When did you buy your 1st E-body?

[cudaguy71]

My first was in Germany;  Brand new 1972 340 4-speed 'cuda.  I did not have the funds to ship it back...
Second was in 1978;  it is a 1973 'cuda which I am presently restoring.

I bought my 71 Challenger convertible in 1979 and my Challenger 6 pack in 1981. These are my first two Ebodys.  I still have them.

I bought my 70 Challenger in October of 2000.  It still needs work.

I dont think many of us will ever be finished....

Dad co-signed for my first Challenger January 7 of 1977. The stripes, wheels, and motors changed and the vinyl top disappeared over the years but I always kept the original paint/interior color

[Super Blue 72]

I bought my car in Nov. 2003, paid $4,000 for it.  It cost me $160 more than the original owner paid!

[71ChallengerSE]

I got mine July 2007 for $3,850 and I drove all the way to South Carolina to get it.

1978, in March or April I think, I bought my 73.

[Cuda72]

My first Cuda was a '73 and I purchased it in 1976 for $2600 with 26K miles. I traded it in for a '78 Dodge (Mitsubishi) Challenger when I got married in '78, and got $1500 trade in allowance (big mistake!). In '89 I managed to come a cross a decent '72 Cuda and I've had it since...

[cudadave72]

Bought mine a little over a year ago, however the Cuda that got me lusting for one was my uncle's bought brand new in 1972!!!

[ham1]

Bought mine new in 1973. Challenger Ralley 340 4 speed, red in color.  I still have it.   40K original miles.  Paid $3700 out the door.

[TommySS]

Only had the one, 70 R/T "N" car.  Bought in 78, 60k miles, $1500.  Painted it, and took it to the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals, and took 2nd place in the gymkhana (sp) competition. 

It was my college graduation present to myself, and I had even advertised in Hot Rod Magazine (May 78, I think), looking for a Vanishing Point car.  Lot of candidate cars, none were exactly what I wanted.  An elderly gentlemen offered a 70 R/T, wrong color, wrong interior, wrong trans, wrong wheels, and the engine had just been rebuilt.  He wanted $4000 for it, which was way over my budget.  It was a genuine, no-kidding, numbers matching Hemi car (D'oh !)

Anyway, I settled for considerably less.  Built in Sep69, column shift auto, ps, am radio, and that's it. Very light green exterior, green vinyl buckets.  I sold it in 1982, and regretted it ever since.  The car is "somehwhere" in Nebraska (Hastings area), titled, but not tagged.

Apologies for the ramblings of an old enthusiast.

...and that is precisely why I've kept mine all these years!

[hooD]

I ordered and bought my 1st E-body in September of 1972.  It is my '73 Cuda which I still own with 35,000 miles.   

[71340RT]

I bought my first a 71 Challenger RT in 1984 for $2,000.00. My next E-body was bought in 1986 and was a 70 440-6 barrel 4-speed Cuda and I paid $3,000.00 for it. My current 71 Challenger RT was bought in 1989 for $3,750.00 and my current 70 Cuda was bought in 2000 for $2,000.00 which it came home in boxes.
