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 :chuckle: 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! :bash:

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  :drool: 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  :chuckle: :bash:

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.  :bash:

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.. :chuckle: :chuckle: ), 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... :dunno:

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.

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"...
