Steve,

I realize that you lost an hour last night, but what else do you have to do?:sleep: You are retired and we all know that retirees don't do anything.:O::doh:

'65 Dodge Dart

1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser - Pink & White in color (seriously!) - 312 CID engine with a push button tranny and a mercury speedometer!!!

65 Ford Mustang, no floor boards, quarter pannels transmission. Dad got me a tranny. I did the rough body work, floor, Got it running and proceeded to wreck it four times (ONly once my fault) Made a lot of money off that car. Somebody bought after it sat behind the garage for a couple years.

:O: Jake, I'd not read through this thread yet. Glad I finally did so. :thumb

That may be Marv in front.

My first car was a '52 Chevy, dull green in color with 3 on the tree. No power steering or power brakes, of course. Used a quart of oil a week, but then bulk oil was 10 cents a quart in those days.

Those days were in 1967, BTW. Even then that was an older model.

1973 Ford Mustang Mach1, 351 Cleveland,4 bbl. holley,hooker headers,9inch locker rear end c-6 tranny. Bought it with paper route money when I was 13.Knew every inch of that car by the time I turned 16. Probably put 2000 miles on it backing it in and out of dads garage before I turned 16,still miss that car 30 years later..

sorry didn't make it! Went to manzy! Now in fla. Having lunch with rollie beale monday! In leesburg! Mar 9th!

YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT ONE OF OSKIE VW'S HE HAD 3 AT ONE TIME!!!!!!!!!! HE WANTED REAR ENGINE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!:checkered:

1970 Chevelle SS LS-5 454, 4-speed, 4.11 posi, cowl induction

Bought it from my brother for $2,200 when I was 14, crashed it in the snow coming home from school when I was 15, and heard my sister-in-law say "I told you so" to my brother.

My mom blamed my dad for not putting snow tires on it - but he and I both knew better.

Would never let my teenage son drive something like that. His sprint car can be very easily replaced.

Damn it. I was stupid.
