When I was 5 my parents got divorced and my Mom's new husband had a 71 Challenger 318 , 3 speed manual, yellow. He bought it new along with a Chrysler bow rider boat. I remember many drive inns, camping trips, and road trips in the back seat of that car! Good memories! I really loved that car. As the years went by he traded it in on a Cherokee.
I remember sitting around with the boys in high-school dreaming about our favourite cars , when asked if you could have any car I said a 1970 Dodge Challenger. They all laughed at me. They all said Porsche, Ferrari etc.. I got the last laugh though I got my dream car! When I was 19 I bought my first car a 73 Challenger. My Dad said he hated that car (for obvious reasons) and why would I buy that piece of sh*t! But he always seemed to "need to borrow" it and I could hear the tires spinning as he drove away in it.
Fast forward to 3 years ago my Mom died and left me a bit of money. After paying off the house, buying the wife/family a Suburban and a new travel trailer I used the rest to buy my current 1970 Challenger! :woo:Sort of Mom's last gift to me. And it was a dream come true! I like to think it made my Mom smile....Thanks Mom love ya!
