70's/80's back in day cars

-
Here is a fun comparison! One of my first shows in 1986 (Kinston, NC), and my most recent shows where I took best Mopar (Crystal Coast Grand Prix Car Show, Morehead City, NC)

My first car, 1987. 72 Cuda 340 4 speed. I bought it out of a junkyard from a friend from school who's family owned the junkyard. Paid $600.00 for it! Check out the funky exhaust tips!

Here is the first car I had on the road. I think it was around 1978. That is my youngest brother checking it out. I paid $500 for it and on the way home; all the bolts in the trans fell out. :eek:ops::eek:ops:

Sure beats the junk cruising the streets today

Today I was watching a new Jag rear bumper bouncing up and down at every little bump on the road, nice cars used to cushions out the bumps, not yar you around, no wounder traffic moves so slow around town

Watch old movies, you see cool things that way
 
Now and then…

Kinda makes you wonder..... where are all of these cars today?
 
This was taken in 1974. It's a picture of my first Mopar, a 1970 Gran Coupe with a transplanted 340 and 4-speed from a 69 Swinger SS/ race car, 391 gears, fast car for a 16 year old.

I wish I could find my pictures, I literaly owned hundreds of cars in the 70's thru 90's and oddly enough only took pictures of a handful. If I can unearth them I will post what I have. I do have a couple of pictures of my 66 Belevedere 4 door with a 426 Hemi,automatic on the column with the little skinny MRT racing slicks on the back. My street sleeper(one of many)
 
These were all taken between 1976 and 1982
