I still am fortunate to own some cool A's, but I'll always miss the "White Knight". It was a 75 Valiant Brougham Sedan. It was a loaded 2 trim tag California car white with white vinyl and dark red bucket guts. I put scads of miles on it over 10 years before the rusties got it. To this day, I still have dreams about it. I've had a lot of cars since, but none hold a candle to that one.

I knew the separation anxiety would be too stressful for me to handle so I kept her for 31 years.

My 72 Demon. 225 with a three on the tree. Fun car. Would still have it but for the lady that did not stop for the red light.

my first- '72 340 Duster
not an original 340 car...(very) built 340, 727, 8 3/4 4.10 SG.
I still own it, it's been parked for 15 years or so (it had a front end problem-wouldn't hold an alignment). Then the motor started rattling (sounded like a bearing, but my brother pulled it apart a couple years ago and said it looked ok). Then the vinyl roof started to disintegrate, and I parked it.
When I bought my Scamp, I pulled the front end off for the Scamp, pulled the buckets and got them recovered for the Scamp (with the console), and put the go-wing on it too. I'm going to go look at it later to see what kind of shape it's in, and if I can put it back together (if the underside hasn't taken too much hurt from sitting in the weeds for all these years, it'll be easier/cheaper to put it back together than to build one of the units I've seen for sale in the area lately.

71 Duster. Had a Hamburger built t/r 440 in it, cage etc. Bought it, drove it for a few weeks and found out that the car could not be aligned and got my $$ back from the seller...car never made a pass down the 1/4 but it was the quickest feeling street car I was ever in ....

71 Duster, this was my baby, bought it in the early to mid 90's. Loved this car, drove it everywhere. Cleanest car I have ever came across.
71 Duster's, they are my favorite of all time! Need to get another one someday!

My '69 Swinger. 340 4-speed, dark green metallic, bench seat, black interior, black vinyl top, no tail stripe, steelies and dog dishes. Not a flash car by any means, but the only factory performance car I've ever owned. I absolutely loved looking out over that hood. I sold it to get my Scamp painted. I should have my head examined, but it was more of a project than I could handle at the time. It looks like the owner may be looking to sell in the not too distant future, but I doubt I'll be able to get it back.

Thanks Its by far my favorite of the several mopars I've had.
Back in 1971 my first car was a 65 Dart 270/post. It had a HP273 and a 3 on the tree. The car is long gone but it would be fun to have back. It was one of 8 I believe. toolman

my 1st car was a 67 barracuda coupe 273 2 bar, auto on column, but would rather have the 2nd "A" barracuda
it would be my 67 Barracuda Formula "S" coupe (factory 273 HIPO) 4 speed
but the one I really want was my brothers,
69 GTS 383, auto, 391 gear, white, white interior, red stripe. Dad would not let me buy it from him. He traded it for a olds convertble and some cash, the guy totaled it in within 6 months.
Love my Dart convertible and will miss it when it is gone, but will replace it with a 69 and make the car dad would not let me have.
The 69 in portland would be very interesting to me i it wasn't on the other side of the world .................. LOL

This should have been a poll, 69 340 Darts have to be 4 to 1 over any other.
I had a green one, but my 68 340 s, 4 speed, turbine bronze fastback barracuda, and my Panther pink 340 70 duster, would be the ones I would want back the most.

my dads 66 valiant we had a 440 in it. it ran low 11's. we had a nice little 63 valiant too had a 400 in it with dual fours nice little street car
My previous Duster is my favorite one I owned. I'm glad someone else is enjoying it now though. It was featured in Mopar Muscle last winter.
1973 Duster 340-4spd with factory sunroof & folddown rear seat options. Basin Street Blue B3exterior with white stripes. Originally all B5 interior but I changed it to a B5 & Super White two tone interior. One of very few ever made and it sure was purty.

I miss my 70 340 Duster the most I guess
Set up as a stock class car I drove it on the street & destroyed a lot of brand X owners ego with it
I started with the 5.0 boys first
it ran high 11's 1/4 mile through the stock manifolds

I had a 68 Formula S 340 notch for a while. All original with only 50,000 miles on it. Even had a small magazine article done on it in Muscle Car Review. It drove like a new car, and was a pleasure to cruise in, but I had the itch to go faster and didn't want to start messing it up, so I sold it. I've had a lot of fun with the fastback I replaced it with, so no regrets.

I miss lots but the one I miss the most is my 71 Demon 340. bought it in Grade 12 for $1500 and spent $2500 building a 11.5 to 1 340 that was very stought. It had orange interior as well. He is a pic of it when it was my daily driver, I ran the cragers in the winter as well.
