What cool car did you own in your Senior Year of high school?

1969 El Camino
paint - Corvette yellow
Calif. Lic. 60 121 D

My father bought this car new and used it for a shop truck. It was pretty beat when I got it in 86. By 90 my brother had hopped up the 350 and turned it into a street racer. AHS Class '87.

Has anyone seen it? Sold it back in 92 to some guy in Long Beach.

 

Geezzz after reading through, some of this thread..you guys were lucky!!
Heres is something like what I rode, if I couldnt bum a ride with some of my friends, which were as blessed as you all.lol

 

I had a 67 gto tiger gold with a dual gate shifter and gragar five spokes. had eight track player with black sabath tape hanging out of it. Wasn't the baddest car in the lott.....The Mad Greek had a 65 chevelle with a built SBC munci combo that ran 11's . Kupets had a v-8 vega race car he limped to school when the cops werent looking faster than me also. My goat was lucky if it run in the 13's.

 

'56 Corvette.....Yah, I feel bad just thinking about it.

 

in high school i had a 68 camaro a 1970 nova and a1975 k5 blazer "lifted"
my bro had a 68 r/t charger . we still have the camaro and the charger !
my buddy had a 68 chevelle and another buddy had a 70 chevelle. also my bro had a 1948 panhead
and we paid for it ourselves. unlike the fags of today with their gay ass subaru's and queer honda's 'LOL'
i almost forgot my brothers duster. that thing was cool as well ! and my stepbrother had a sweeeeeeeeeeet boogie van. with all the trimmings

 

Graduated in '81 and was driving a '73 Gran Torino! Ya it was big but it was bad! Had taken a 351 Cobra Jet/c6 special out of a 72 torino cop car and replaced the 351w/fmx, also changed the 2.75 gears for 3:50's. Beleive it or not it quite a few Camero's and Mustang's wondering what the hell was in it! And the back seat was well used!

 

Hmm... well my junior year I had a '63 Electra 225, 4-door, but I sold that. I'm in my senior year now, and all I have is projects laying around. Man, I'm a failure.

 

Class of 1968. Plym. 2 door sedan. Fenderless, buick flathead(53), three speed, slicks, orange. Wish I had never sold it and tried to find it later in life to buy it back but no go.

 

53 Ford Victoria, dropped spindles, de-arched springs, de chromed, Mustang rebuilt flathead.

Don't know how cool it is to you but for me it was at the time. This is my first ride back in '72, a 1959 Volvo 544, kinda like an old Ford.

 

1959 Impala convert. Got a pic around somewhere with me (at 16) standing next to her. Dad had a junk yard and I got whatever was wrecked then fixed for resale - til it sold . Also had an Austin Healy 3000 (I think it was a 3000 ) for a while.

 

My 55 of course!

 

Class of '62 (where were you in '62). '29 coupe w/ '47flathead out of the school bus I rode to school on in first grade. My grandfather had the contract to haul school kids and I was the first on in the morning, last off at night. I rebuilt the engine, bored .080 over, 3/4 cam (yea,right), '39 toploader, 16" steelies w/whitewalls. I drove it the last two years of high school and the first two years of college. My girlfriend (my wife of 46 years) was the only one besides myself that could drive it. It was love at first powershift and knew it was meant to be.
