I have none of my 1st car {let alone about the 1st 20+ & I'm no photographer} but I can find a look alike, 68 Charger R/T little jacked up in the rear a little with 15x10 Cragers S/S w-N50 Polyglass on the rear & a set of 15x6's up front dropped a little, with some cheap skinny tires... GG1 Racing Green Poly w-black stripe & Black vinyl roof, black bucket seat/console interior w-heads rests... Hell in my early years, 1975-78ish I had 4 or 5 at a time in the driveway usually, RR's, Satty's, Demons, Darts etc... I wish I had taken a bunch of photos back then, I just wasn't into that stuff, no-one in my family really was, don't really have many family photos even...

Ill bite!
Dont have photos of 1st and 2nd (Unitentional-Grandma's 1970 Baby Blue Dart Swinger / Intentional-1968 Dodge Charger bought from some Bikers for 800 bucks) but here are #'s 3, 4 and 5:
Also had a 1972 Sebring for a few minutes, and a 1969 Charger. All before I was 25.
Just started getting back in the game with a 318 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II and have since traded up to this:

The Roadrunner was actually my old man's. It's one of three (all 70's that we've had in the family). We also like our Cherokees. My little brother is driving my mom's old 2001 Grand Cherokee now. The black Cherokee and the Cordoba are both high school days. My sister ended up taking over the Cordoba. We usually got our Grandmother's hand-me-downs. The Cordoba and LeBaron are examples. Of all the rides, the Ramcharger might be my favorite. I want another one really bad. Now it's the '05 Ram that serves as the my Roadrunner's parts getter.

Dont mean to spoil the thread, but we all had to start somewhere. I think im quite a bit younger than some of you gentlemen, so youve had a bit of an advantage. I had Fords until this.

Great thread idea and some great cars!
The green Barracuda was my first car in 1972 at age 16. It was a ' 65 273/4 speed car. My brother owned a '70 Hemicuda at the time. The maroon car was a tribute I built in 1999 that got totaled in a pile up on the 210 freeway in Pasadena when a guy in a Mustang missed his turn off and swerved across all lanes of traffic. The blue one is my current drag car and sports a 410 stroker.

No pics but my first was a 69 roadrunner 383 for 50 bucks from my brother in law back in 1981?. It ran but was in sad shape. Then on to a 67 gtx 440 4sp. $175 burried in snow in Iowa with a blown motor. Then after that a 70 roadrunner 383 traded for a 800 dollar stereo. I also owned a 67 barracuda 273 coupe. And two 64 polara cars ,a 65 coronet 383 4 sp. A 70 duster, 65 plymouth belvedere conv 318. and last a 68 dodge dart gts 340 car.All cars were needing overhauls. the only one i still have is a 64 polara 500 with a 440 bought in 1985 for 1000. Recent paint job and 440 v-8.

My first car and first Mopar, 72 Challenger with 340, bought at age 17:
Swapped a 426 Wedge in and ran 12s with a Torker, 750 vac sec Holley, and Hooker headers:
This was in the early to mid 1980s when I was in my late teen, early twenties.
