I'm 23, but I'll count myself in here because I got my 70 when I was 16, and it was my first and only car for a long time. Counting down the days til the resto is done now..

Not technacally a teen any more but I was 15 when I bought my '68. I found a few pics the other day that I took the day I bought the car. They are not the best pics ever but youll get the idea.

It is cool that you guys can afford and appreciate a old classic car. But I am curious as to how you young guys can afford to buy and restore your cars. When I was in my teens back in the 1970s and early '80s, beater cars (like some of these started out as) were only $500, or much less.... and they were running and driving cars. Now beater Chargers are $5,000. My thought are that you have wealthy parents and or a good money source?  I mean, I can't afford to do anything with my car now little alone way back when.

I had (moved recently) a really good job at an ice cream shop. I was the owners right hand man. I would come in and open/run the store on Sundays when he would take his Big Dog chopper out. I would also run the shop for a week while he was at Sturgis. I was closing the store 4-5 nights a week working about 30-35 hours a week on top of school. I would make pretty good tips working there as wel(30 bucks in a 5 hour shift during the summer)l. I also used to scrap metal during the summer. I would go to the auctions at the university and buy all the broken stainless steel and aluminum scientific equipment. One time I got a set of weights to calibrate equipment. It was a total of about 100 pounds (8 or so weights), these things were solid blocks of aluminum...I got it for 5 bucks. I also don't really buy much of anything else. Just if I feel like going out to lunch or renting/going to a movie. My parents haven't given me any money for the car or any car parts.

I opened up a savings account with my parents on it when I was about 11, and would put my birthday money, etc. in there ( I didn't have anything else to spend it on). Also in there went money that I inherited from my grandfather, money from selling things on Ebay, garage sales, working odd jobs for people such as cleaning up lots, etc. When I was 15 I had about $3,900 in there, and bought my Charger for $3,600 (as I said), and the rest was spent on gas, etc. Therefore, I ended up with a Charger and no money to spend on it. Still, I think I got a pretty good deal on the Charger. When I turned 16, I worked that summer on a farm doing general cleanup and maintenance, but then went to high school the following year and had no job so that I could focus on school. With a little money back, I was working on the Charger off and on a bit, but most of that was spent on sandpaper and stuff like that. Starting this summer I got a job at a restaurant as a dishwasher, and that is what is funding my Charger project so far, little by little. . .

Well my dad got me mine.....back in 98 for $400.  If I were to find another Charger that is in the same shape mine was when we got it...it would probally be $2000+

Well, I found a really good deal on mine, and it didnt need much when I bought it. I am 17 now and I bought it when I was 16, so ive had it less than a year. I do get help from my parents every once in a while, but 90% of the time, I just save my money for what ever it needs.

I found mine in a field when I turned 15, got my first job and saved to get it! Now I have a loan for the motor, and two jobs going paycheck to paycheck while I go to college.

[The70RT]

Got mine when I was 17 back in 1978 for $1000. Worked at a resturaunt to pay back the loan at $38 a month And just now am restoring it. Time does fly You young guns will soon find out how fast.

Mom and Dad helped me buy my first Charger, so I just bought and sold from there 

[Manfred318]

I was working at my high school when I bought mine. I paid $5200 for it at the time. It run and drove but needed a resto. I was working 3 hours a day after school my sophmore and junior year and 3 hours after lunch my senior year. I only went to school a half day my senior year so I hung out during all 3 lunches and went to work right after. It was paying right close to $10 an hour so it wasnt bad money, and I really didnt spend it on much else. My parents helped out quite a bit too as well did my grandma before she died. Ive bought and sold a few cars and a 4-wheeler to help out too.

[Brightyellow69rtse]

i bought mine when i was still living at home, i had no real bills to speak of, car insurance and whatever i bought. i worked 55 hours a week since i was 18 and i banked pretty much my entire check so after alomst 2 years of looking i found it and dropped 8k for it. not sure what i got in it now never really figured it out............Mike
