What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?

I had 2 choices for my first car,a 67 Valiant 4 dr Signet or a 67 Biscane 4 dr. I wanted to be different than the ford/chebby crowd here so I took the Valiant and it turned out to be an awsome choice since it never left me stranded in the 250,000 miles I put on it.
