Graduated in 76. I had this Camaro, a 66 Nova beater, and a 70 Honda CB 350 all through high school.

1953 Packard Clipper, straight 8, around 289 CI I think. We could fit 4 people in the trunk for the drive-in movies.

First car at 14 yrs old 69 Firebird Conv that I have disassembled had dipped and E coated getting her ready for a LS, 6 speed and complete ridetech suspension.

When I was 16 and working at the local HD shop after school bought a 1977 HD Superglide but unfortunately sold it.

I had 2 modes of transportation as well..... a yellow International with black stripes and Reebok.

It's funny how getting caught at 14 yrs old riding a Yamaha YZ 125 on public roads makes a Judge feel that you should wait until you are 18 before you get to drive legally. It seems the evasion part is what put it over the top.....and the weed.....and the property destruction......the spitting......biting....

Then my Dad sold my Vega project to make a payment on the fines. He probably did me a favor. I swear when sitting in that car with my hooligan friends, partaking in the hemp and some stolen alcoholic beverages, you could hear it rusting.

Here was the first paint job I did on the current car I have now in 1983!

In collage I changed it to this, which is still on the car now!

I also had this to run around with in the summer

In collage, I restored this to pay for my tuition

When I turned 16 my dad helped me buy a 1973 Vega that was in 1981

Originally baby blue, after an incident in the snow it needed new paint, midnight blue metallic I guess acrylic single stage no clear coat back then. Painted at a friends shop in his backyard.

When I turned 16 my parent handed me the keys to my moms old car, a 67 Camaro. They had purchased it new in 67. I drove the car all thru high school, and JC. Still drive it today, 30 years later.
