What One Car (doesn't have to be a Mopar) Turned You Into A Gearhead?
You mean, aside from The General Lee?
In the early '80's, when I was a kid, my mom would drive use down I-70 from Missouri back home to Colorado. In Hayes KS (I think it was, anyway. It may have been Salina) there was a musclecar museum (It may have been a dealer of some type) visible on the North side of the interstate and in the front window of that museum was a wing car, and I'm pretty sure it was a Superbird. I wanted to stop and see that museum but mom would never go for it.
Also, growing up and seeing the RoadRunner on the 'Birds and 'Runners and the Duster Twister and the Demon and thinking how cool it was that there were cartoons on cars. I always thought that the Duster Twister was supposed to be the Tasmanian Devil...
Riding in my Uncles 1969 Olds 442 455 4 speed car when I was a kid.
Thanks to "Jerry was a race car driver" and "Demolition Man", this is one of about 3 non-Mopars I have wanted in my time.
