I was 7 years old when I went for a ride in my uncles 1969 Dodge Charger RT. Big Block 4 speed car and I have been Hooked ever since! I have been attending the Mopar Nationals at Columbus then Indy and back to Columbus since the 80's. I just posted my 1969 Dodge Charger in the photo Garage. I also have a 1974 Dart Sport that my Grandmother Bought Brand new. Granny had the slant six, but I put in a 340 in it and now my son is putting a 408 stroker in it
 
I know the feeling. My dad bought a brand new 67 Charger with a 383 and his brother then bought a 1968 Charger with a 318 I believe. Hooked! Both were sold before I was old enough to drive. Not sure exactly what happened to uncle's 68 but I know around 72, dad traded the Charger in for a Dodge station wagon with a 318. Don't recall the model, but I remember my brother and I used to sit in the back seat that faced backwards. When the brother could drive, dad bought him a rusted out 74 Charger SE with a 400. We beat that thing until it died. Shortly after, bought me a 1972 Charger I still have. Since 72 has bad engine now, I bought me a 74 Charger SE I drive all summer.
 
Welcome from Alabama, great story.
 
Welcome from NY.
Looking for pictures of Granny doing burnouts with the slant six...
 
Great way to enter the Mopar world! Any chance the family has a photo of your uncle's Charger you could post up here?
Also, welcome aboard.

When I was 7 years old, God didn't finish creating all the planets yet.
