Your first mopar...?

My first car was my 69 Charger. It had been a little old ladies car (!) and she gave it to her nephew who didn't want it and sold it to me. I got it in high school in 1978. 32k miles at the time. But it had been a grocery-getter and still proudly wears all of its door dings from those parking lot battles. I still have it - 49k miles now. Used to race it and got it to run mid-12's with a mild 440. All 4200+ pounds of it!

Parked it a week before our first child was born in 1993. Literally came home from winning the "Heavy" bracket at Detroit Dragway and parked it. And it hasn't been started since!! But it's time is coming soon and will live its days as a cruiser.

Here it is getting drug out of our garage in Michigan after all those years to move to Florida (we moved last fall). (Can anyone say "barn find!")

Here it is in its new home - well, at least before all the clutter and "good" stuff got moved into the new shop!
