What got you hooked on A-Bodies anyway?

My Dad and older brother always had Mopars when I was growing up. I went with my brother in 1970 when I was 10 to pick up his new 440 Challenger, which I loved riding in, especially when he wound it up going out of town! But when the time came for me to buy a car I didn't care what make it was, I just wanted something with a V8 and a stick. I could have easily found a Chevy or Ford but I found a 71 Duster, 318/3 spd on the floor, as my first car and never looked back!
