when did you 1st ?

I bought a 65 Dart in 1967. It was a 2 door slant with a auto. I bought it for $400. it had 81,000 miles on it. It belonged to a salesman who traveled around the south. It was the first car I owned that had A/C.

At the time I had a 57 Ford Fairlane that was my daily driver. It was also a six cylinder, but with a 3 speed. My girl friend at the time asked me to teach her to drive. I tried to do that in the Ford, but the fact was the clutch confused her, and first gear wasn't her best friend.

I took her out it the Dart, and she did well. She took her driving test in it, and somehow it became her car. We used it as our "good car" because it was newer, and it had A/C. Except for the luxo-barges, not to many cars around had A/C, so we thought we'd arrived! lol

In 1968 I bought my first new car. It was a 68 Hemi Roadrunner 833/Dana. I ordered the car, because I couldn't find the one I wanted on a lot, anywhere in Jersey. It was a yellow hardtop with black interior. AM/FM radio, power steering and power disc brakes, and that's about it.

The Dart and the Hemi engine brought me to Mopar. The funny part is for "A" bodies, I prefer the Dodge version over the Plymouth version, and for "B" Bodies I prefer the Plymouth versions, and in C bodies, I prefer station wagons. :scratch:
