I'll have to dig the list out sometime.  Most were just cheap to buy with some coolness, for a daily driver.  First car 1960 Caddy for $100.  Man if I had them all today....

Had one that was semi restored. Looked just like this one. 383 4 barrel 3" dual exhaust. Oh mannnnnnnnn..............after having couple kids i couldn't afford fixing and restoring so it had to go. :'( I will own 1 again very soon. :tup:

Oh my!!  Had a buddy that parked one of those inside a pickers shack one night, dropped the shack roof on top of it.  :bdid:   Then called me to fix the damage on the building.  :yike:

 :yike: :yike: forget the building I would've leveled and burned that "B!+@#" for ruining my car. :chuckle:

He did a good job on the leveling.  :o  There wasn't a wall left standing.     :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I sold a beautiful 1967 Camaro, 383 stroker, 4spd, 411's for this baby, The Camaro was fun but it seems everybody has one, and she passed everything but a gas station, We have owned this 76 Bronco for 3 years now and have driven it Twice as much as we drove the Camaro in half the time....

 I think @M_ray had a 66 Challenger when we were in high school.

Maybe a Charger?   First year for the Challenger was 1970

 Not a Dodge guy so you are likely right. It looked like the one in plats post except it was white.

Yes you are right, My first car was a white 67 Dodge Charger. Sad that I don’t still have it as I planned to. I bought that car from my parents for 100$ a month for a year which was a bundle for a 16 year old in 79. I traded it back to my dad when I was in college during the gas shortages cause I couldn’t afford the 6 miles to a gallon I was getting. I had told him NOT under any circumstances sell that car!!! He got tired of seeing it around and sold it in 88-89 for 1500. The shame is that in 1966 they made 30,000 and in 67 they made only 3500 in the first quarter of the year and halted production, so the 67 fully restored is very difficult to replace

Here’s a couple. Chevrolet has a 502, its the wife’s grocery getter. :chuckle:
The Buick was my dad’s.
I have a big block 68 Camaro RS/SS too but don’t have photos of that on my phone.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Rick, when you and your wife are ready, I'll take the Chevelle off your hands.

I almost bought that Nova that was in the classifieds because it matched the chevelle so well.  I really should drive these but just don't so I couldn't convince myself to buy the Nova.

That was a nice car, but only a six!  All the Chevy muscle cars from the 60s to 72 are pretty high dollar these days!

I sure could have used that in my old nova. After the 67 Caddy coup, my uncle thought I needed less horsepower, hence the six. He allowed me to buy my 69 "fast back" mustang while he was in Alaska because I told him it only had a "little" 302  HA,HA,HA. That one still cracks me up. Got me in a lot of trouble and a special license, but man what a car. Then came the 72 Pinto with a "little" 4 banger. Am 2bbl, headers along with some other slight engine modifications. Was dropped a bit in the front, had big ol fattys in the rear and little skinneys up front. Had a 72 1/2 cab Bronco, a 1950 ford pu that was tricked out and lowered a bit. I wish I could have kept them all. Well, maybe not the pinto  :chuckle:
