Kinda sad Del. I get it’s an investment but it should be enjoyed.
November 13, 2013 at 7:37 pm #1363850My 1st car was a white 1963 Buick Le Sabre. The 1st car I loved was a 1967 Ford Mustang. Copper colored exterior, put white fake fur in the interior. I’d give my left testicle to have that car now.

68 Cougar XR7 289 with 4 speed. Took the FW on our first date in that car.Love those old muscle car days. Most any 67-70 car was pretty cool.
Street racing was fun, maybe not smart but fun, until you get caught. Lost my license for 6 months but I was beating the GTO!November 13, 2013 at 8:38 pm #1363886Quote:

Wish we would have had the foresight to stash those cars away. Sure would be nice to break em out for a Saturday afternoon cruise. My goal is to buy one in the next three years.

November 14, 2013 at 6:50 am #1363937My first car was a 1957 Chevy 2 door hardtop. It came with a grocery getter 283 2 barrel and it wasen’t long befor it was bored 60 over with 12 too 1 J.E. pistons and a .098 cam. Heads were planed .020 too with 202 heads with Hooker headers and a 650 AFB carburator. Had a Muncie 4 speed tranny with ford 390 posi street gears with rebuilt high strength steel drive shaft. What was nice is that you could adjust the posi weights in the rear end to grab quickly, to reduce the dely time, so the rearend clutches would grab quicker but a bitc- when going around corners because there was so little play in the clutches that they would almost constantly be grabbing. With Micky Thompsom 10″ slicks and an estimated 375 horse I could make the smoke roll in the back seat and wheel wells. It ran good until a kid stold it and wrapped it around a telephone pole while I was at high school, painted Aztec bronze. I originally bought it for $250 bucks and 98 0ctane gas was 20 cents a gallon in high school, worked for .90 cents an hour making hamburgers and frenchfries to buy it. It wasen’t uncommon to get 450 horse out of any small block back in those days. They ran so hard that you could put a $100 bill on the dash and the passenger couldn’t lean forward to take it off the dash, other wise they could keep it. All that performance at 17 and 18 years old, what a rush, we knew how to drive too back in those days. The cars that really ran hard were the 426 Hemi Barracuda’s, 389 GTO.S and just about any rebuilt smallblocks. All the factory performance cars would smoke the tires. Most high performance cars ran so hard that when you would normally press on the gas pedal like you would in a normal car, it would throw you back in the seat and pull your foot off the gas pedal, until you learned how to step on the gas pedal lightly you couldn’t drive them. The highschool I went too was like a drag strip when we got out of school for the day.
