Your first mopar...?

My first Mopar?? We need to go back to about '83 and I wanted a "classic" "muscle car"/ I had already (stumbuled on to) picked up a rust free 68 442 in Ks from a college kid that brought it with him from Ca. BUT it just did not do it. Why? Don't know. $1000. The wife was PISSED!!!!!!!! Then a little later, I was at KC Mo and dumbed up on a Mopar show put on by local club! I was hooked!!!!!!!! Back then, old cars were advertised in the KC Star (actually newspaper) and I lived an hour out in the sticks. Then right her was an ad for a 71 Charger Rt. ON MY WAY!!! $1500. I go and look, Gold, Rallyes, console auto, the 440had been pulled and sold and replaced with a good running 400 It needed NOTHING and drove great!!!!!! Did I mention $1500. But that $1500 back then is like what $6000 today. A bargain today!!!
Then I mess up and let Mopar guys tellm e a I needed 70 E body!!!!!!!!!! :poke: :thumbsup: :rofl: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:
