What One Car (doesn't have to be a Mopar) Turned You Into A Gearhead?

When i was 7 (1966) the man across the street from us built a 66' Chevelle for a local short track. Hauled it on a open trailer with a 62'/63' Impala wagon. Didn't take but a few outings and it was pretty beat...lol. Never did see him race, but just watching and listening to him load/unload that thing with open exhaust had me hooked on the cammed V8 sound. The first new car i really liked was the new 69' Mach I that was on several mag covers. When another neighbor bought a new 69' Red 440 R/T Charger i was hooked on Mopars. I was so obsessed with it that every place i saw the number 440 or the word Charger in print i would cut it out a paste it on my bedroom wall. Pretty quickly i had half a wall full until Dad had enough of that and made me tear it all down.....lol. My service manager Grandfather saw it and bought a Visable V8 that we put together on weekends for a few months so he could teach me the basics. As far as i remember that's where it started for me.
