1984 first car, 70 Duster 340, column shift 727, Yellow, Black vinyl top and interior, jacked up air shocks and all. Was an ex drag car we bought, fastest car I ever owned and my first at 16. Threw 2 rods and destroyed the block while killing a 327 Vega. Paid $800 for it, replaced it with a 71 Duster 340 3 speed, brown w/ tan interior 3 mos after getting that one, also for $800 - ahhhh, the good ol days. Wish I had some pics of either but none to be had.

Mine was a '66 Dodge Coronet 318 and automatic back in 1978.  Miss those days sometimes.

This is best fuzzy picture that I have of it.

Cool!  There's a forest green 4 door '66 Coronet with a slant 6 scooting around here as a daily driver.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

My first car and first Mopar was a 74 Charger. One of the only picks I got of it left. Had it for about 2 1/2 years and then smashed it into a tree one night...  :walkaway:

 Sad , yeah my aspen R/t I sold in a pinch was gonna buy it back but found out it got wrapped into a tree and went to look at it. It was a total loss.

Great cars guys!!

You gotta buy em a big shiny rock every once and a while even when they tell you, " I don,t want one!!... I am not like that!!!... I don,t need it!!... I would rather something else!"

 Get em a big shiny rock on a pretty ring! Remind them how pretty they are and appreciated . Working on going the distance.

This is my very first Mopar and the one I caught the dreaded, incurable Mopar virus from .  I bought the car, a 1955 Plymouth Belvedere 2-dr Hardtop, 260 V/8, powerflite auto, in May of 56 and kept it until October of 69.  The 55 Chevy belonged to my Brother.  He envied my car because of its looks and performance.  Sorry I don't have better pictures.  These are copied from old slides.
