I was born too late (1977) for the heyday of muscle cars, so I didn't get to do a lot of buying and selling Mopars. The coolest and nicest one I have ever owned, is my '70 Swinger, factory 340 4 speed car. It was my first car, and I have managed to keep it since I bought it in 1995, when I was 17. Most of the rest of the Mopars I've owned were beaters, or parts cars. However, there is one I miss, and wish I had back. In May of 1998, when I was 20, I bought a brand new Dodge Neon R/T, 2 door, 2.0 5 speed, R4 red with silver stripes. I owned it until 2004, and put on about 60,000 miles, just about every single one was absolute fun. Against other small, naturally aspirated four cylinder cars, it could definitely show most of them it's taillights, and it handled like it was nailed to the street. Wherever that car is now, the story's it could tell, wow....

Now, some of the cars and trucks my dad let get away, is quite an extraordinary list. A '62 Sport Fury factory 413 max wedge car, a '63 Savoy factory 426 max wedge car, my mom's '71 Charger R/T 440, a '63 Polara 500 with a 13.5:1 426 Ramcharger, a '41 Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton 4x4 Army truck, a '64 GMC 1 1/2 ton Napco 4x4 panel truck, along with a whole pile of other cool cars and trucks.
 
Here's a few of many I had from back in the day, admittedly before I saw the light "MOPAR" that is... 1974 SD 455 T/A, 1970 Z28, 1972 RS

From 1974 - 1982 I had all of these at the same time that I wished I had kept:
1964 Dodge Polara 500 red with black interior, 361/4speed. I later got a 426 Max Wedge with complete exhaust system. This was my first car and first love. I had a lot of fun in this car.
1967 Camaro SS 350 auto, console shift, nose stripe, hide away headlights, p/s, p/b, a/c. Blue with a black vinyl top. Picked it up for $500 from a co-worker who was fed up with it. It never gave me any problems.
1967 El Camino, fresh rebuilt 283-4 bbl, p/s, p/b, a/c, Auto column shift, blue. Picked it up from my sister's friend for $250. This was my parts runner.
1966 Charger 361/727 power everything. Gold straight body in excellent condition. Bought it for $500 for my sister to use.

I was in college and got married. The cars had to go when the baby came because I hadn't graduated yet.
