What car got you into Mopars?

I had a beater 69 Opel Kadet in 1975 and my parents were worried that it was unreliable and always broken down. I came home from school one day and there was a low mileage /6 Gold Duster w a/c sitting in the driveway. They handed me the keys ....and the payment book. I souped the slant with a mellings cam, 340 valve springs, clifford headers and intake, 390 cfm holley and a 3.91 8 3/4 sure grip. It was a blast to drive. I twisted it too tight too many times and spun a bearing. I found a tired 70 340, rebuilt it and stuffed it in. Six months later I landed a part time job as a flunkie in a local speed shop. The guy who owned it had raced for Chrysler for years and retired and opened this speed shop. When I first went to work there the car ran 13.70's. By the time I left for college 2 years later, I was at 12.20.
