I'm in high school and I've got a '68, but never take a chance of it being around school.

I had my 73 while I was in high school. Even with a /6 I was popular with the girls. Just never pop the hood. :)

I've got my '73 now, and I'm in high school.  The hell of it is, it's not too attractive because it breaks down  :icon_smile_blackeye:.  Soon I'll be getting a '69.  Just another car for everyone to make fun of.

I had my '68 Charger all through high school. I drove a Ramcharger and a few winter beaters for everyday use. The Charger was for the nights and weekends.

i dont own a charger but i do own a 72 dart and i am in high school

1970 Charger 500

My first car was a '70 Charger 500 that I drove throughout high school ('78-'81). O0

It was white with a black vinyl top, charcoal interior, 318, buckets w/console license plate # DHY-927!!!
My mom sold it for $500, because it had an oil leak, to a handicapped man who took it to California. :bawling:

When I turned 40, I had to turn 17 again. Went looking specifically for a '70 500 with a 318 trying to duplicate the old car as much as possible.
I passed on a '70 R/T without the original 440 (but kind of knew where it was) for $8,500!
Bought this one on eBay for $8,600.
I got my '70 500 with MUCH MORE than I had hoped for!!
And now I just turned 19 (again) in February.

Looking for a CD by  'The Sub-Mersians'  entitled "Raw Love Songs From My Garage To Your Bedroom"

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

I got my first charger back in 1982. Basically when I hit 9th grade, I had a 68' 318 charger. Not old enough to drive yet, but that was just the beginning. Before I got out of high school, I had about 9 or 10 chargers. All second gen style. I worked two jobs after school and durring the summers. I bought all my cars that I drove. My dad was a cop then, so I had to earn my way around the house hold. Also, speeding tickets weren't an opption, thats another story.........I'm still in contact with my high school shop teacher, he was a mopar guy as well, I held the record for the fastest car in that 4 years also, I drag raced a 68' I had back then at the race track here and it ran low 11's high 12's plus I street drove it.

You guys all suck! J/K You all had beautiful Chargers in highschool, and I had a 92 Buick Roadmaster! :eyes:  I loved my car but I would have loved more to have a charger. There was a guy that reminded me of Wooderson From Dazed and Confused that had a rusty 74 Charger without a hood (because the bolt on the air cleaner was too long :eyes:) and everyone thought he was the coolest kid in school. He got more tail than wanyone I knew.

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't fix your brakes, but don't worry I made your horn louder."

I drove my 73 SE all the time to high school, and work, and nights out, and...... I still have it today.

I drove a 71 charger 500 in high school (when I actually went to school).  It had a 318 with open headers (for a couple months) and all of the girls would tell me that I need to get my car fixed because it is too damn loud.

I had a '68 Charger in High School back in '82, my Senior year......... It was very cool and it was a good time for muscle cars.... It was my daily driver........   It even got voted in my 20th H.S. Reunion's "Top 10 things Remembered" and I was #6 !!!!!  Now, THAT is cool when 20 years later people still remember your Charger...........

It's the yellow '68.....  I got the '69 and '70 v-code about '83/'84................

Bought my 68 in my senior year - 1971. Kept it and it is now undergoing a major renovation. Will never give it up. Dave

I still have mine from when I was in high school, it was one of the top 3 fastest cars on campus. Here it is today in my garage, its going to the bodyshop next month. I've started stripping her down, but its taking me a while as I am recovering from a bad motorcyle accident. Hopefully she should be done by the fall.

I graduated from high school in 1966.  How was I supposed to own a Charger?     ;D

I actually was a Pontiac man back then, and still am a little bit, but I wanted a Charger from the day the second gen cars showed up on showroom floors.  Finally got one in 1981.  Still have it.
