54 Chevy 210, 235CI 6cyl, 3spd, dark blue/white top. No pictures.

Learned a lot in that car, some of it was even automotive related.

First car was a 67 Chevelle SS auto with a tired small block. After graduation, I switched to a 69 2 bolt 427, .060 11.75 TRW's, 858 squareports, L-88 cam, Edelebrock Torker, 780 Holley followed by a reverse valvebody TH400, 4.10s w/Moroso brute posi unit. I got serious into the street racing scene and broke alot of parts, but also won a little money. The car became a drain on the wallet as life got on so I sold it. Here 15 years later I'm trying to build another one, a little different though..

My first three cars, from age 17 to 18.
First came the 73 Capri 2600,circa fall 76


Sold that and got my 70RAIII T/A.(third and final owner) VN built and shipped to Prestige Pontiac-probably the shortest haul for any GM car carrier as it was only a mile down Van Nuys blvd from the plant to the dealer. Original Polar white black interior no center console M21. Photo circa 1978 on Mulholland Dr.


73 RSZ28, M21 L82. Built motor, full guldstrand suspension. This is the car i really started scaring myself on Mulholland with. Was pressing my luck with ditching cops and avoiding head on's, so Sold the T/A and Z and went to Jim Russell racing school. The "kid" I sold the T/A to totalled it a week after I sold it,the Camaro met the same fate with it's new owner about four months after. Photo spring of 78.


Far from my first car, probably around my six or seventh fbod. One of four built 1988 1LE Camaro's. Photo is 1990 runoffs Road Atlanta esses with Bob Strange and Fred Baker in tow.

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.
