We all have owned a car or two which we really miss owning :sad5: .

Which one / ones do you miss ?

For me , it's my '73 Duster . VL29G3B375353 Ca license plate no. 726 HYH .

Why ?

- TB3 Blue
- Black interior
- Black "Gold Duster" stripes
- Factory AM-FM
- Working A/C and heater (!!)
- 318
- 727 ( factory upgrade per Build Sheet 'comments' )
- 8.25" w/ 2.93 & Sure Grip
- Power Disc Brakes
- Power Steering
- Max Duty cooling

I really liked its tilt-out quarter windows ; helpful on cold nights to aid in defogging the rear window ; and helpful on hot days to aid with ventilation of hot interior air and no concern of someone breaking-in !

Ownership of another '73 Duster is on my 'bucket list' . I would also consider a '74 - '76 model as well .

What was your fave "A" ?
 
69 Dart, I bought it as a turn key race car. It was called "DartTari" Clean sweet Dart. I've tried to locate it, it was in the Cleveland area of Ohio. Can't find it though.

Mind you, aside from the 69 Swinger 340 I had in high school in 1974 that rotted out I still have every "A" body I've owned since then except for the 69 I listed above.

my second 69' 340 swinger. had it for 12 years. TT1 med metallic green, column shifted auto w/ trans-go manual shift kit. broken drivers window for 10 years. door locks weren't original so i never had the key. cop car wheels and hub caps. daily driven. my 17 year old daughter is still mad i got rid of it a few years ago
 
Without a doubt, my Mom's beige '66 Valiant 200. She drove it for 30 years, the only new car my Dad ever bought. Mopar's finest effort.
 
Hard choice. Owned 72 Dart Swinger 340 Petty Blue 3 Spd Std. on the floor no options. Just the scoop. 1967 383 Dart GT Auto. Still original 49,000 miles. Both kinda rare. But the GT is my first car and still have it so i'll go with it.
