What was your first car?...What happened to your first car?

1974 Dodge Charger SE. 318 with 340 Xcode heads and a small cam. I was racing my buddy's little '79 Mazda RX7 that was set up for SCCA racing on Piedmont Rd in Marietta. I got him off the start then he caught me in the curves. I shifted into 2nd and threw a rod. Bought several motors over the next few months but never built the car again. Sold it in '96 to buy an engagement ring for my wife of 17 years. I always tell her my car fund is on her finger. :) We laugh about it now.
 
1990 Daytona Shelby VNT that was one of 536. Really neat car for the time period. I sold it to a guy in Florida my senior year of High School.

69 Buick sportwagon. It was the skylark wagon. 350 rocket, 400 Turbo tranny. I ate up a lot of novas with it. All while running unleaded gas in it. I still wonder how I survived that car.
