**# 1 Fan**OHIO STATE**
'76 Plymouth volare roadrunner. Had a 318/4 speed. Worked for my dad the summer of '84 to pay for it. It cost $250 back then
Nobody ever paid for my transportation. I worked the tobacco field for my first ride, a 400 Suzuki motorcycle. Rode it till I graduated high school. Got a full time job building peanut combines and bought the only car I ever owned, a Dodge Challenger. That car kept me in trouble and when I finally got my revoked drivers license back from the state, I traded it in on a truck. Never looked back and been in trucks ever since.
All right here goes,,,, to make a long story short,,,, was working a a grocery store as a bagger, best boss I ever had, driving my dad's 67 Lincoln continental, convertable, what a tank, suicide doors and all,,,, had saved quite a bit of money, around the corner from us a guy I knew from my sister was selling his 70 Challenger, 383 with a six pack from a 340, built with a 3 quarter race cam, NO injected, Hurst 4 speed, racing tires, beautiful car, black, 1800.00, I had the cash, my dad and I went and took her around the block, my dad said, man this is some car, but your going to kill yourself in this, I mulled it over, gave him 20 bucks to hold it for me, on the way home we went to a Lincoln dealer that my dad knew the owner, he talked to him about giving me a good deal on a new or nice used car, anyway looked around the lot, and he said that he had a demo with only 300 miles on it, Pinto, 4speed, brown and copper, brand new,,,, got him down to 2400.00,,,, my dad said I can build my credit and not kill myself,,,,got great mileage, took a trip to visit my sister on the east coast, from metro Detroit to Boston on 2 tanks,,,,, will never forget the Challenger,,,, it was definitely a chick magnet, not to mention fast,,,,,
Mine was a 73 model, stock 340, 4 speed with the pistol grip shifter, the color of a Coors can. $4,300 off the showroom floor. I was as out of place in that car as a horse thief in church, and had no business in it. No where to haul a deer and too low to the ground. And it cost me my license for 6 months. Traded it in before I ever got it paid for.
