I thought that my wife had lost these, but it looks like she did not. These are the pics of my first car, which was a Dodge Demon. Also, she found another one of my second car which is the Duster. I hope you don't mind my sharing. If you look carefully you can see my Challenger in the background of the Duster picture.

Cool, I wish I had pics of all the cars I had over the years. I only have three pictures of my first car which was a 72 dart. These were taken around 1990-91. Car was mint.Paid $250 for it!

Man we love pictures! Old ones are the best :) What year were they taken? Looks like some nice old school rides there. A Demon with wheel covers.... I love it!

I bought the Demon in 1982, with a slant 6 and "three on the tree". It also came with aftermarket A/C, purple window tint, plus blue shag carpet on the rear package tray. The Duster was bought in the summer of 1982 as a roller. It was an original 340 car, but I ended up putting in a 318 with a 727 trans that had a manual shift body in it. A lot of fun memories in both those cars.

I'd love to have that 4 door dart now. Got a 340 looking for a new home :)
 
Oh I so love the Old pictures... When cars had shape & you could spot them a quarter mile away... And I.D. them !!! Unlike today's rolling "Jelly Beans"..
Wish I had taken more of mine... But I was not a camera bug in the early years. :(
My 64 Dart 170 was my 1st New Car... Taken in 1964... Then my New 67 GTX taken in 68... trading it in for the New 69 Dart 340 Swinger... Taken in 1969 (That I badged as a 273) Hell I was a "kid" back then...
Sigh~

73 Dart Sport, with a 426 Street Hemi. - Built By Mr. Norm's, in conjunction with The Ramchargers. -- Like many others, I didn't know enough to keep it. - It is still alive, today.

RPMagoo that first photo is so cool. It looks like the Dart is calling the clouds. Hope you don't mind if I keep it.

Love the old pics! Here's my 71 Duster I bought in 1976 at 16. 318 with 3 spd manual on the floor. Swapped in a 340/4 spd by the time this picture was taken in 78. Added the stripe and wheels. Man I learned a lot on that car. The car grew up with me, so many changes and good times. Had it for 20 years.

A few of my A Bodies from the 70's I had a little 69 Dart Addiction. !!!
