Well Franco my friend......you'll be pleased to hear that my first car I owned was a '69 Plymouth Road Runner. You sitting down? Powered with the 440 Magnum, 4 speed. My best friend at the time had an uncle that owned a body shop. He took us to the auto auctions. It was an insurance salvage and was deemed a total wreck. Probably because it was only a year and a half old. The damage wasn't that bad. The uncle reassured me that it was very fixable. We put the bid on it and I got it for $1800. Spent about another 6 months fixing everything (all rear end and frame work). Drove the car for almost 2 years then sold it when I went in the Army.
My Dad hated the car. Or so he let me know, but I found out later on that it was my Mom that hated it and he was just relaying what she kept nagging him about. I kind of knew it anyways when I saw him on more than one occasion wiping it down with a rag in the driveway. His eyes also sparkled when I let him drive it. ;)
That car was a beast. Not the fastest of the line, but I'd beat everyone down the line. All top end. 8)
