Road Runner Nest

This was me and my first car (1970 Super Bee 383 4-speed).
Circa July 1982.
(I was 17 in this picture and had graduated High School just a few weeks earlier).
I worked at a restaurant washing dishes and bussing tables to save up the $1200.
I was so much younger and cars were so much cheaper back then.
I might have been 17 but I knew I LOVED MOPARS!

Great Story

Do you still have the Super Bee? If not what happened to it?

Me with my first two cars...both FWD mopars around 1989...19 yrs old. The first road runner came along about a year later.

i didnt start buying cars for almost 10 years after you and even at that time they were affordable, its hard to believe you cant buy enough parts to fill a truck bed for what you could buy a driving car for at that time. i have sold nicer cars to junk yards than some of the stuff people try to sell now. anyway i like that 70 you had.

Yup, that was an 86 GLH turbo I bought when it was a year old. Fun car, but it had a ridiculous amount of wheel hop and torque steer.
