1977 camaro my dad bought when I was 13 in hope that I would quit getting suspended from school for fighting from school. I still have the car today

<font color="blue">My first car in 1976 was a 1971 Dodge Charger R/T 440.
My dad would not lend me the extra $$$ to buy a 1967 Camaro SS 427 / 4 speed (street race car)so this was all I could afford.




The ad said 71 charger - custom carburator - excellent condition - $1400 firm.
The custom carb turned out to be a chrome air cleaner.

I went and looked at it &amp; told the guy I would take real good care of it but all I have is $1100. He liked me &amp; said OK.
What a great car. 13.99 at the track just like I bought it &amp; I drove it everywhere/everyday.</font>

Well my second muscle car was a 1969 RS/Z28 hugger orange black stripes and vinyl top. I purchased the car in 1979/80 in Franklinville, NJ. All was going well on my way home to a suburb of Philly until I decided to get on it in my home town. Well I attracted attention, unfortunately I was pulled over and given several summons (noise , no registration excessive speed) geez give a kid a break. I was a block away from the tag store for registration. I kept the car until the spring of 1983, when I was married and needed funds to buy our first home.


Stay tuned......

1976 Datsun B210. More rust than metal. Bought it from my uncle for $100. Would backfire every time you wound it out a bit. Oh, the seat would also spontaneously recline!! That was fun.... got to learn about engine work with hat one... thank you Chiltons!!

2nd car.... 1970 Camaro SS Silver black soft top 4 speed... with the most powerful 305 on earth... no idea what that engine was but it went like a bat out of hell!! That sucker would do the best burnouts going a bit sideways down the road. Loved it!! 2nd engine in the car LT1.... nice.....

Sold it in 90... regret it to this day... the guy I sold it to sold it to a guy in Sweden.... never see that one again...

I love this thread since it brings back the memories. My first car was a 1977 Camaro LT, gold metalic exterior with tan cloth interior and auto. Like some others I bought it from an auto mechanic. Wrecked the car to the point of being close to totaled and Dad made the insurance company total it to teach me a lesson. Saw the car later repaired and another teenager driving it and he eventually really killed it by running into the back of a semi-trailer.

Next 2 cars were 1974 Nova Customs, 2 doors with 350 an automatics.

1st "real car" was a 59 Chevy BelAir coupe, an old folks (neighbors) one owner virgin that was driven from CA to the Detroit area in 1970 or so. Quite the "ride" for the time

Quickly traded up to a 63 Thunderbird Sports Roadster (a real one) to finish high school with

Well in my last post I said stay tuned.... well after 24 years of persistence my second and favorite muscle car is coming home. I received a call on 10/14 of this year a day before my mother passed stating the owner was finally prepared to sell. It certainly was a bitter sweet moment, but the great pumkin is on her way home. She still has her orig drive train and loaded with options. Sammy will be proud .. the car will be day 2 just like the way I originally had her. Its been a long journey and I'm glad she is home. Stay tuned for the journey ahead.
