Regretably I have owned but two plymouth's, a 68 440 4speed Racing green GTX...sold it to back to the original owner when I needed cash for graduate school....miss that one....but felt good about doing the title searches to find the original owner, and a 10 second 340 plymouth arrow that still brings a grin to this day.....used to drive it to work and do a pre-work parking lot long cleansing burnout around 75-100 feet each morning.....The perfect way to get you up for a 1990 style recession! Traded it for Lil Red #1. I miss the arrow more.

Dodges, thats another story...from Darts, to Demons, to Challengers, to lil reds, to warlocks, to D-150's and D-350s.

Maybe one day a SS/AH might grace the garage....A cuda would be nice, a Dart even nicer though.

Myron is correct though, a AAR cuda is just stunning.

You win! Wow, that's some collection. Were these all bought during the '70's oil embargo? I know of a guy here in Phoenix named Dave Blake who still has many of these cars. He bought them from the mid to late 1970's when gas was "expensive". He has an impressive collection and at one time (still?) had 3 HEMI E-body convertibles and 3 HEMI Darts.
Ah, the money that has slipped through our hands!

The '69 Road Runner 440 6-pak 4-speed would have to be in that list. When properly tuned and driven, they were brutal on the street.

My all-time favorite would be a '70 383 Roadrunner, followed by a '70 Duster 340.

I'm easy.
