I hope this qualifies for the thread, my first car. '74 Challenger circa 1989.

318 2brl with an auto. Single exhaust.

In a way I did not like the car because what I really wanted was a '70 big block Challenger, or anything Mopar with a big block. I didn't have the tools or knowledge to do anything to change it.

I paid $1400 for it. Which was probably about $300 too much at the time, but who is really a good negotiator when they are 18? I wasn't, and my parents were not either.
It came to me with a serious rod knock. Pretty reliable car though.

When it was time to sell it, I didn't really know what to do because I had never sold a car before. I pretty much knew where the local mopar cars were in my small town, and there was a house a few miles away with a '70 Challenger parked in the driveway. So, I drove up to the house down a long dirt driveway, with a bunch of wild dogs there to great me. I got out of the car, knocked on the house and asked if they wanted to buy my car. I didn't know him, he didn't know me. He said sure, how much. I told him $1100. He gave me a couple hundred dollars cash and the rest in a check. The check cleared.
