My Camaro. 1969 Camaro I bought for 2000 bucks when I was 14. I was so naive I still have notes where I guestimated it would only take 4 thousand to fix and I would have it on the road by 16.

And yes, this was 2001, so yes only 4000.

AH, high school.

On the way one morning, took a new street from the bus stop...

There it was with a FOR SALE sign; 1968 Chevy2. 1 owner(lady of course), straight six, glide blue on blue (Cant remember mileage but very low and no rust. Bought it that night (800$, and father fronted the cash).

Kept it and put ALL my cash in it for 3 years (Total show car, caged, 482" th 400 and tangerined monochromatic as it was the trend then) Then realised i had accumulated a debt i couldn't pay on it (as it was mostly built on credit- Major No-no!) with my appartment, Bike(GSXR-750) and my commuter modded VW Scirocco).

Sold the bike, the car, lost my girlfriend.....And learned that you need to stick to budget if you want to see the end of your project.

Now i know! And isn't knowing half the battle!?

The guy i sold it too had a speed shop. He got it for nothin (i really cried when the flatbed towing took it away) and sold it in pieces ( i had not even ever fired the 482 and had boxes and boxes of new parts still unwrapped) and sent the body to a scrapyard as it became so stripped at a point he tought it would be better that way!!!!YES!!!Scrapyard!!! I bought the shell back from them (Paint almost intact) 2 years later (it was sitting on a rack in the end of the yard, frameless) and most of the body parts from the Speed shop owner (what was left) Got it refreshed, small blocked and at least drove it for 1 summer. Then i sold it. I wanted to prove to myself i had done this car to the end....Glad i did.

Lead.

My 69 Camaro was my first car. This easter will make 21 years. My dad paid $1900 for it. I was 14 years old. The day I turned 16 I got my license and got into a street race with a older classmate who had a 68 Camaro. Back in high school it was its original color, Frost Green. Most of the hot girls back then did not the color. It ain't easy being green!

89 Dodge daytona, V6,5-speed, black over silver. That thing was awsome untill I blew it up racing an acura integra. We raced once and I beat him, He wanted to go again, and I heard a slight ticking coming from the motor, and said screw it.

So we raced again and I won again, put limped the car home. It was a fun car
