I don't even remember what my first Mopar was. Probably a Duster. I've had more of those than I can keep track And I wish I had another one.

I do still have the first Charger that I bought in 86.... And have yet to see it go under it's own power. Soon though... Soon.

Technically yes I still have the first (mopar) that I purchased, it was in 1995. I bought a 1990 Dodge Daytona ES, car now has approximately 350,000 miles on it, and is sitting in a barn. I haven't even went to look at it in the last 7 years but I"m sure it is still there. Next car was a 1974 Duster which is in another barn. Don't have the first Charger I bought, as I only had it for 2 days. First one I had was a 1970 Charger, bought it in Seattle, sold it when I got back to Illinois in college in 1996.

It belonged to my Grandfather for a few years before I got it. He passed away and no-one was interested, so i took it.

They aren't going anywhere. There is plenty of other cars in the same barn, along with a few tractors and such. No high $$ cars in there though. Now the other Duster I had that I sold, its in nice company in its new barn parking spot.
