Cool AH... was that 69 a hemi? 
70 MACH 1... had a friend with one of those, real neck snapper.
My first, 64 Tempest, 326, crane 3/4 race cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley 650 dual feed double pumper, Heddman Headers, Thrush pipes, bored .30 over, over size intakes and exhausts, Accel coil and dual point distrubutor, M22 4 gear out of a wrecked W30 olds, 411 posi rear gear, homegrown custom paint, Cragar slotted chrome rims.
waaay too much take home pay and time for a 17 year old... kept me busy  had a few others, and a lot of cool beach buggys, but ya never forget your first.

My cars were the polar opposite of cool 
70 Chevy Malibu w/ a 307 
74 Fix-It-Again-Tony 128
74 Buick Apollo w/ a 350
74 AMC Hornet w/ a 232 straight 6. Probably the best of the lot.
78 Dodge Aspen with a slant 6. Not the original, but a "Super Slant"
96 Chevy Lumina, 3.1 V-6
Trucks, on the other hand, were more interesting
72 Kaiser Waggy, w/ the AMC 360, TH 400 tranny and a Dana 20 T-case. My all-time favorite beach ride.
78 K-5 Blazer. Had a 350 w/ headers, but it had been beat to crap towing.
89 Isuzu Trooper. Nothing cool about it, but it lasted 10 years, 215,000 miles and went thru almost anything.
99 Cherokee Sport. I never should have let my ex talk me into turning it back in at the end of the lease  
02 Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport, w/ the 4.0 straight 6. Current ride. Only good thing about it is the engine. Tranny has been a major headache  |

'69 Road Runner w/440 Magnum, 4 speed, 6 pack. Was my first car. I bought it as a totaled wreck at the auto auctions. My best friends uncle had a body shop and he did the work to the car as well as a '70 Chevelle that my friend picked up at the same time. $1800 initial cost, then another $800 or so in work and I was ripping up the streets. God my father hated that car. He swore I was going to kill myself in it. I almost did!
'67 Chevelle SS w/396, 4 speed. Close to 430hp. Got the front end off the ground without a problem. This one was a total resto, frame up. All original.
A couple of Harley's including one custom built from scratch by me. 1980 Shovel head Big Twin. Paugho hardtail frame, wide glide front end, fatbob tanks, and jockey shift. Sweet.

The camper in particular is a speed demon, with water tanks, pop-top, and the kitchen.
Those were great engines, a lot more fun in a tiny Porsche with big carbs though. |
