First car 55 Chev 2 door. paid $200 for it at age 14. about $150 too much back then, put it together, back when you could buy decent fenders for $30-40! 327 and Vega stall convertor-the car would have to rev up to 2000 before it even would move! All my buddies got into Camaros so i sold it for $1500 and bought a Clean white '73, but that's another story.

Man I'm starting to sound like my dad-Chris

My first car was a father-son project, a 1966 Chevelle convertible. We did a body off "resto" on it. Dropped an LS-6 454 and a M-20 4-speed in it. It was red with a red and white custom interior. After it wiped a cam we put a roller in it, ran 12.03s quite often. I got two or three 12.01s on afternoon, kept trying for a 11.99 but just couldn't get it.

Sold it to buy a 1961 Impala 2dht, dropped a roller cammed, bored & stroked (482) 409 with 2-4s in it. Nice and fast, but I just couldn't keep the '09 together. I sold it to start my current project... 13 years ago!

85 Monte Carlo with a 4.3 and 50K miles when I was 15 back in 93. It was a trade in at my dad's dealership. Bought it for $1300, painted it, added some AR rims a sunroof and an SS wing and sold it in 98 for $4150...cha-ching! That was a beautiful car....maroon with a white top and spotless maroon interior.
