Who has had their current Hot Rod for more than 25 years ??

Bought it in 1960. I've put on 468,000 miles. Four 4-bangers, a flathead and five Chevies. This was tonight, I lost all my other pics since 1960 in the flood last year because I never got around to scanning them. Bye.

 

Bought my '48 Plymouth in '84. Was on the road stock for a year. Hot Flat head for 12 years and V8 after that. AV8ford helped me paint the flames in the garage for its first event finished '86. Still has most of the Earl Schiebe black paint from the original owner in '72.

Starting to redo the interior as it's drying out. Wife wondered why I was buying a new headliner. Then I reminded her I put the last one in in '85.

I had grey hair when I bought it and it's still grey now.

 

Almost, my pick up in my avatar I got when I was 14 (it was a total basketcase). 24 years ago. Still running strong.

 

I have owned my 68 Camaro since 1985 i guess 1 more year will be 25.
I was 15 years old when i purchased it and has been lots of fun from
a 327 to a 396 over the years
Thanks

My '56 pickup was my grandfathers. He gave it to me in 1986. Technically mine for only 23 years, but in the family for well over 30...

 

I haven't owned it. But my brother bought it in 1969 for $700.00 at an auction. So it has been in our family since then. 40 years...ghost

 

I have owned my 34 Ford pickup since the 70s. HRT

 

I have owned my Roadster since 1974

 

I've had my '53 Mopar since 1982, bought from the estate of the original owner. So, I'm only the 2nd owner of this car. Hard to part with a car that's a '53 and you're the second owner!

 

Only one I have managed to hang on to is my 65 Ford pickup and I've had it for 37 years. HRP

 

We have had this car for 40 years and now is part of the family couldnt imagine ever letting her go she was a rat rod when there wasnt such a word I can remember all you billet boys in the 80's talkin trash on the 37' flathead and why dont you paint that thing well wheres billet now and how come everyone wants to look like me now

 

Dad bought the 55' in 64'.. I've had her since 76' also bought the family 64' GTO from my dad in 81' .... Thru the 3-T in cuz it's just kind of cool.. Grandpa bought her in 49'....

 

I have had the '46 in y avitar since '70. The custom Stude coupe in my profile album has been in the family since 1955 - cut in '62 and needs major work now, My '62 Stude GT Hawk for 20 years and my '64 Daytona wagon for about 14 years - God, where does the time GO!

 

1971. $60.00. No engine, no body ahead of the firewall.

 

I've owned my 55 Chev since 1977...32 years. Can't believe it's been that long!

Last 8 Finished in 1968.

 

Well, I have my first car yet...not hamb friendly but we bought it new in 1984 and I still have it. It has been around for about 25 years so I guess that may count.

 

LOVE that headliner. Any chance of some closer pics? Is it just the chrome headliner bows from a hardtop painted?



And I'm not a "grey beard" ... yet..... but I'm gettin' there. I've had my 55 since 1986 I believe. It was my first car at 16 (nevermind the mullet).




and last week....




I plan on owning it for the rest of my life....

 

Does my Big Wheel count.

 

It has been 4 years ... time for a updated list

 

Bought the starting point for my car in 1984. Been driving it ever since.

 

I've owned my 37 Willys since 1977 and 1981 for my 35 Willys. JW

 

1980

 

That's cool.

 

not a hit rod, but we have had this one for 25 years. Probably had 20 other cars but never let go of this one. Still only has 89000 miles on it, had 55000 miles when we got it.
