Here are a couple of our 409 when we first owned it in 1979 sitting in the driveway awaiting it's first re-fresh and then again in the driveway just after a garage re-spray along with a photo of the freshly assembled replacement 409 that Dad rounded up via friends and swap meet finds back in the day. After Cousin Eddie scattered the original 409 block in the mid 60's it ended up with a wheezer 283 between the frame rails and that was still in it when we got it in 1979.

My first car bought in 1972. It was a white car but I had it painted blue around 75.
Put a 1970 Chevelle 396/350 engine in it with 4:46 Zoom gears. It ran real good. Sold it around 79 less engine n trans for 800 bucks.

I'm almost sure I've posted these before but here they are again. 1990's. My first car. Purchased from an 89yr old lady. She was the 2nd owner and wrecked it in 1978. I purchased the car for $400 and my father helped me "restore" the car. Since I wasn't but 14 I still couldn't drive it. My folks put it in the Lebanon Christmas Parade the first year after doing all the body work and paint. Originally a 307/PG with 2.73 gears it was well uhhh... Turd. When I turned 17 and after driving it for a year and saving up the dough I bought and built a mild 350 280H Comp Cam, Edelbrock Performer & Holley carb with a set of Hooker long tubes mated to a M20 transmission. Out back the 10 bolt single leaf diff was swapped out with a 5 leaf BU 12 bolt with 3.55 gears. Burnout was the first and last the 307 could muster with the aid of the 3.55 12. Once the 307 was plucked the new engine & trans were bolted in. Back then a 17yr old could still work a part time job and be able to buy cool shit.

All our cars.
All Mopar's are factory 426 Hemi cars,
Buying them was cheap early and mid 80's.

69 Corvette was 350 4spd and had a damaged lf fender. New one lying on car. Learned to call them "itchmobiles" with that and the green 71.


wedding pics are Anns sister summer 81. I have been chauffer in many weddings.

Used the Mustang in my oldest niece's wedding. She did not care for the tire smoke leaving church for the drive around bit.

Me pushing the mustang hard in corners at raceway park was probably not smart. Look how far the right front is down and lr is up.
Those are it's factory installed tires.
Pic from 1989.
Lawyer in Walnut Creek CA bought it new and parked it in 1971.
Inside under a cover so it was still shiny.


Hood pic and pic of [ Ann, sister Jane and me with very dirty hands last post] are the only pics of the 68 ht she drove 1979- 1983. 396 was sick so it had a low mile 73 pickup 454 shortblock with the 68 heads. Car was 5 different colors but could hold its own in a stoplight grand prix. Surprised plenty as it ran well. 780 holley and 66 intake helped also. 4 spd 3.31 car.

our 69 Berger COPO Camaro in 1971
 

Post US Army, pre August 1971 wedding. bought new on my 21st birthday 12/24/69, still own it.

Bill, you may recall Carl's '64 from Classic? (he scored it from Jim L. in C'dale) ...

misc pics
 

Last batch from her album. lucky for you folks i did not find mine.
beating on the 66 sedan a bit. Factory 7.75x14 goodyear blue streaks were a joke.
lapping it hard [look at the dive and understeer] at elko speedway 1n 1987. set of f70x15 Polyglas redlines off the 68 charger on it. still pushed bad.

67 rt opening day trout fishing in wi 1988. interior of it. car had 6,600 miles on it. badly broken motor in 1968 they never fixed.


last pic of a goon after winning the 50 lap special invitational at raceway park. summer 91. car was a 68 biscayne squad car. 396 but you could not use big blocks so a 350 instead. car was clean rust wise but rough dent wise and had both upper control arms- 12 bolt and disc brakes.

I'd love that '64 Corvette today, the flares look great and the wheels are killer.

I've posted these before, but it's worth another look. This happened to a friends new fuelie '63 Corvette when it was brought in for warranty work at about three weeks old. A dealership employee rolled the car three times. The dealer ordered the owner a new Corvette immediately. This was in Davis, CA.

Daytona Blue?

Here’s a couple of pictures I was able to get from old owners of my AMC’s. Both my SC Rambler and SC360.

The pictures of the SC Rambler are from 1987ish. The owner named Brian was taking the car to the last car show at the now demolished NY Coliseum. The car was sold soon after and ended up sitting under a bunch of trees on Long Island for about 25 years after. Then sitting for another 12-13 years in Central NJ.

The SC360 photo is from about 1981 when Henry(the owner) almost finished putting the car together after buying it as a basket case at 13 years old in 1977.

The Orange 440+6 Cuda belongs to a gentleman I’ll call a friend. The picture is his dad in the 70’s at Englishtown.

Just registered on your site but have used various posts for reference for some time now.

I thought I'd post a photo of this 70 Challenger I bought locally several years ago. I managed to find the original owner and he sent me this photo when his car was new. I asked him why he didn't get a Hemi and he said, "we lived in Texas at the time and my wife said, no air conditioning, no new car". Couldn't get AC with the Hemi.

pics are kinda muddy! '64 409 Impala - '67 'Vette (here w/buddy's straight-axle big block '55) ...

Daytona Blue, I have the window sticker in my files for the first one and second one the dealer ordered. They're about 6,000 cars apart.

Adjusted photo.

Is it an illusion or were the rally wheels painted gold?

Couple more of my hugger orange yenko 72-74
 

Two more.

69 Berger COPO
 

Yes the wheels were painted gold, then copper, then white. no extra $$ for cool wheels, so we did the day 2 thing with a spray can. Also had Kelly Springfield G60's on the back, couldn't afford the Goodyears. The car was dressed like this in the Day 2 display at MCACN years ago with the traction bars, and homemade smog headers.
Thanks for blowing up the picture..
