Here is my 71 Nova. I got it 2 weeks before my 16th birthday. It was a 29,000 1 owner car with a 307 and a Powerglide. This is October 1991.
And here it is again, 2 years later. This is the summer before my senior year in high school, July 1993. Other than the color changes and change to a black interior the car is still stock Here it is mid 2000's. The 307 was replaced with a 406 and the Powerglide was swapped for a TH-350. The original 3.08 gears were replaced with 4:10's. The body, paint and interior are still holding up pretty good And here is where it still sits today. This is a 2009 LY6 6.0 backed by a 4L80. |

My first car in '71 was a '68 Z/28 I had it for 2 years. I bought it for $1800.00 and sold it for $1800.00 2 years later to buy a '56 Nomad.
No good pix of either one, Just blurry 110 Instamatic stuff |

My first driver was a 1966 Chevelle Malibu 4 door sedan. I bought it out of the local paper for $300 in 2000. Stored indoors its whole life after getting hit on the right front in 1973. I fixed it but kept the fixed areas in grey primer. It had a 1969 250" six and a glide with 3.36 gears. Timing gears broke so I swapped in a 283. Also installed front WS6 sway bar and F40 rear sway bar and a power brake booster and some Rally wheels. Absolutely the most reliable car I have ever owned. Car is on the far right in the photo. Sold it my first year of college (2003) to a local guy and he still owns it.

My other "1st car" was my 1967 Chevelle that I still own today. Raced on and off its whole life. I got it with a 305 and a powerglide stuck in it but not hooked up. Bought in 1997 out of Chester Pa. I put a hot 350 in it with a 4 speed and 4.10 12 bolt. Went 13.0 @ 102 at Atco raceway in 2001. Was one of the fastest cars in high school at the time. Attached are a few photos of it racing in Philly back in the day.
