PHOTOS OF YOUR 1st MOPAR

I bought my first Mopar from a substitute teacher in high school. It was a 65 Dart GT, 273, 4 spd, white with blue interior. I gave her 75 bucks for it. Her husband was into the Chrysler 300 letter cars and wouldn't let her carry her golden retrievers in the "good" car, so he bought her the Dart to haul the dogs. It took me a week to pull all of the yellow hair out of the carpet on the back of the front seats. This was in 1972. A guy in a Dodge van crossed the center line and hit me head on and totaled it.

I know you said first, but I'm puttin my first 3 in because they were all high school cars. I replaced the Dart with a 67 Cuda that had a blown engine. So I replaced it with the 273 out of the Dart. While I was at it I replaced the auto with the 4 spd out of the Dart to. I really love that red Cuda but when I got the chance to buy my 69 340 Swinger I had to let the fish go. I paid $700 for the Fish and $300 for the 340 Dart, Joe.
