Re: What was your daily driver in the mid 1960's
 

In June 1965 I bought my first car, a '59 Ford Galaxie 292 3-speed. I soon added a 4-bl, dual exhaust with cutouts, and traction bars. In Jan 1966 I traded it on a '63 Galaxie 500 boxtop with a 406. The 406 later got replaced with a 427 LR. As my daily driver that '63 Galaxie saw lots of street racing and passes down a dragstrip.

Wow! A lot of great cars and a great time for factory hot rods.-----What a great sense of humor you guys have, some of the posts were hillarous. Terry----- Our next big number is 70 . Where did it go? Most of the guys you mentioned are gone , I do see Gene Calhoun ocasionally and Rocky Martin's son Ricky is a painter here. Thanks again to all who have served and are serving to preserve our taken for granted way of life. And to my grandson Danny, a brand new Marine ( Semper Fi )-------Danny

I was in the Army in '66 and bought a new Belair two door sedan, 283, 3 speed. It was Burgandy with Red interior and I immediately put a set of Fenton spoke wheels on it. I later made a stocker out of it and set the O/S record at the '71 Gainesville Divisional at 13.45 or so. The problem was I didn't know until I got my ND a couple of weeks later that Bruce Wilkerson also lowered the record on the same day at Bowling Green and was a couple hundreds faster than me so my "record" never hit ND.

Danny -

I bet you wish you'd kept the Amphicar! Did you see what they're getting at Barrett-Jackson? Not quite Hemi-cuda money :eek:, but close!

BTW - good luck on Sunday!

I wasn't driving yet in 1966. As a matter of fact I was still in grade school.
But, my 65 Mustang was a year old and being driven daily by it's original owner, my older brother.
I had the privlige of washing and waxing it every Saturday.

In 66 it was a 53 studebaker with a cross ram 413 that I built or a 32 chevy coupe with a 322 buick and a 4spd. Still messing with 53 studes (2) and 30s coupes.
