My '68 has been in the family since 1975 and dad gave it to me in about 1988 to fix up when I got my license. I bought my '69 in 1991 and finished restoring it a little over a year ago.

I have owned my 71 since 1987  and my 69  since fall of 2002.   Bought my 95 Ram new and still have it.   Also bought a 2007 Caliber new and still have it!   :icon_smile_big:

I bought my 1947 Dodge WF-32 truck new in 1947. I was a farmer in a previous life and took it with me!    :icon_smile_big:

I'm pretty sure there is a couple of original owners that are members here. One that comes to mine is a red '66 or '67 Charger, but the name eludes me at the moment.

As for my own cars, here's the list & time frame.

1969 Satellite convertible since June 1984   (Longer than I've been with my wife)  :D
1971 Scamp since July 1988
1968 Coronet 500 convertible since August 1997
1968 Charger since 2002 - Can't recall the month, but it was warm out.  :shruggy:
1971 Barracuda since May 2004
1970 Road Runner since August 2005

A friend of mine and me drove The Charger out from first owner home on February 1997. I was to be just a partner on help to rebuilt. Car ended in my hands in July 1998 when my friend who was to be the owner got tired about fix and broke everything ( he got engine broken 2 times in 2 months ). Of course that happens when you make everything wrong

Then I started slowly the rebuilt job just to get it on a decent driver conditions.

I got the temporaly owner document on August 2000 ( first owner was a school friend so we never care about it ), and definitive Main tittle with my name on  October 2003.

Then started to take care to get it at least local show conditions, since I want to drive it, not a trailer queen.

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

I bought my 69 Charger when I was 16 so we're coming up on our 5 year anniversary (4-21-02).  I've had both of my 71 chargers for about 4 years.  I've had my 73 Charger since 2005 and I bought my 68 Charger in august.

Not too shabby for a whipper snapper if I do say so myself.
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

1978 - 29 years, bought when i was 17, it was my first car that I owned (had driven parents cars for a couple years-including a 66 v8 4spd mustang conv) at the time, while i was well familiar with most B-Body car models, I'd never heard of the SE option package till after i bought my own, and even after i started looking for them, didn't see any till the internet made its debut in mid 1990s.  This site seems to be heavy with them. 

It was the #1 hot car in my Sr year at High school, drove me to college for 4 years, and trips to the oil fields of Louisiana.  After graduated college, it got stored away in one garage or another.  It had 73k orig miles when I bought it (109k now), the current motor and tranny have 69k orig miles-taken from another 69 Charger RT (drk green/green interior/green top).  Engine was numbers matching when bought, but i was that dumbass kid that threw the orig motor away. 
69 RT/SE Y3 cream yellow w/tan vinyl top and black r/t stripe. non matching 440/375, 3:23, Column shift auto w/buddy seat, tan interior, am/fm w/fr to back fade, Now wears 17" magnum 500 rims and Nitto tires. Fresh repaint, new interior, new wheels and tires.

68 I bought off this site 4 years ago, my 73 I bought off this site a few months ago, My 74 parts car I got a couple months back, on a lead from a member on this board.  My 70 Challenger convertible I bought in 1982.  Seems like if I had not found this site, I would have much more garage space :icon_smile_big:
