What was your first car????

[beater68427]

I will ad my second love, I really liked this one, the Challenger was lost due to me moving out of my dads house and with my mom, (nothing like using a tool on your kid) I tried to buy my Challenger back from the guy who had purchased it, when I pulled into his driveway it was about 4 feet shorter than it use to be, seems he was Drag racing on Topeka Blvd and a car pulled out in front of him. So I found this

1972 orange/black 442 with an automatic, bucket seats and orange SSII wheels. This was in 1972 and I shared the car with my mom. When I left for college, I ended up with the car my sophomore year. Of course, I put cherry bomb mufflers on it.

1972 Nova bought in 1978...originally a 6 banger and powerglide. Went the 402 big block and Turbo trans route...sold it to the kid across the street who the first day he had it...almost wrapped it around a pole in front of the high school.

The emblems and SS rear panel came from Eddie Hopper and Cone Chevrolet's parts inventory. I had to look long and hard to find the rear panel.

The 12 bolt rear came from a 1969 Z28 that was one of my mechanic friends when I worked at Hardin Olds...whose son DID wrap the fathom green Z28 around a pole


Pictures were taken at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals West (at the same show as Nova Joe's way cool Nova was at. Notice the Street Machine Nationals West sticker on the wing vent). 'My car' wanted to be 'his car' when it grew up!

Now THAT'S a surprise!

1981 Custom Deluxe C-10 truck. 305 auto. It was a very nice truck, and I sold it at 17 to get the 99 Camaro SS in my sig. I see my truck from time to time. It has been rolled over on its side, vent windows knocked out, door mirrors ripped off, the 305 was grenaded, the rallyes that were on it were sold, and all of the AC vents and speakers were cut out of the dash with a sawzall!!! I was like why????

My wife and I bought a 69 RS/Z-28 Hugger orange with Black Houndstooth for 1800.00. She drove it to work every day and I would street race it on weekends and tear the hell out of it. Sold it 2 years later for 2000.00 and thought that was easy I am going to do this some more. And so the journey started or a nightmare as she likes to call it.

1972 Buick Skylark, 350 4 barrel, Gold/black vinyl top. Parents bought it new and I acquired it in high school. So many memories.
