mine was a '69 nova 2dr, then a '75 monza hatch back v8,morph'd into a 400hp street rocket.

I had a 76 Olds Delta 88, 4 door aircraft carrier that was a parental handmedown. Then I got what I really wanted, a 74 VW Bug.

'81 VW Scirocco

1977 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton PU with inline 6. it was a tank and i beat the crap out of that truck till i blew the motor.

73 Karmann Ghia Coupe May She Rest In Peace

1600 Dual Port engine stock street sleeper. Stock Body on the outside, but I did here up right underneath.

Bilstien shocks all around, 3/4 sway bars front and rear, polly bushings. 944 brakes front and rear, 914-6 5.5" x 15 steel wheels running the VW hub caps. Would piss of a many driver with that car. Loved smashing Vettes into the corner and watching them disapear in the rearview. That is until we hit a long straight, they would some how catch back up. But you knew you got them good. to have your doors blown off by a ghia had to be a pisser. Latter on she got a 1.7L 914 Type 4 then a 1.8L then a 2.0L. Made it that much more fun, I really miss that one.

67 Charger, around 1977. It still had the 426 HEMI tags on the side of it. The PO had taken it out and put it in his truck. He replaced it with a 383, which was no slouch either.

Might wanna find that one, Barrett$$$$$$Jackson

I had a 1958 Corvette, I bought it in 1972 for $90.00. All that was there was a frame and a body from the firewall back. My dad and I cut the body in half and put a new front end on it, built a 327 sbc, 2 1/2 years later, I'm hotrodding around Glendora, raising all kind of hell.

My dad gave me the old family car when I turned 16. A green '68 Plymouth Fury III.

A week later I traded it in as the down payment on a '67 Austin Healy Sprite.
It took me another week before I got my 1st speeding ticket.

1978 MGB, bought in 1984. Scared me off British cars for 20 years. The single Zenith carb disassembled itself daily, it had gaping rust holes behind the doors (after only 6 years!). Sold it off to a guy who bought it to part it out in 1987.

I had free reign in my Dad's shop, and got to do all the work myself... Flared the rear fenders. Painted it. Put an L18-SSS motor in it with dual sidedraft Webers.

I bought a complete performance suspension package for it, and the Friday before the weekend I was going to install it..... Got tail-ended by a drunk driver and totalled it!!

My dad bought me a car when I graduated HS in 1965, I asked for a triumph....I guess I was the only one who DIDN'T know they made a pos called the Herald...didn't even have the sport 6 engine...I blew it up quick and the lot traded me for a 58 vw van....much better.

Oh you bet cha.

1971 Buick Skylark in baby-sheeat green.
Nickname: The Booger
Broke down for the winter on the first snowfall. (no joke)
Did not off-road very well. Front end to heavy. Probably due to the 350 engine.
Could fit 13 passengers uncomfortably and still max the speedo at 110 mph. (Don't ask me how I know this. )
