41 Ford Panel Truck.

83 Mustang which I totaled while deer hunting.

1958 MGA Coupe. It sat so low I could touch the road while in the driver's seat.

1962 Chevy Impala . Rebuilt the engine added paint,wheels , tires ,exhaust and stereo.

65 Mustang fastback, T-boned and totalled in about 3 months.

Ditto.
Mine was red, and I will never forget those tail lights.
Nor the 8-track tape player.
It cost $600, used car lot, in 1973 and I made payments of $50 per month on it,
when gasoline was about 29 cents per gallon.
I was a working man of 18 y.o. after I dropped out of West Point,
after Nixon, who appointed me, announced that he was dropping out of Vietnam.
Word came down in Nov. 1972, but dang didn't they make a mess of it for 2-1/2 years more.
Sort of Bidenesque that was.

60's Mustangs were cheap second hand cars in the 70's.

First car was a faded black '49 Ford 4-dr sedan that had been very lightly side-swiped down the passenger side. Paid $65 for it. Had an excellent flathead V-8 and 3-speed column shift. Soon I found a '51 2-door Victoria pillarless coupe for sale in a gas station. That had a perfect body and interior, but the engine and trans were shot. Bought that for $150 and swapped in the engine and trans from the '49.

1964 Buick Le Saber with the wildcat engine. It was a beast!!!

Red and black 1956 Ford Fairlane, 292 V8, 3 speed manual.

87 Buick Century... total POS 💀 I probably worked on that car more than I drove it.

My father's Oldsmobile. 1976 Oldsmobile Omega eith a straight six and an automatic.

68 VW Beetle

1967 Ford Fairlane GT. 390 big block and a C6. 500.00. Bought it when I was 15 years old. Drove it up and down the drive way for a while and drove it to Alabama before I had my license.

1972 Monte Carlo with a 402 cid Big Block.
When I was 15, The Old Man give me a choice between 4 cars that would need about the same amount of work to put on the road.
When I saw those great big valve covers under the hood of that Monte Carlo, it was an easy choice!😎
Worked on that car for a year before I could drive it.
Dad was a little worried about me having that big hammer of a motor.
But I took great pride in that car, and I only Drag Raced it a little !
She was more my baby than hot rod, but it was nice having both in the same vehicle!
Reon

Same. Mine was a convertible. My parents gave it to me in Fall 1971 when I was a junior in high school. (I graduated in 1973.)

Cheers! Bob F.

1957 Buick 2 door coupe. Beautiful black and gray heavy beast that could plow through Chicago snow drifts like a dozer!

1963 Chevy Impala, 2dr hard top, black.
