Not a Mopar but it was bought out by Mopar. 1st car at 16 in '82, a '68 AMC Javelin. Sold it the next yr. Always regret selling it.
 
my first car was not a mopar because I couldn't find what I wanted. I bought a 69 mustang mach 1 with 351 4sp, red with the flat black hood. Should have kept it.
Then I got a 68 roadrunner 383 auto should have kept that too.

Me also. I had a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 383 Magnum 4-speed in Orange with black hood and side decals and burnt orange interior. Looked just like one in the picture. Unfortunately all pictures of me and the car have been lost to time. I kick myself every day. I was the 2nd owner. Bought it from a local guy in 1976 for $800 who had special ordered it from our local Dodge dealer.

My first car was a 69 Charger I got in highschool in '77. I sold it for $350 in '79 and bought a $300 Vega to deliver pizzas in. I'm an idiot.
 
about 10 years ago 69 RT Charger track pack 440 4 spd dana. A monster but I couldnt afford the sheet metal and I didnt want to watch it rot away. Man I miss it

My first and only E-body I've ever owned, a '70 Barracuda. Had the almighty slant 6. Car was BEAT, but it ran and kinda drove, paid $400 in '84, I was 17. 1984 was 'before' Mopars became the hot commodity, and there was little to no aftermarket support when it came to sheet metal especially.

What the car needed would be an easy fix nowadays, but back then, it was too much for a broke 17 yr old with limited skills. After owning it less than a year, I sold it to someone for $500 who I thought had the ability to do the car right, and they promptly butchered it some more and totaled it after dropping in a 'hot' small block.

I was so PO'ed about it, I got rid of any pics or paperwork I had of the car. The only things I have as I reminder are the 'Barracuda' emblem off the tail panel and a stupid little baseball shift knob that was on the column shifter.

The rest of the junk I've owned over the years, simply couldn't overcome the pull of the wrecking yard.
 
65 Sport Fury, 72 & 73 Charger SE, 72 Polara Pursuit and Monaco Brougham, 80 Horizon and 81 Charger.
 
Around 72-ish or so, I had a '70 Cuda vert, 383 4sp as my daily driver. No photos sad to say; but we know what they look like. Traded it in for a '73 Challenger demo in '74 with 2k on it, 340/auto. Got 600...bucks for it on trade in, but that was then. Drove the Dodge for 5 years before selling it to my B-I-L. Yep...that Cuda and the 67 GTO vert (all optioned) I had before it, are two rides I'd like to have in my garage today...a story of regret many car guys around my age can share.

Sold a 62 Dodge Polara with pictured engine Hemi torqueflite and a Dana 60 for $950 in 1974. 10 years later bought engine, trans and rear for $2,000. Never say never at my age.
