57 Plymouth Fury, Dad took the dual 4s off of it before turning it over to me. I found the guy he sold them to and got them back. 
I smoked that air cooled torqeflite a couple times, pretty easily. Power braking it would fry it almost immediately.

Imagine 1983.I was into brand F at the time,picked up a lime green 69 Cougar,351w,2 barrel and all.It came with the cheesy J.C.Whitney fake wire hubcaps.I gave shotgun to who was willing to chase hubcaps on Friday night racing.I spent more money on hubcaps than speed parts.Lol!

It was B5 Blue with a white top and blue interior had a 383 magnum that was tweeked and Appliance Crager look a likes shift kit it trans,accel coil 750 double pumper speed pro rings nice cam and I loved that car until my 70 Cuda came along!
The car was FAST for a 15 yr old and I remember pushing it out of the driveway late at night with my buddy.
Small beach town and 2 of my friends were sons of local law enforcement so I got the eyeball a lot and they knew my car as the beast.
It could hold 5 teen agers and a pony keg man times were different back then!
memories....I am glad I lived thru it

71 tan duster 318 3spd.... love at first sight.
1970 Challenger 340 4speed, 8 3/4 323. plum crazy. Paid $400.00 bucks all it needed was a clutch so about $150.00 later I was burning up the streets. This was 1980 and the car was perfect just some slightly faded paint not bad. I'm not sure who had it best you guys who bought them new from the showrooms or us who got them on the cheep in great condition.

My first car is a 73 Dart Sport i got for $1400. Bought it on Dec. 31 2010. The guy I bought it from turned out to be an a**hole. When we got home we checked compression 1-5 Ok #6 nothing. Then the engine seized up. When we opened it up the slant spun a bearing. But at some point the engine broke a rod. So the guy shaved it down and left the piston in the cylinder and took the metal ends off the plug wire. But the part that pissed me off the most is that the guy sold the car to me and knowing the engine was crap. Plus I was only 13 when I bought it and I gave him my all money from working to the guy.
But I love my dart and glad I bought it.

First car was a '68 Plymouth Satellite with a 400 and 727 reverse manual three on the tree. Got it two days before my license when I was 16. Ended up apprenticing at M&M Racing and stroked that baby to 451 complete build, swapped the rear to 8 3/4 with 742 casing and runnin' 3.91, away I went. Craziest thing a fresh 16 year old could be driving, got me into a lot of trouble. Worth it Hell Yes!
My first car is a 1954 Pontiac Chieftain 2dr. sedan that I still have. But my second car was a 1966 coronet 440 convertible that I never should have sold. And my third car was a 1969 charger that I really shouldn't have sold! Dozens of boring vehicles in between and now my 1972 Swinger is almost road worthy.

My first car was a 75 or 76 Pinto wagon.. Silver with RED interior, 6 cylinder with floor shift automatic... I remember having to have a rag or t-shirt in the car during the summer, as the all chrome shifter would get HOT as hell... lmao.. Im no Ford lover by any stretch of the imagination.. but I had a lot of fun in that car (so did my girlfriend at the time LOL) ...
