Bought a 71 nova 307/powerglide when I was 13. Tore the care apart, rebuilt a 350 and th350 in our barn, bought parts as my summer job would allow, painted it at my buddies farm and had a pretty nice car ready for my 16th birthday. Good times!
I got my license on Dec. 5. 1971 exactly 6 months to the day I turned 16. I had a 66 Chevelle SS ( I put more mile pushing it than driving. ) , I had the SS until April 19, 1972 when I found my first love 69 X33 Z/28 red with black stripes, console with gauges and dash tach and spoilers 16,000 miles for $2200 plus the Chevelle. I proceeded to abuse here for 2 years. until she left me.
Class of "73" Voted most likely to abuse a motor vehicle!
I still have the bill of sale for the Z/28
Btw, does anyone know how to do a photo on here with out photobucket from my iPad? Photobucket's Effed up right now, I can't load or transfer on this mobile pad??????
I had an 87 Camaro Sport Coupe with a 305. It ran great and I miss that car tremendously. I would buy it in a heartbeat today. I want to build a version of that car one day.
First purchase was a 54 Chev 5 window pick'em up, ended up selling it to go on Americruise with my brother. I drove a real nice mini camaro, you know a 72 Celica
I had so much fun in that thing, 20R with a 4spd and slotted mags...15.60 at HS drags.
What happened to the car after high school? Well, I still have it. The picture above was 1987. The picture below is 1997.
The kink below is the build thread. https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=36556
I paid cash for it when I bought it and it has not ever had a loan against it.
