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.

Bought this one in 77. Started with wheels, then headers, then cam, then gear, then a 340 with a blower. My wife and I went on our first date in it. Dizuster and his brother both had their first ride home from the hospital when they were born. Though it's been parked a few years we still have it.First time out with the blower it went 13.99. Eventually bolted on a set of slicks and uncorked it, 11.88. Still same engine package except cam and converter. Currently been 11.0@123, 3875# in street trim. Doug Love the car and story. We have had ours for 34 years now
6.50 @105.26
