my first car was a challenger
My first car was a '70 R/T 440 Six Pack Challenger. Purple with no vinyl top and very few options. It is a four speed car and has few options but it did have the Track Pack with the four speed and a Rally dash, but no console and it had the manual outside drivers mirror. It originally had the longitudinal R/T stripe. I Got it for $750 and it was pretty clapped out, but it was running and had no dents and just a bit of rust at the bottom of the rear window. On the way home, I drove down the Great Highway, which runs the along the Pacific Ocean at the west end of San Francisco. I drove it as fast as it could go and I can't tell you how fast, because I was so busy driving that I diden't dare look down at the speedo. The next day, when I had the front suspension checked, it was all shot. One of the ball joints had half an inch of vertical slop. I was lucky. I still have the car.
