Second car was a 81 El Camino

don't feel bad.. My dad helped me get a 71 beetle that I was restoring when my best friend was selling his 71 Super beetle rolling chassis, for 250 bucks.. So I bought it, and took the fresh 1600 I had just built for the other car and stuck it in this one. Drove this for about a yr and half got sick of VW and sold all 4 that i had acquired..lol. Now I have an itch for another one, this one will be late 50's early 60's Beetle.

Uhh, my first car, or first driveable car?

My first car is the 'Velle. Original 402/M20/Flame Orange/Bench Seat/True SS. I guess the purists might bash my skull in when they figure out what I'm planning to do to it..

My first *driveable* car, is my '01 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 V8. Not much of a performer, in comparison with P-T type cars. But I am planning a bunch of suspension upgrades & performance, to make it a little more power. Hopefully good enough to take to a few track days..

First car was a '71 Firebird, bought in '79 for $1800. Perfect in every way except the back seat was a little uncomfortable.

Totaled in '81.
