The car that started it all?
ALL OF THEM!
Old cars are in my blood!
There isn't just one that sparked my interest because I grew up around them, my first car was a 27 T 2 door sedan body and frame that my dad gave me when I was about 4 or 5. He rewired some guys car and the guy tried to pay him with a bottle of Jack, my dad says "I don't drink but I will take that!" I played in that car until I was about 12 when I traded it for a 73 El Camino, parted that out and bought a 56 F-100 and a 79 Buick Estate wagon (for the guts), did my first sub-frame job at 13 sold that and never quit!
If I had to pick one car that really sparked my interest I guess it was my dads 53 F-100 that I now own and am trying to sell/trade...
He built it back in the 70's when he owned a few Chevron stations in and around Seattle and used it for his work truck. He traded it to his best friend for a custom VW bug (yeah I know) in the early 80's and I bought it back about 5 years ago.
The one that sparked my interest in Mopars would have to be the 70 challenger R/T from the movie Natural Born Killers but my first mopar was a 77 Lil Red Express clone with a balls out 383/A833/and sure grip 3.91.
I would sell everything I own including my dog for a Tucker...and then I would customize the hell out of it!:snakeman:
