Let's see your first A-body!
My first was a 1969 Dart I bought off of an old lady in Inglewood, CA. Saw the ad posted in the Recycler, called her up and went out to see it. Instantly fell in love, offered her $800 and the deal was made. Original slant 6 car. Drove it around the block, motor seized, and that same night the motor and transmission were pulled.
Threw in a 360/727 combo I bought "slightly used" out of a 77 Dodge Van. Added a few bolt ons and a set of 14" Rallyes. Drove it through my early college years and ended up selling it for a ridiculous profit which all went towards tuition money.
Regret it? Yes. But in a way, that car is the reason why I am where I am in life today. If I ever find it, I'll buy it no matter what price, no questions asked.
Enough with the man tears... A few pictures:
