[70Beee]

I grew up in a Mopar family, grandfather and father drove Dodge or Plymouth. Older brother brought his first car home in late '71. A '70 Dart Swinger 340 with 9,000 miles. Still looked new. My first car was a '72 Duster 318 3-speed, 60,000 miles, black w/black bucket interior. Traded it and $500 on 2/28/75 for a # matching '72 Duster 340 4-speed Mohave Tan Poly w/ black bucket interior w/16,000 miles. Still have it with a whopping 23,000 miles. Hope to get it on the road this summer with the 414 motor I have sitting waiting for me to get going on it.

'70 gtx

My first mopar was my first car, too. It was a '70 GTX that I bought in HS. While it was a U code car, it had a 440 6bbl in it from a '69 Roadrunner. Also a factory 4-speed, Air Grabber, Trak Pak car. Originally Deep Burnt Orange, it had been painted black - although the interior and engine compartment were still the original color. I sold it in '84. I actually tracked the car down a few years ago, and it was just a couple of hours away from me after spending time in Michigan. It has since been resold - wherabouts unknown to me at the moment. I had the original broadcast sheet, and I don't remember if it went with the car. I had that and the complete Galen Govier decoding of it (he was doing that for free for fellow MMCI members back then). If I come across that stuff some time, I'll try to get it to the current owner. I can track it down again if it's registered. Forgive the photo quality.

[MoparEd]

My first, was a 70 Dart Swinger. My older brother got me into them. He came on leave from Fort Riley in a 65 Plymouth Belveder. I think it was around 78-79. Ever since Its MOPARS.

 

[72 Runner]

'69 Road Runner 383 automatic. Still love the first generation Road Runners.

 

[TNMOPARMAN]

My dad had a couple chargers a 66 and then a 73 rallye, but got rid of the 73 for his and my moms first family car, the picture i saw of his 73 hooked me on third gen chargers so worked saved and finally got mine, shes not perfect but its my first mopar and a dream car in the making.

In 1968 I bought a 1964 baby blue Chrysler Newport connvertible. When it became apparent the draft was about to come knock'n I "volunteered" for the Air Force, the week before I left I took a brand new pair of snow tires and almost ran them bald laying rubber all over town and shooting moons out the back zip out window:yes: Gawd I miss that car

I turned into a Mopar Man when I bought My first car, 1972 Roadrunner. It was in beat up condition and had no motor. My dad and I worked on it and I spent a lot of time fixing that car up. I could have been out with my friends drinking and partying all the time (I'm 17 by the way) but I stayed home and got my car done. Let me tell you, it certainly paid off for me.

I'm glad you stayed home to work on your car. It's a beauty and it shows how well you have done on it.

My first mopar was a 69 monaco 4 door with a 383 2v.Had it for a couple months and then traded it off on a 69 charger R/T.Black interior,red exterior with a black vinyl roof 440 4v,four speed,black bumblebee stripe.Paid 500.00 for the monaco,and then paid 950.00 for the charger.This was back in grade 12 in 1977. Finished grade twelve,went to europe for a month and put the car up for sale.After two weeks I changed my mind and phoned home to tell my dad not to sell it and he said too late,it sold a week after I left.I've regretted selling that car for 33 years.

My 1st Mopar was also my first car, my 1973 Plymouth Duster. My mom used to own a Dodge Coronet in her youth and she came across the Duster for sale and told me about it.

Thanks man, now I get to do stuff like this with my friend who is also in high school. Any excuse to be like my dad when he was in high school I take it.
