This one isn't mine, but I don't have pictures of mine handy. Only difference though was color. Mine was white with red interior. I know it's lame but it was the first car I bought new and I was more interested in good gas mileage and reliability. I ran this thing (with a 2.2 engine) at least twice completely out of oil and even so it had over 180k when I gave it away. I couldn't kill it. LOL

my '71 Plymouth Cricket; got it when I was 5. still have it. these pics are from a couple of years ago. This was built in England by Rootes/Chrysler as opposed to the simular Dodge Colt which was built by Mitsubishi.
One Day I will put a turbo 2.2 or dakota 3.9 in it.

My first was a '69 Coronet 440, bought it in 1997 at the age of 14. Detailed cars all summer to buy it; paid $600 for it, was a running/driving car, only thing wrong with it was a blown heater core. I miss it a lot. This pic is from around '00-'01, maybe a year before I sold it to buy a Charger. Gotta dig the freebie Pro-Trac 325/50/15's I was running in the rear; those and the 265s up front made life real exciting in the rain.

I tore the house up looking for the photos of my first Mopar. I only found one of it in the back ground of a photo of my dads Cuda. My first car was a 1971 Super Bee. Bone stock 383 magnum w/air, it was one hell of a car for a 16 year old. I sold it to buy a 1971 Charger R/T 500 w/ a 440 whitch cant find the photos of eather. I did find all the photos of my Mopar stock cars. I will add the first stock car I built, a 1973 Plymouth Satilite w/a 340

Only about 2 months ago! Unless you count the Dodge Grand Caravan that shuttled me around for the first 16 years of my life :D
 
1948 Dodge Custom. And I still get all misty-eyed whenever I even THINK of a flathead. Bought her in 1973, and my parents were PISSED. In fact they have been dead nearly 10 years and I will bet they are STILL pissed. I paid $200 for her and had the time of my life.

I bought my first Mopar from a substitute teacher in high school. It was a 65 Dart GT, 273, 4 spd, white with blue interior. I gave her 75 bucks for it. Her husband was into the Chrysler 300 letter cars and wouldn't let her carry her golden retrievers in the "good" car, so he bought her the Dart to haul the dogs. It took me a week to pull all of the yellow hair out of the carpet on the back of the front seats. This was in 1972. A guy in a Dodge van crossed the center line and hit me head on and totaled it.

I know you said first, but I'm puttin my first 3 in because they were all high school cars. I replaced the Dart with a 67 Cuda that had a blown engine. So I replaced it with the 273 out of the Dart. While I was at it I replaced the auto with the 4 spd out of the Dart to. I really love that red Cuda but when I got the chance to buy my 69 340 Swinger I had to let the fish go. I paid $700 for the Fish and $300 for the 340 Dart, Joe.
