1987 Nissan 200sx SE & I still have it but it's not running... I want to get it running again & learn how to drift in it MAYBE someday soon I'll have the money to pour into it
A 1986 Nissan Pathfinder that was very high mileage and in sad shape when i bought it at age 16. With my uncle's help I slowly rebuilt and restored it until it was in pristine condition.
A 1970 Ford Torino. Dark Blue paint with a black vinyl top. To make it a bit hotter in the summer a black interior. It had the 351ci. engine with a bit of work we did to it.
That car could get up and go. Wish I still had it.
My first car was a 1969 Ford Mustang. I bought it from a lady on my street in 1986 for $400. It was her husbands and was in her garage for years after he died. It looked good but really ran badly. But my BF and his brother, who was a mechanic, fixed it up for me and it was awesome after the finished. Loved that car, wish I had it today. It looked just like this one, same color and even had the same black thingys ( a technical term, LOL) on the hood and trunk.
A 1972 Datsun pickup. It was pale yellow. I was boarding with a couple while I was going to college. I was so proud of my new toy. When I showed it to Mark (the "man" of the house") he said "Hard to believe that anyone would sit in a showroom and dream of owning this"
He didn't mean it the way it sounded, but it sure took the wind out of my sails.
A 1966 Plymouth Fury III. Four doors, no AC and a 318 A engine with a two-barrell, which was still quicker then a lot of late seventies smog-controlled "muscle" cars.
I had one almost just like it, except mine was a green 70 Z-28 RS
After I blew up the 350, I stuck a hopped up 500 Cadillac in it (My buddy's dad knew a guy who raced Cadillac-powered stock cars and he helped me build the engine)
People laughed, but not for long ......
67 GTO convertible
Used to call it "The Beast"
Had a 421 tri-power that sounded like a Harley at a stop light, and it would pass anything but a gas station
Paid $700 for it in '71 and sold it for $18k in '96
1961 red "turtleback" Volvo PV544. The only tools I I needed to maintain that car were 1 large & 1 medium flat head screwdriver, a #2 phillips screwdriver, a crescent wrench, a vise grip wrench and an oil filter wrench. Could go places only dirt bikes, Jeeps, and horses went!
MAYBE someday soon I'll have the money to pour into it
1972 Gremlin, man it was a chick magnet!!!
Gasoline was only $.55 a gallon back then!
