My first car was a Lime Green(original pain) 1971 Dodge Charger. The first time I saw the car I wanted it. The shape of the car just hooked me along with the color. It has a 340 4 barrel out of a 73 Challenger attached to a 3 speed automatic planting the power with some large rear tires. We bought the car for $1500 and had to do quite a bit of work to it before I could drive it. We replaced the intake gasket, had the carbarator rebuilt, put a new set of headers and exhaust on the car, had the alignment fixed, put in some new carpet and replaced all of the tires. Later on we got the vinal top replaced along with a little body work, had the front vinal seat recovered and finnally I put a radio in the car. Because the cops didn't like out is sounded though, we had to ditch the glass packs for a couple of mufflers.
I really enjoyed the car even though the brakes weren't the best, the heater didn't work that well, there was no air conditioner, wet traction was horrible and the head lights where dim. I loved being known as teh buy with the green car. We sold it to a guy in Dallas who then sold it to a buy who came out to Texas Tech to go to school. Rather odd seeing your first car on campus but I enjoy looking at the car and miss it dearly. |
