I saw old boy, believe it was an Allison, drive a Matador at Daytona that year..
Hell no it wasn't.. It was Dave Marcis in 1973.

'63 Scout 1/2 cab. Then a '68 Scout full cab. 1/2 was tan, white cab, small 4 cyl, 3 speed - '68 was big 4 cyl 3 speed and Mogen David purple. First I bought was a '52 Chevy Powerglide Deluxe with 235, visor, and skirts!

I started with '68 Dodge Polara 2 door with a 318. Nothing fancy, but I liked it. After a couple of years I sold it and got a '73 Buick Limited 225 4 door. That was okay in a way, but I liked the Dodge better.

I drove a 1957 Ford Station Wagon in High School. Fold those seats down, it was a party-mobile.

I was even practical way back then in high school. But Dad let me have the family 1959 Oldsmobile on date night. 1947 Ford That is a nice looking truck. Have you still got it? No, I kept it in good condition for several years, but later could not justify a major overhaul and sold it to a local vehicle restoration shop. The shop eventually sold it to a person in Tehachapi, Ca.

My first car I bought from my gradfather the summer before my sophomore year in college. Very similar to this '66, but mine was a 1967 Fairlane in the same Pebble Beige. My Dream Car. Dad had 67 427 4sp convertible that he sold before he went to Nam. It was before I was thought of. He had pictures and it was beauty. Always liked the 66 and 67 Fairlanes.

My first car was a truck. 69 F250 360 4spd 2wd brakes worked part of the time. Learned not to fly up to stop signs with that one. A few months later I got a 77 Dodge Monaco 318 2b paid $125.00 for it with a bad trans. Guys that sold it me had a pile of the old 904 transmission he said I know 1 of them is good I just dont know which one. It was the fifth one. I could pull and replace trannys in that car in my sleep.

One day it was gone. The next day it was on the used lot. The owner-in-brief had the misfortune of choosing a section of highway being patrolled by the Iowa Highway Patrol's airplance for a race against a Mustang. Not sure what hit he took in depreciation.

1969 plum crazy purple charger with a 440 and 727 torque flight trans. I Acquired too many tickets so my folks made me sell it after about a year. Next up was a 65 Mustang A code. Black with red interior, 289 4V and 4 speed toploader. Not near as fast as the Charger, but it still attracted the attention of the cops. I had a Plum Crazy 1970 Charger with a black vinyl top (my friend, Joe, called it the purple pimp mobile) - just a 318. The paint on the hood completely peeled off. Dodge was generous enough to provide the paint to have it redone if I paid for the paint job.
