First Car Ideas
Welcome! Sounds like you are on the right track, it’s great to see a young gun involved with the older cars but it also helps Mopar blood runs in the family! I was the same way at your age, My dad has several My dad has several Mopar’s too. old MoPars too. My first car, a 1974 Plymouth satellite Sebring Plus, I put a 340 engine in it my senior year of high school, that was a 1994 and I still have the car today.
When I was your age the a-body cars were my favorite, I had darts, dusters and demon 340 pictures from magazines plastered all over my room, I always wanted a 340 engine. That’s why instead of putting a big block in my satellite, I installed the 340 and I don’t regret it for a second. Today we own a few a bodies, I have a pair of 66 valiants, One is a 340 4-speed, and one is stock....also a 1970 dart swinger 340 that I hope to fully restore someday. I used to have a 73 duster but it was really rusty, I used it as a winter beater until it got unsafe to drive, then I parted it out and used the disc brakes in my 66. A duster is a fun car for a young guy and they are very affordable too. Good luck young man, sounds like your dad has a pretty sweet fleet of Mopar‘s!!
