I would have to say my old SS/JA Volare (I think gordie still has), at the time, it was deadly consistant however, the driver sucked (me), once I figured all this out, it was too late.

After, I'd have to say driving Rod's '70 Dart and '72 Demon with stick really sold me. Miss shifting gears.....

1967 Dodge R/T 2 door hardtop Red, Black interior and Black vinyl top, Torqueflite, 3.55 Sure Grip axle. I was big into street racing in those days while going to college. Switched in 4.30 gears, Atlas Bucrons, recurved distributor, fattened up the carb and traded the air cleaner top for one that said 383 instead of 440. I made a lot of money with that car until everybody woke up that it was not a 383. Finished college, got drafted and said bye bye to the MOPAR.

It's a toss up between my 1969 Ford Cobra Torino, 428 CJ bucket seat formal roof, or my 1965 mustang that I bought from 2nd owner that had about 100 street miles on it in its whole life. I ran brackets with it in the early 80s, and sold it for about $2500 back then.

The Torino was sold to a friend of my brother's who still has it to this day.

Graduated high school in 1969 at 17 years of age. Bought my first new car, and paid cash! I worked all through high school at a Standard Oil Chevron station, and after graduation. Was also my only non-GM product. 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, with a Torqueflite, and 3.91 Sure Grip. Vitamin C orange(actually Dodge called it Go-Mango, my father said Go-Man-Go) with a blacked out hood, and twin hood scoops. Lifted up with Cragar S/S on the small 4" bolt pattern, Hooker headers, Edelbrock high rise, and 650 Holley DP, a Sun Super tach, and the mandatory 8 track tape player were all added. Then, at 19, I got an invitation to come play war with my uncle; damned draft. I was a fanatic about keeping the car clean, you could lierally eat off the engine and undercarriage. Let my folks trade it in on a new Buick for them while I was in basic training. To this day, that would be the car I'd most like to have back, and my girlfriend I had at the time (she's been married and divorced three times). Butch/56sedandelivery.

As a little kid, I dreamed of owning a 68 Camaro...my brother had one in high school when I was about 6 or 7 and that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. When I was 15, I spent $600 on my first car - 65 Chevy II 4 door. 194 one barrel, but some previous owner had swapped in a Saginaw 4 speed and a Hurst floor shifter. Fun car to drive to school, especially before any of my buddies could drive. (I lived 10 miles or so away, so I got a school permit.) Sold that car to a buddy who blew it up on the test drive, and bought the only 68 Camaro at my high school. That day a bunch of buddies piled in it, and we went to Missouri to buy fireworks and smuggled 'em back inside the doors. It was a rustbucket, but I always heard stories from older guys about wishing they had never sold theirs. So, in January of '90, as a senior in HS, I started dismantling it. 7 years later, it had quarters, floors, tail panel, rockers, hood, fenders, etc. and I had a mortgage, a wife, and 2 kids. Still have it, and will never sell it.

My Senior year in High School, with about 2 months left, before graduation(1987), i bought my 2nd '60 Pontiac 2 door post Catalina...had 27,000 original miles on it,,, 389/215hp 2bbl. It was white. I put some 5/16'' poli-locks on it, holley pump on the engine, opened the single exhaust dump...with 2.69 road gears in it, 205 radials on back, 1'' horseshoe spacers in front springs and tall front tires, it went 16.30s/85mph. I won street class with it, that Fall and a few other trophies. I had it until Fall 1990... i had swapped another 389 in it , for awhile(THanks Dad).. had 093 Tripower heads and a 4bbl cast intake...3.90 gears and Grandma cam(hehehe) and went 14.90s ... still through manifolds and single dump. Put original engine back in and sold it... Nice car...shoulda never sold that one!!!
