Your First Car
My first car was a '68 VW. That happened because when I was too young to drive, my friends and I took the bodies off of old VW's and ran them through the woods. It was a blast! It led to buying one for the street. I was a muscle car guy at heart, though.
My Mopar affection came from (at the risk of name dropping, but it's what happened), my neighbor, the owner of SS&DI magazine's "Project Six Pack". I was a teenage kid who liked to hang around the "cool race car".
It didn't take long to end up with my '70 Challenger R/T, 383, 4 spd. 3.91 rear. No frills. Yeah, I wish I still had that one! (I bought it from that same neighbor.)
