    The first car I got towed home because I didn't have my license yet was a strong running 1962 Pontiac with a 389 ! Then I got a 66 Chevy Belair . After I got out of school the list went on & on & on and never stopped !
    I really wished I took pictures of all the cars I had so I could cry because they are worth a fortune now !

    My first car was a 63 Olds F85 wagon hand me down from my mom. I drove it through freshman year. It had a Sanyo BiAmp cassete. I have actually found one at a swap and a CB which is not high on my list to track down. I got hit in the rear quarter by a hit and run driver. It was sold to a family freind then got hit by a train so I could not get it back. I have since found one and bought it and my brother has found two! I also have two 63 F85 parts cars and a 63 F85 convertable.

    Next I had a 69 Lemans. Someone posted earlier about some large home speakers in the rear seat, I had a pair of Hiel monitors which were the speakers Rock bands would put on the stage to hear over the Marshall amps! 2112 would make your ears bleed! It had fake (steel rim aluminum face) five spokes on most of the time.

    Then I got a 69 Camaro SS. Hugger orange with orange hounds tooth interior. Ran Keystones on that.

    Then a 67 Camaro SS which was a trans am type build lowered with big tires all around. It morphed from that to the gasser look with 15x3 1/2 and 10 Ansen slots.

    1958-1959. A Triumph TR-3. My mother bought it new. She went top our local Buick dealer to get a new wagon and fell in love with this light blue TR-3 in the showroom. Got it instead. After she drove it three days, driving with heels and getting in and out with a dress, she gave up and gave it to me. And she went and got the Estate Wagon.

    '61 - Pasadena High School, CA...had a '30 Ford roadster with a 324 Olds, Engle cam, 1 4bbl. '29 fenders, 32 shell...Shiffano top...have a picture of it somewhere...judge ultimately made me sell it...got a half-finished 40 Ford 2-door, put a '56 Pontiac in it, TJ tuck-and-roll, then a half-finished '34 sedan delivery...265 with 3 Rochesters....had the sedan delivery back door with a window...one of my buddies (not very bright) decides to moon the car behind us through the back window...I forgot to tell him that the door did not latch all that well, so when I took off, the door, with the weight of his bare butt popped open, and out he went, almost got run over by the car he was mooning.

    1969 Mach1 - Wish I still had it. Bought it off of guy in Englewood ohio when I was 15 for $400.00 back in 1984. (intersection of route 49 and route 40). It was sitting behind the guys house up on blocks and the engine was in pieces in his basement. Dad and I towed it home and pushed it into the driveway. My Mom had a cow. I don't think she spoke to my Dad for quite a while after that. I don't think she ever did like the car.

    It was amazing how fast I could get from Brookville ohio to Greenville ohio and back in that car. Sold it when I was 20 to go to school. What a fool.

    I rolled the 74 (or so...) Honda Civic dad bought for my mom/sister/myself to share in 78. Mom drove it back and forth to work, sis and I had to vie over it for the weekends. After that he bought a new Chevy and let me have the 72 Pontiac Catalina wagon. What a boat! Sis bought a Pinto shortly after, I drove the Cat for almost a year and bought a 61 Rambler wagon. I think that little flat-head six was nearly as good on gas as the Pinto, looked cooler (well, some said it was "so ugly it's cute"...), and held four friends with ease! One reason I have a Rambler now... though a bigger and better looking one...

    I wanted Camaro, but a guy in the neighbor was flipping a 1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 HO. Bought it in August 1979 and drove it during my senior year. Gas was killing me, so I sold it a year later and bought a 1970 Datsun 520 pick-up. BTW, I'm still friends with the guy who sold me the Firebird.

    A 1954 chevy two-10 del ray. My old man bought my brother and I the car when we were 14 years old, and told us, "boys, if you want to drive old cars, you're going to have to learn to work on them." My dad bought it for 1500 dollars in 1987 and it wasn't running at the time and completely stock. My brother did the motor work and I did the body work. At that time, my brother was working for a motor/heavy equipment repair shop, and I had a job working for Coach Craft auto body. I wasn't a body guy there, just clean up and take the big 1960 ford 1 ton to the dump once a week. But I asked a lot of questions and some of the guys there showed me "how" to fix fenders, dents, and prep cars for painting. So that's what we did. My brother had the guy he was working for help him with the motor, and I had the guys at the body show help me with figuring out and getting the body work right.
