Hello All :wave:

It is that time of year again.

What is new what is old ECT ECT ECT ...

So My new question is.. What was your 1st Race car or street car or both?

My 1st street car was a 1966 SS Impala that my Uncle bought new in 66 for his wife. I got it in 1975 at 16 years old. 327/300 Power Glide, Red with Black inertia, only thing I added was SS Cragars. Never raced it at the track.

1st Street Race car was a 67 SS Chevelle 396/375 4 spd car (factory 396/350 HP car) that I put a turbo 400 in almost as soon as I got it.
Ran 13.20 in like 78 or 79. In early 80 put a 454 LS6 in it and ran some 12.20. Only raced the car a few times at MIR.

Those were the days.
OK your turn !!!

As a side note, when I bought the 67 SS Chevelle. I borrowed $500 from my girl friend at the time. Instead of paying her back I married her. The cars has been gone since the mid 90s but she is still here 33 years later.
Maybe I should have paid her back!!! NAH its been a good 33 years, I think , but I could be wrong I have CRS disease. LOL
