Do You Remember Your First....

I do, I was 16 years old.. Don't have a photo of the show but have a picture of my old 69 Nova.. What a beast that car was.. It was rough but very fast.. I acquired the car when I was 15. My Uncle and I rebuilt a 327 for it.. It had stock heads, Blackjack headers with SONIC TURBO mufflers (remember those??) turned down at the rear axle, mild Edelbrock performer cam, stock compression 9 1/2 to 1, Edelbrock dual plane high rise intake w/Holley 600.. Turbo 350 w/B&M shift kit (that would break the tires loose from 1st to 2nd gear shift) & 411 gears.. What really made the car scoot was the power shot 125 hp nitrous kit I added in high school... The car would smoke the tires all the way thru 3rd gear... I've said it before, I'm lucky that car was not my casket for all the stupid street racing I did in that thing and how "squirrely" it got... Great teenage/high school memories though!! Went on my first date in that car also.... I parted the car out some years back but still have the motor on an engine stand in my garage...
