Old school guy still plays with cars

Discussion in 'New to the H.A.M.B.? Introduce yourself here!' started by tonyimpala, Apr 1, 2011.

  1. I'm 65 years young. My first ride was a 1957 Belair con. My first new car was 1967 Buick GS with 400 cu and a 4 speed. Before I sold that ride it was my first custom. A 1965 Chevy Corvette was next. I did all the work myself and self taught. Sold the vette and started building my first street rod, a 1938 Caddy coupe. It was only a shell at the start. I got it to start, drive and STOP! During the build a 1931 model Ford entered. It was powered by a 63 327 vette back by a Muncie 4 speed. I sold them an enter into a 1936 chevy 2 dr sedan. Next ride was a 1939 Chevy coupe. This was my first full custom show car. It was sold along with my 1986 Monte Carlo to my room for my 1937 Ford custom street rod built in Iowa by Randy Sell a good friend of mine. I recently sold my 1996 Chevy Impala with 9000 miles. To make room for my 1966 chevelle ss 4 speed. In 1995 I competed a full restoration of my 1963 Chevy Impala SS conv. With 67,000 miles.
    I also collect and restore antique bikes, old pedals, toys, gas pumps,air meters,oil and cans, coke-cola machines and coolers and I a New York State license plate collection.
    As you can see I have a great deal of experience and would be happy to answer any questions. Thanks
