My dad had one of these when I was 7 or 8, a brown '76. We called it the "Crapi". Then he bought a brand new '82 Capri (same platform as the Mustang)...dark blue with white interior. My first ride was a blue/blue '79 with the horrible German V6. Lord I loved that thing...here's a pic of the last Capri I owned.

The car I drove the most as a 17 year old was the 1974 GTO, Bucaneer Red with matching interior, rubber mat (not fancy carpet here), floor shift auto on the floor and a 12" steering wheel, she had a warmed over 350, Holley high-rise intake and 4bbl carb and a shift kit. Mine never looked this good, but here is a good shot of a stock appearing car.

I don't care if I get laughed at anymore.

I was flipping cars by the age of 18 so I couldn't pass on this 67 Caddy Vert for $500.00 ! Everyone made fun of me until they saw me turn the rear tire into a gob of melted rubber with a spark throwing steel belt. I think that alcohol may have been involved.

Pulled over on a snowy New Years Eve , the officer told the rear passengers to "get off the balcony". The car could hold 9 0r 10 with the top down.

I have the GM build sheets for all 6 1988 1LE f bodies ...

assuming it is a 305 (They didn't allow auto trans cars back then I recall), I will have to say that it was delivered to Sutliff Chevrolet in Harrisburg PA because the other 3 Camaros were L98's, and my friend Mike Marsh bought the black L98 the was delivered to Stewart Chevrolet in Colma CA ... the two Pontiacs WERE LB9's

actually I thought SCCA banned the 1LE, maybe they were legal for 1988, but they were not for 89 and later ... I owned Brian Simos black 89 No Fear IROC that Boris Said drove at the 89 Runoffs ...

back to the thread, my 1st car was a 1928 Ford Model A leatherback ... I got it when I was 14 ... it was 39 years old at the time

1st car with balls was a 63 LeMans with the 326 HO ...

Mine was handed down to me from my father. A Hemi Orange 1971 Challenger R/T 383 Magnum Slap Stick with the orange plaid and black interior. Some kind of one-leg freeway gear in the rear. Wide chrome molding around the front grill. Street raced the crap out of it and beat all my friends. My father later took it back and traded it in on a brand new 1978 Z/28. I then bought a used 1966 Buick Skylark with the 340ci.
