Your First Car

My first car was a '68 GTX, which I still own. It is pictured here with my sister and me in summer 1973, about two months after I bought it from the original owner. The car is now about 50% disassembled in the garage for rebuilding.

It is a 440. The first owner had the original rear Magnums and tires stolen at Shea Stadium and he replaced them with steel slots with Mickey Thompson G 60s.

I have always liked MoPars because almost nobody had one back then. My dad had a '48 Chrysler when he was in the Navy. My parents bought a '67 New Yorker new. I guess it kinda rubbed off on my brothers and me (440-6 Superbird; 440-6 '70 'Cuda).
