First Mopar, 68 Charger registration number 3 VVO. Advertised in Exchange & Mart. Paid £1200.00 for it and the reg number wasn’t even mentioned. I think it was around 1980. We bought the Superbee in 1982 for £2000.00. Lots of different Mopars since.

I've bought the Road Runner in December 2004, 13 1/2 years ago.
Back in 85, I bought a 70 Coronet and drove it every day (even through Winter) for over 5 years. Not sure what happened to the Coronet but heard it went to Europe some time after I sold it.

Bought my Challenger in 1993 for £1500. One year on the road then 20 off, back on the road 2014 as the Sam Posey Tribute car, no plans to sell, too much of my life gone into that car.

Aussie ChargerIve had since 2003, that was a stop gap whilst the Challenger was in too many bits, so a 15 year stop gap that needs a resto now. Don't think I'd sell that either??

3 years today. 4th July 2915 is was delivered. This year the little bugger better behave and have some miles put on her.
Robin still hates it though :?
New carb fitted over the winter now the fuel pump is up the swanny we think.Silly little bits but John Marsh lives too far away for a quick fix, especially when we can’t drive it there!
Still love her though and she ain’t going up for sale just yet, probably as no one would buy her after reading my broken down again posts.
