Here is a pic of my first car, bought in September 1976:
Dodge Dart Swinger, 1970, 240 in line six cylinder, 2 barrel
Mine was light blue with a white vinyl top. Six cylinder engine, got around 30 mpg. Gas at the time was approximately 45 cents a gallon and i could drive over a week on a tank. Definitely a party car, its probably been restored and sitting in somebody's garage somewhere nowadays...
