57 International Pickup. 61 Ford F100. 67 Mustang coupe. (6 of them) 66 Mustang Fastback. 65 Mustang convertible. 66 Chev Impalla SS. 69 Camaro RS SS. 72 Camaro. 59 Cadilac Coupe Deville. 63 Cadilac Coupe Deville. 61 Cad convertible. 72 Dodge Demon. I still have a 63 Falcon. I miss the 79 Corvette. My 78 F150 converted to F250 rock crawlin machine was a brute.

Holy Crap Steve,
You really went through them.
Mine was a '69 Ford Fairlane. sold it for $300 wish I still had it.

PS. A friend of mine had the Dodge Demon. His Mom made him get rid of it a little to fast for her taste

I inherited the Demon and the Impala.  The Demon is one I regret trading away for paint and body work for one of the 67's, the most. (Yes, a premium laquer job with pearl in the top coats.  340 six pac, 3spd, dana 60 with 4.10:1 rear. I didn't know how rare it was. Stupid!

I bought some of the stangs, actually more of them, at auction and I parted them out. But referenced the ones I miss. The Cadi's were dad's over the years, but I drove them and had option on any of them to keep for my own.

I never sold anything for dirt cheap. Other than the Demon, I knew what I had and got at least market value for what-ever it was. The 65 Mustang convertible was one I completely restored in 1985. It ended up being my cash cow for the down payment on our first home in 1987.

I'm pretty jealous of you guys  by the time I was old enough to drive, people had already realized how much "classics" were worth! 
I would have killed for an old chevy or mustang.. instead I got stuck driving my parents beat to crap 86 Toyota Tercel... Let me tell you, it was a total chick magnet 

[Sumpnneedskillin]

I bought my first car from my Aunt for a steal.  68 Nova with a 307.  Was 20 yrs old and had 80 or 88 thousand miles on it.  My parents got tired of having it the driveway after I joined the Navy so I sold it.  Got a decent price but man, I wish I still had it.

When I was a kid, EVERYONE in my highschool drove some old thing that we salvaged, ignored the rust, dumped a huge motor in it (or if we couldn't afford that, just a 4 barrel carb and headers.. ), put on some mag wheels, and tried to see how many tickets we could get before they took our licenses away.
You don't see that much anymore.  I teach high school and I am sad to say that there is not one singe old soupled up Nova, Chevelle, Mustang, Camaro, Cougar, Bronco, Charger or Gran Torino in our parking lot.  In fact, I wonder what the hell they even do over in the shop for projects...

If I can find any pictures of my '66 mustang I'll scan and post..

one of my buddies in high school restored a 67 Nova for his senior project.. it was a beast when he got done. but it was definitely a rare thing, not the norm.

In the 80's our idea of "restoration" included;
Bondo
Red Paint
A cool shift knob
Mag wheels
a chunk of something jammed up under the rear leaf springs to jack it up
Stereo and speakers
A Holley 4 barrel carb
Hooker Headers
Dual Glasspacks
Chrome Valve Covers
Chrome Air Fliter Cover tall enough so you "had to" cut a hole in your hood

Everyone stuck to this code.  We were purists.  The only excuse for not doing this was "I am still working on it"...

[millertime89]

haha oh man.... thats awesome  i've heard "I'm still working on it" once or twice even now..
