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

It was probably the late 70's, and I remember riding in the 64 Fury 383 hp my Dad just bought. He was commenting on the high compression 383, I remember the whine of the pushbutton torqueflite, and how it went when he opened it up. My brother still has the car. Of course, then followed by the yellow deuce coupe in American Graffiti, the calafornia kid 33 or 34 ford, the zztop eliminator, the hours my brothers and I spent playing in the derelict 40 ford pickup in the back yard, and helping Dad restore a 30 ford coupe in the 70's. Other memories - Dads 67 Dart GT 273 4 speed and his lime green 73 Charger. Here are before and afters of the 40 ford over the last ten years, Dad finally got around to it....
