My second car was a 1968 Plymouth Baracuda Formula S, 383 magnum, pistol grip 4 spd, one of less than 400 built. Aside from owning 2 Chevs and 1 Ford product, my life has been around Mopars for the last 4 decades. I have to correct Dragon Lady, as Dodge never produced a 460, that was a ford motor, must have been the neck snappin 440 in a very rare configuration, just like the cuda, having a big block in an "A' body car. These new cars might have some horses under the hood, but they sure don't have the neck snappin torque of a good ole Big Block!

My first car was a 1969 Dodge Dart, green with white leather interior.Had a 460 in it. It hauled azz.Mint cond. Got it for 700.00,
Had the crank for the sun roof. It was a nice ride.

1987 Jetta Diesel. Burned stove oil in it all the time, 33 cents/ litre and 50 mpg. Biggest mistake I made was getting rid of that car to buy an 03 Mazda Precidia V6 with goodies. Went for flash instead... oh well it was fun too.

You know what I would have to agree with you. When I bought it the guy said it had a 360 slant six in it,[???] And everybody would argued with me said 460. So really I DFK. all I know it was green and sweet, sucked gas and could go.

'77 Pontiac Vega....very low key.

From what I've seen driving around lately...no one will have 1st car stories in 10-20 years. It built character driving something that might of had a bit of rust, needed occasional work...we all knew our way around the Canadian Tire Parts Dept!!

Now, I cannot count how many recent High School Grads are driving around in something Brand New or no more than 2 yrs old!!! Not that there's anything wrong with that......but it will never be the way it was in the 70's & 80's where your used car budget could easliy be $500 to $1500. AND, how many people recall paying for insurance by the year $200-300??? When exactly did the insurance "Monthly Payment" plan come about.....LOL.

OK...back to the now....
