Sam's (Mockingbird812) 71 440 Charger

[Motion Camaro]

<font color="blue">Your car is beautiful!!!
I had that same car in whatever the goldish/orange color they had then.
What a great car, I really miss it. The 440 is my favorite Mopar engine &amp; boy was that car fast.

It was 1976 in Yonkers N.Y. &amp; it was my first car.
The ad read,"1971 Dodge, 440 engine with custom carburator, $1200.00 obo".
The car was clean &amp; stock; except for the "custom" carb
(which was a chrome air cleaner) . I gave the guy the $1100 I saved up all year,
(since dad would not buy me the '67 Camaro 327 tunnelram car I wanted, another story),
&amp; drove that car home.

I learned a lot of driving skills with that car,
it was the first time I went to the dragstrip &amp; the first time I went down the dragstrip.
(13.99 @ 97 in trophy stock). smokin the tires through 1st &amp; 2nd with my Formula One G60-15's.

Still have the trophy.

Unfortunatly it was stolen when I was in the Bronx some time later.

I will never forget my first hotrod. </font>
