What One Car (doesn't have to be a Mopar) Turned You Into A Gearhead?

Back in the early 70's I saw a Hot Rodding magazine with an artice about a company in wallingford ct Total preformance that was making T buckets. You could get your choice of engine/trans and color for what I believe was $6995. I wanted one in the worst way. Told myself someday I'd have one. Never did. But my second car was a 71 camaro. Also I had some t bucket models I built like this Red Baron.
