This is my first car. I got it in 1981. This is how it looked then.





This is how it looks now. I still own it.

I really like your 70 quite a bit I have checked it many times on here, even cooler it has a history to it, and it works quite well with what you have done

Keith's car is very cool. My first car was a 65 Mustang, 289 and 4 speed. Lots of good memories, and it really seemed fast to me.


Ah, the good old days!

'69 Chevelle SS396... I bought it for $1000 when I was 12, in 1994 with no engine. I've still never driven it. I've had about 3 different engines I planned on putting in it so far, but haven't done any work on it, as I've been pre-occupied with the '69 Malibu I bought when I was 15.

I hate when people ask me this question. Not because it's a bad question, but because it pisses me off every time I think about it. My dad was helping me look for a car in early 1981. One car that we test drove was a 1976 Camaro with a 350 (priced at $3,200). The car was in like new condition, and was a total blast to drive (especially for a 17 year old). My dad talked me out of it on the premise that gas was going to cost $1.50 a gallon by 1982. I am not sure where he got that crap from. Anyway, I caved and bought a POS Buick Skyhawk with a V6 in it(also priced at $3,200). What's worse is that a guy I knew at school ended up buying the Camaro and driving it in front of me evry day. That is until he wrecked the sh*t out of it eight months later...

This was my first car. My dad and I built it as a father/son project and I still own it today. I am currently in the middle of converting it to a mild pro-touring car.
