Never personnaly owned a cool car (always had 4x4's) but in my early to mid teens my dad was buying and selling nostalgic cars anything from 67 Nova2's to 70's Chevelles, was a big fan of Corvettes my all time favorite Vette was a 67 Convertible, 427 BB with side exhaust matching #'s car today worth well over 100K 2nd had to be the 67 Emerald green Nova 2 that was featured in Super Chevy and won best in show @ world of wheels everytime we entered. I envy you guys who grew up in that era those were some kickazz cars. When I have tons of expendable cash one day I would like a 69 Yenko Camaro but would settle for an RS/SS Yellow with Black racing stripes:kewl:

When I went to college in 1975 I purchased a 1973 camero from my dentist. It had a 454 block and was in great shape. I was making a ton of cash clamming at the time during the summer and I poured a lot of it into my car...which seemed cool at the time but was really not the best move I ever made. This was an engine that was strangled in pollution control crap that prevented it from doing much of anything when stock. Once you got all that junk off it had some impressive performance. Anyway I had the entire vehicle re-built as a street rod. The engine was sent out and came back looking awesome, lots of alum and chome, the interior was re-done in ultra swade and leather. (at the time it was cool) and the audio system was amazing. Wide tires and cregger chome wheels headers, tuned exhaust and a deep matallic blue imron paint job with several coats of clear of made this my babe machine thru college. It would snap your head back and pin you into your seat. Just starting it up was a thrill. The torque was amazing. I have photos but they are on film and I would have to scan them. I kept the car until I moved to northern VA as it was not practical in a city, it could not make it over a speed bump without bottoming. I sold it to my sisters boyfriend who had coveted that thing for several years. I had two vehicles back then this one and a 1977 Land Crusier for surf fishing.....those were the days... I have a photo someplace that has a hot blonde in short shorts and a bikini top with half her A$$ exposed bending over my car with a naughty smile...but my favorite is a different girl in helly hansons and a surf rod next to the Land Crusier who later became my wife. Next time I am up in the attic looking for old photos, I'll dig it out. Yes....those were the days of hot cars, blondes in short shorts, not to mention the average block Island bass back then was 36#!!!!
Gotta run, wife needs me to take out the trash:laugha: |
I had an 88 jeep wrangler, did it up nice. I was off-roading and drove into a pond, swam out of it, pulled it out with a truck, and drove it home. I had to give it up after the electrical issues started. I had some other cars since then but just bought an 04 wrangler to relive the good memories.
