Default Re: First muscle car,year bought

First muscle car was a 67 427/390 hp corvette coupe in 1985.
Right hand Drive!!!!. Never owned a V8 before, but that was a life changing experience. Could not sleep properly for weeks.
Since then bought a 69 427/435 (also RHD)
An A-prod L-88 Vette (everyone should get to drive one of these at least once) and a local LS7 drag special.
As goes the quote from Two Lane Blacktop ...."you can never go fast enough"

1998 Z/28 Camaro w/ straight exhaust and glass pack! I'm blown away that I haven't gotten any tickets for noise violations yet! I'm only 17, so I haven't had the chance to drive/own any other muscle cars other than my Dad's 2000 SS Ragtop and my Uncle's 2001 Formula Firebird. While cruising around today, I met an older gentleman who was driving a dark blue 1968 SS Ragtop. I followed him home so I could ask him some questions, and he had a Corvair and a 1965 Corvette 4 spd in his garage in addition to the Camaro!! Cool experience b/c I've never seen the cars before, but the guy lives right down the road from me. Dan

My first car was a 1970 1/2 Z28. Forrest green automatic, matching numbers. I should have kept that car. I love the sound of those solid lifters. Those early LT-1 engines were rock solid and could hang with many larger cube cars, I never lost a race in that car.

Ray and I grew up in the same era. My first car was a 283 automatic Beaumont. Realized after about 20 minutes that this was NOT what I wanted. I eventually traded it for a 396-360 HP Beaumont 4 speed car. The following year I bought a '68 Ram Air automatic Firebird that was blueprinted with headers added and the Royal Pontiac Bobcat treatment. A pretty lively car to say the least. In '69 I bought the COPO Chevelle which we might eventually get restored. Might even surprise Ray at one of the shows some day. We have a nearly identical '69 L78 Chevelle that will have to do for now.
