Since we have a thread who has had their Charger the longest thought I would ask this one
Who is the youngest person and who is the oldest person that owns a Classic (1966 to 1974 ) Dodge Charger today on the forum ?
It can be on the road or still a project dream in the shed
It has to be more than a pile of rust with two hub caps and a steering wheel ( has to have an ownership )
Being 53 today will not make me the oldest or youngest :icon_smile_big:
I'm 22 and have owned my 68 since I was 20, so I'm probably one of the youngest, although I've seen high schoolers on Instagram that own Chargers. I've never seen them on this forum though.
I'm 24 and I had one of my chargers since I was 19.
51...not young enough to have any excuses....not old enough to know better!
Sure this is not the oldest...I'm 54 and have owned my Charger since 1979.
I am 41 and have owned my Charger since I was 16. Time flies because I could swear that test drive was yesterday.
I am fiddy three, owned my '70 since 1986.
57, which makes me the oldest so far.

Very cool! Next year will be 40 years!
Does it have to be actual age. I cannot figure out if I am wise beyond my years or really immature
Bought my charger from my dad in the early 80's as a teenager.
My age in dog years is really high though.
We should tell the guys in the Aero Car section about this thread. I hear they are all old codgers (except Danny!). :P
Don Hayton (charger490) is 85. But now I see he hasn't logged in for a while. (We're friends on Facebook so I'll go bug him.)

Please do. Don't leave me hanging as the oldest!
They're all into down force. I doubt that they can scroll up to the Charger section. ;)
Older now, bought my first Charger, a 1968 w/ a 440, 3 months after I turned 17 :shruggy: :shruggy:
I'm 33 and I have been working on mine (off and on) since high school. They were a lot cheaper back then.

$1,400, no kidding...
34, bought it at at 14, paid 2,000
My son is 8 months old and I told him the 68 is his. Does that count?
I think I will set the bar a little higher. Turning 72 is a month. Bought my first Charger new at 23 (long gone.)

HEY!!! ok, I'm 62, BUT I saw the wing cars run and win races in person!!! :nana:
64 here
Bought mine when I was 13 but...
A) It was a 4th gen
B) I have since sold it
So I'm not sure if it counts :shruggy:
So far it looks like richf is youngest and owns a Charger at 22

So far I am the 2nd oldest owner at 65. But... I may be the oldest one who has had the same Charger for the longest time and/or percentage of his life. ;D
I bought my '69 in 1975 and still have it. So, I have owned it for 43 years or 66% of my life.
Below is a photo a friend took 7-8 years ago just after I arrived at a show.
:cheers:
54 yrs old and bought my '70 32 years ago for $2500.
I'm 23. Bought my 1970 when I was 21.
i am 63 i share ownership with my 14 year old grandson
Bought my first Charger at 17. 73 Charger SE Brougham with a 400 purple cam and a 727. Paid 1800.
I gave my youngest Son my 1970 Charger 500 S.E. for his 16th Birthday for us to work on & restore together. It is now his. Does that count.
my 1st Car was a 68 Charger when I was 14, traded my 10 speed bike for it, I had to sell it, I am 55 now & have owned my 68 Charger for 6 years.

OMG very similar to my status. I'm also 55 and had my 68 Charger since 2012 (6 years). However I did NOT own a Charger when I was 14 lol. Nor at anytime until 2012.
