Cool! I used to have a '66 Charger. My great-grandfather bought it new and kept it inside a warehouse for the better part of 20 years. One day my dad needed a car and his grandfather told him to "try to start the old Charger." He cleaned off the points and fired it right up. My aunt inherited the car, then my mom bought it as my 17th birthday present. Unfortunately the timing was bad and I sold it back to my aunt when I went to college. I wish I had it now. Pale yellow with a pearlescent white interior, 383/auto.

I bought a 64k ~92 Eclipse I bought when I left for college. It spent more time in the shop that it did driving down the highway before I totaled it on the back of a van that stopped in the middle of the freeway.
Most of mine were just as bad growing up, always breaking. This one I just bought though I have gone through it with a mitsubishi shaped comb and replaced all the timing components so it will hopefully last, that and I'm not 18 anymore driving the piss out of it

mine was good until the dealer touched it. Timing belt recall, I took it in, and all hell broke loose. Balance shaft belt was broken, and included in recall, so they put a new one on, and the seal then started leaking, and then when I picked it up, it had a rod knock that they *couldnt* hear... nor would they do anything about it. I got it fixed by some Asian dudes that didnt speak english, and they did a great job for cheap. After that, it just went down hill, stupid small bullshit was one thing after another, and I didnt have time or money to do anything about it at the time.

Same. The one in the picture I was sitting on had the timing belt and components done by a reputable shop at the time, ctc which turned into wasabi racing, and they didn't do the balance shaft belt. It broke loose and the car died on the highway and naturally I popped it back into gear blowing the end case of the transmission and destroyed the head.
