1966 Fairlane 500 couple, candy apple red - literally a little old lady (aka my Grandma) drove it to church every Sunday and that's about it. I bought it in 1974 with 22000 miles on it; 289 automatic Sadly, sold it when I entered college in 1976 but I paid for a year's tuition, books and fees Sure wish I still had it

At 15 I got a hagged out 1965 Ford Ranchero so I could drive to school and work. It had a 260 V-8 automatic with power steering and a factory driver's side spotlight/mirror combination that did not work. It was faded tan and rusted out fender wells with rotted floorboards you could throw a cat through. It had almost 200,000 miles on it. It had been an old drunk my dad worked with fishing vehicle he used to pull a small boat. I paid $250.00 for it, drove it two years, blew the motor and sold it for $300.00 to guy who rebuilt it. I learned a lot about keeping a rolling wreck running during those early years.

A spotless 63 Impala 2 door 283 bought in 65 from a PCSing GI. The car and me went many places together.

74 Chevy Blazer. 3" lift, 33" Super Swampers.
Dad bought me a cam, oil pump, double roller chain and Performer intake for my birthday and we did the swap one weekend. Rebuilt the Q-Jet at the same time.
Ran pretty stout. That's one I would like to have back for sure.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
