In high school had a 69 chevelle ss 396/325 4 spd also 70 corvette 454 4 spd. Both good cars had a lot of fun with both still wish I keep them. But back then you always had to sell one to get money to buy and other.

May surprise my fellow Mopar enthusiasts and while my 69 Dart Swinger 340 is a close second I had a 67 SS396 (325) Chevelle that I simply loved. Still love the simple lines of the 67 Chevelle.

I had the first '63 stingray to hit the streets in SoCal. $4848.00 out the door. Got it in Oct of '62. Best time was 12.90 @ 106 which was quicker than the national record at that time. I got to race Gas Rhonda in the first Cobra to hit the track in early '63. I could not beat that cobra. Traded it in after a year for a '64 mopar. Wanted to go faster but couldn't afford to keep up with the factory guys.

Love to have the first car I owned when I was in High School.
'50 Olds 88 convertable with a built '57J2 engine in it,Hydro and 4.10's
Honduras Maroon red metallic with red leather trim and '57 Caddy Kelsey Hayes turbine wheels.
It was a car club car I bought from my Uncle. ...When you bought or sold the car ,you had to sell it to another member, I was the 34TH owner !
That car was fast enough to smoke a new Z28 on the street in '69. and kept up with all but a few of the stock muscle cars.
