Your first mopar...?
1962 Plymouth Fury III my dad says he brought me home from the hospital in it.
This is not my car, but it looked just like this, same color, 4-door, 318 poly, push button automatic.
My dad was a farmer, he never got rid of anything. He parked it with 185K on the odometer. It sat in a pasture until I was 15 and needed a car to drive.
Pulled it into the shop, got it running but the transmission was toast…… probably why it was parked.
Dad helped me pull the transmission, bought me a $35 rebuild kit and helped me rebuild it. We got it moving but had to drive it to the local Aamco to have them adjust the bands and get it shifting properly.
I drove it in high school, gave it to my brother to drive and dad finally sold all his old cars and trucks to a scrapper back around 2000.
