Crazy T/A from a guy in Medina Ohio, June of 1988.....kept it for a decade or so and gave it to my son....he kept it a couple of years and sold it....it was sold a few more times and I repurchased it about 5 years ago...all together it has resided under my roof for 16-17 years....it has never been restored, but was repainted in 1983....currently has 50K miles...it is all correct and matching numbers...it will never be sold again

    The 72 Challenger in my avatar. Bought it in 1997 (I was 14) from my neighbor for $100.

    I bought my first new vehicle about 4 years ago, new crew cab truck, kept it for 3 years and traded it in on the one I have now, that was my longest. There's a good chance my recent purchase will be my new longest keeper though.   :jumping:

    My Challenger.  Bought it in 1994 and parked it in 1996.  I've been "restoring" it ever since.   :roflsmiley:

    I bought my 71 Challenger RT 19 years ago last month and hope I never have to sell it. It is like part of the family now and is the longest I have ever owned any car.

    I've had my T/A since December 1978.
    I had a Bronco from 1981 until 1997.  I have had my convertible and my '95 Ram both since 1997.  I keep my cars awhile!
